And I in such a poverty of grace
Name: Grace
Age: 20
Location: Hawaii, which is part of the reason why I'm so darn poor
1. Have you ever been too poor to afford smokes/drinks/food? Which was the first one to get cut? I don't smoke or drink because I have never been rich enough to get into the habit of religious reasons. I have once had to choose between buying some comfort ice-cream and a week's worth of food, though. And like all sensible people would, I picked the ice-cream.
2. What is the most pathetic situation you have been in due to lack of money? I once had not enough money to mail a Christmas card home. I had to scrape pennies from the penny trays and vending machines.
3. What is the most creative thing you have done to get some extra cash? Besides scraping pennies? I joined the English Circle and took their free books every semester, then sold them on eBay.
4. Have you ever been jealous of your pet for leading a better life than you? Nope. Not rich enough to keep one.
5. You find $100 on the street, what do you do with it? Give it to the police because 1) I'm dire poor with integrity and 2) there's always a chance that the owner would give me 20%.
6. If you could pass on one piece of advice about living life in poverty, what would it be? Join comms like this and be happy about it. Also, pay your tithing.
7. Who is your favorite mod? 'Tis difficult to pick, but I'll have to say
cacophonesque, because she's delicious like a cookie.
8. Why are you elite? I hold my head high when I walk through the town, despite not having much dough or hair. That takes courage, man. Plus, I have a giraffe collection, despite my financial situation.
9. What is your favorite cheap and tasty recipe? Good question, and one that I can answer seriously passionately. I often post cheap recipes to my LJ just because I know there are many poor college students out there that can't afford good food but want to. One of my favorite is the savory pancake recipe, because it requires only water, flour, and whatever leftover there is in the fridge. You can even nick some of your room-mate's spam.
Optional:
10. You're probably too poor to own a camera, but we still want to know what you look like! So, provide us with a representation of yourself in any medium.
This is me in my Ravenclaw attire. You may have noticed that I'm not wearing any pants. Can't afford 'em.
11. Don't you want to spread the love? Provide a link to where you have pimped us!
I'll do it once I get accepted, yo.
