I'm a little bit

[boogastreehouse]

I'm a little bit depressed that I can't afford to go to the convention, but I'm more depressed that I'm still just barely getting by in general. It looks like I'll be getting a lot more hours at work in the future, but money's still going to always be tight

I asked Liz about jobs already. Apparently that is not the case.

Liz apparently had to pull teeth to get it to happen, but I'm going to help her with registration.

I feel kinda embarrassed that she had to go to such lengths to get them to agree, to the point where I almost don't even want to go anymore, but she says she really does need me, so I told her I'd be happy to work all three days for her.

I'm working to get into con as well. Don't feel bad Liz had to work hard to get them to agree. Apparently they are being really hardcore and making sure that people are actually going to earn their pass and not just work an hour doing something easy to get out of paying. If you are gonna actually work a decent amount then you deserve the comp and I'm happy you will be there. It wouldn't be the same without you. :)

I know, it's just that it's already humiliating that I can't afford to buy a ticket. It's sort of feels like offering to work isn't good enough; I have to beg for it, too.

I'm just being overly-sensitive, but I've been living on a steady diet of shame and stress for over a year now, and sometimes it really gets to me.

Thanks for being so excited to have me join you. It's friends like you that keep me going and I love you.

we all have plenty to be ashamed of, to stress over, and to lower ourselves to begging in order to get.

don't forget that for every flaw or frustration in your own life, you can probably name several perfectly nice folks with at least that same amount of trouble. try to be as good a friend to you as you are to them :)
