(no subject)
I want to run this by you guys and get some reactions.
I posted in my private journal that amidst my terrible day today, I worked out my finances for the next three months:
Expenditures: $1,300 (Includes things I NEED to pay, like speeding ticket, phone battery, textbooks, and things I WANT such as to buy my friend Allison a bachlorette present, have spending money for Spring Break, a Duke Hat to wear to the Duke game on Feb. 1 etc. Nothing absolutely unnecessary like a new pair of pants or shoes or makeup.)
Income: Around $400
Big difference. Big. Huge. 900 dollars. The 400 alone would pay for my speeding ticket and one or two other minor bills.
So, the only reasonable solution I can come up with is to sell all my doll stuff.
All of it, including Kanoa.
While the idea does sadden me, I can only think: it's just Resin. Yes, selling him would make me feel like I was not being gracious to Soom, who so kindly gave him to me, but at the same time, Soom isn't going to revoke my license or further my education or show my friend Allison that I care for her.
I just don't want to post it all to DoA and have the masses gossip about how I could so coldheartedly sell such a wonderful present, and if THEY had won they would NEVER sell their precious doll. (And to those, I'd like to see a crossection of exactly how many are financially independent college students who work less than part time.)
So...thoughts? This would mean getting out of the hobby for me, possibly for good, since I don't see myself with a thousand dollars of disposable income that I would want to drop into a doll in the near future. I have other ideas for my life, like kayaking, travel, new cars and apartments and responsibilities.
I'm excited, but I don't know how I'm going to keep my head above water for these next couple months until I land a full-time job.
