Ok, Friday I walk into class, more of a nervous wreck than last wek, anticipating how my movie will do in my film class...

...Then my teacher announces she won't screen the movies for another two weeks (at least!)!!!



Is it alright to lose circulation in your limbs in your sleep?

Just wondering...

So I got a note from my sis Thursday saying she's going to have friends over Friday night (FUCK THESE FUCKING POP-UP ADS!!!! I should stop goig to all those raunchy porn sites...) so I had to switch shifts on Saturday with a friend of mine so I could get SOME sleep...

But it required me to work the afternoon to evening shift and then report back into work no more than 8 hours later for the morning to afternoon shift.

Due to certain coincidences, that'll be my schedule for the last two weekends I work at 7/11.

Oh well.

Then last night I get a phone call from a friend who has gone through A LOT in the last few months (Walked pout of her home 'cause her dad hit her is just the start of it).

She needed a hundred dollars because she was behind on her rent (she's staying at another friend's of mine home and apperently didn't tell her she had to quit her new job because they wanted her to work a schedule that would have her miss her college classes).

SO I picked her up and took her to the bank. But I told her (because I was in a similar situation for a couple of years up until six months ago) That you have to tell my friend that you had to quit your job (they'll understand) and that's why you couldn't pay all the rent (because they'll think you're holding back on them). And that's just to start.

She has to leave her boyfrind too (if just for a while) because she depends on him to avoid her problems right now, and she can;t, because her problems wil just get worse. He hasn't been supportive or helpful, just demanding and complaining (he tells her to do so much to make his insecurities go away, but fails to help her do so).

He also does so much to make her try so hard to work on the relationship and she doesn't have time to do that.

She can't have a boyfriend right now, she can't even go out with friends every week, becasue she can't afford it.

She has to stop everything and consetrate on getting herself in order before trying to have the perks, because she's putting icing on an empty plate.

So I gave her the money and I'm leaving right now to take her to look for a job.

Tomorrow she has an interview, but I told her if she doesn't start doing what I told her she has to do, I'm not doing shit for her any more...

...and if she doesn't by the week's end, I'm telling all her other friends to do the same.


I fucking hate to do this, but she needs this kick in the ass right now...

That's what got my ass in gear and made me the "financial monster" I never thought I could be at this age...



Thanks Dad. You didn't have to come back into the picture all those years ago, but you did, and I would probably have slit wrists in a tub by now if it weren't for you.

Damn, this got long... and where the hell did all those search links come from?!
