Christmas
Christmas - A joyous time of giving, bringing family together, and.....making you freak out about your very limited, job deprived budget.
Good thing: most people have somewhat forgotten about me lately, therefore I don't have to buy as many gifts, despite feeling shitty about that in other respects.
Bad thing: I have no idea what the hell I am going to do about my financial situation....or eternal lack-there-of.
Luckily I was able to run into some scam artist that had stolen tons of merchandise from his work and was selling it dirt-cheap. Got 2 pen/flashlight/laser pointer things (market value of $35 each) and a watch/wallet/something else set (market value of $100, but would be hella-akward to give that to someone) for $20. I checked everything, and its in total working condition, so I got hella-lucky there. However, it was essentially a very minor form of shoplifting, but I was desperate. Leah was there at the time and was in love with the laser pointer pens, so I gave her one for x-mas (she was pretty much hinting the fuck out of it, lol) I was gonna scrounge up to buy her a present, regardless. At least thats 1 that I was determined to find out of the way.
Well, I am seriously determined to not hang out until about halfway through January. I don't want to look like a complete asshole, so I guess I'll have to slip out of the picture until then. If I had *any* money I would buy people things in a heartbeat. After the money spent that I mentioned above and taking my sister to a movie for x-mas (she knew I was poor, so I think she appreciated it) I have $8. Yes, eight-fucking-dollars. Thats pretty much a soda at school every couple days, then 0 moneys. No movies, no pool, no fast food with friends, nothing.
I have had a long history of shitty Decembers that were related to different things. I got to explain this years' dillema, hoorah. At least its not as bad as all the previous years where horrible shit happened in this oh-so-fun month. With the risk of sounding clique, "My December" is pretty much the only song I can think of during this month, ever since it was released deep in the bowels of the "Linkin Park" underground. Wow, I sound pathetic
