I'm Poor
Not very poor, not very poor at all... but I do work at least two to three days a week and also participate in studies. It's not like I'm just finding piles of money. That would be cool, though.
None the less, I seem to find myself lacking in money quite quickly. Three hundred and fifty dollars are taken from my pay every month (loans). Two hundred goes towards groceries. A hundred for my credit card bill.
Then I lent some money to friends and family (250), and then I paid for all that MCAD stuff (I don't remember... I believe 300 or 350). That's it, a thousand gone.
When I'm in school, I'll defer the loans (the 350), stretch money for groceries farther (no longer buying for brother, sister, and cats), and really I don't have to pay one hundred for the card- fifteen is the minimum.
I'm still owed money from CEDRA, but I have to do one more blood collection. They had issues with my last blood draw.
Anyways, I'm just happy to be able to buy the gifts that I bought. I may dislike Christmas, but I do like the excuse to buy stuff for friends and family.
I just feel anxious when there's less than five hundred in my savings. Things seem to always pop around the corner, and I feel unprepared. When that CEDRA pay comes in, that will definitely go in my savings, and I really won't have any reason 'till school to touch it.
I was hoping to use the repay from mum and pal to buy a PS 3, but I'm not really expecting that to come any time soon. It's not that I think they are not going to pay me back, it's just that I understand if they are unable. I mean, they had to borrow the money.
Anyways, if they pay me back that will be cool, but if they are unable to that's okay. It's okay because they've been there for me where it counts and I expect them to be there still in the future.
Besides, I don't need a PS 3. I just want one so very badly. In my book, that's not a good enough reason.
Oh, how I enjoy playing video games... to play pretend... pretty obvious why I avoid playing girl characters in video games. Same reason why I pick the books I do.
When I get more comfortable maybe I'll get over it? I don't know. Maybe others are just always sad? Maybe you just have to get used to that feeling.
What a ramble of thoughts this post has become. By the by, if anyone is pondering what to get me in the far future of my birthday here are some clues:
The Beatles
MGMT
Flight of the Conchords
David Bowie
Doctor Who
Star Trek
Mighty Boosh
Star Wars
Booster Gold
Animal Man
Night Crawler
Cyclops
Bass
Guitar
Violin
Space
Physics
The Sixties
Cats
Henry David Thoreau
Albert Einstein
Devotchka
Any Film I ever said I liked i.e. Blade Runner, Train Spotting, Gattaca
I like posters, action figures or figurines, mugs, cups, magazines, books, drawings, etc. (and if money isn't tight I value DVDs, Vinyls, and CDs)
If you ever do get rich and want to buy me clothes. Shirts featuring one of those things I like or something regency or sixties styled(men of course, small). Coats, pants, shoes, dress shirts, hats, gloves etc.
A hand drawn comic of us on some adventure would be cool too.
If you rather gift food, no cakes or cup cakes. Cookies, candy, or fruits are appreciated. Food that will last a couple of days... as I typically forget about it, that's why no cakes or cupcakes. I'm prone to tossing out food in less than a week, I just have this normal phobia of eating old food.
So years to come, just come by here and review, otherwise you face me hating you forever and ever and ever.
Nah, I kid.
Really.
