i had a lot to say but I kept forgetting to write them down

I don't know if I've told you guys this, but I've spent up to $60 on books alone. And for some reason, they weren't as satisfying as I thought they'd be. For example, Ginn Hale's Wicked Gentlemen. I read the reviews, thought that I'd have a blast with the plot (half demon + demon cop + place called Hell's Below + tension + angst + et al = great ( Read more... )

summer adventures, thoughts i fling at the universe, i thought it was interesting at the time

On the Baptists and Protestants: HAHAHAHA. I know what you mean. I think I might have to quit being one, one of these days. XD

On America being in recession: Essentially, I don't care. It'll be over eventually. There's just a lot of people who do care and are giving me a hard time finding a job. Recession sucks.

recession

companies are downsizing or closing and people getting laid off
and hence, harder to find jobs

what it means to me is this:

my tuition is thousands of dollars more and i am getting less scholarships and grants because the budget cuts caused by said recession are fucking me over. what it also means is that my dad, who is a nurse for a government-owned prison, is getting paid less (which brings us once again to my registration fees and living expenses). and my mom, who balances out our bills, is having a really difficult time trying to pay for everything on time (considering, of course, that all 3 of her kids go to college--one in a private art school--and each of them live in their own respective apartment/dorm room/loft which means rent and utilities for each must be paid for).

lol sorry. had to get that out of my chest. it really doesn't seem that bad, and compared to problems other people have it's not that bad at all. but when you're used to not struggling (or at least not being aware about the struggles) it's kind of a frightening, eye-opening experience. :O

Okay lang yan, Clang. Ilabas mo lang. And if it helps, you have the most helpful answer. :) I think I get a clearer view what it's like to suffer from a recession now.
