~DuckieOfDoom dumped me at the end of September. I am still extremely depressed.

My birthday is this Friday (the 6th of November)

I like presents.

This Saturday I'm playing Columbia for the first time in honor of my birthday. If you're in the DC area, go to [link] for more information, so you can attend if you like. It's basically my birthday party. $5 a person.

Oh, lordy. Fuck my life. Literally. Fuck it in the vagina with sand-mixed lube. Do it.

Here are reasons to hate my life:

I got a car I didn't want. It was cool. Then it broke.

Then they fixed it. (Computer update, air and fuel filters, transmission flush)

Then it wasn't actually fixed. (Brakes failed because of a faulty hose, and that scared the shit out of me)

Then they fixed it again (new hose, new skreem module in the keys which made it so it would finally actually start on the first try instead of the 5th)

But it still has problems (a leak in the fuel line for which a part is ordered but not yet paid for, it has to go back for that)

So my dad invested an extra $600 into a car less than 30 days after purchasing it, and still has more to go.

Then the bank screwed me over when their check reader ruined my paycheck, pulled all of my money out and then some without telling me (therefore overdrafting me), charged my mom's credit card $200, and didn't even bother to call me once.

Luckily, I keep track of my bank account balance and knew within hours of them doing it, but still. That was 10 days ago. They JUST NOW mailed me my mutilated check, and my new check from starbucks won't be here until Friday, which is pay day anyway. When I will be closing my account with Wachovia and going elsewhere.

So I've gone a pay period without money, and both mom and dad aren't made of money to support me since dad's paid for my car repairs ($600) and my car ($7500 + $350 sales tax and registration + $40 inspection) and my school ($1700) and my books ($100) and mom's card was charged $200, and since she's a school employee, she has no money until this friday, and it's only a partial check, AND her bill is due soon. So.

Fuck my life. I'm broke, and everyone in my family and ~DuckieOfDoom are suffering because of it. Since ~DuckieOfDoom is paying for a lot of my food and he buys my shampoo and razor replacement cartridges and all sorts of stuff. Poor Jake.

I found $30 in my backup work pants today.

I never thought $30 would feel like a fortune, but it's literally the difference between ramen/skipping meals and fast food. For that, I am thankful.

(It sucks to feel like you're working for no money. I worked my shift today, covered half of my coworker's shift, and then worked part of another starbucks employee's shift at another store, which just makes it even worse. just today. and since i don't have my last paycheck, i feel like it's for free. i know it's not. but it feels like it.)

I need a hug. and a hot bath, my legs hurt so bad right now oh my god. and i pulled muscles in my butt. i didn't know it was possible.

Yo, yo, yo.

Back from Ohio with ~DuckieOfDoom. I've been basically living at his house for almost a week, but I've gotta go back home tomorrow or my dad will have a fit

He and I signed up for classes. He's taking 17 credits, I'm taking 14. If he somehow manages to pull this off, he's done with his associates and can get the hell out of community college (finally, geez, what a slacker!)

My classes are:
Tuesdays and Thursdays:
US History - 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
Lunch/homework break ftw
Spanish 101 - (a refresher for me) 1:00 PM - 3:20 PM
Wednesdays:
College Compositions 1 - 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
HELLA huge lunch/homework break
Math 151 - 4:30 PM - 7:10 PM

I'm probably going to pretend I have class all day on Mondays, too, to get out of work (shhhh ) and then just become a weekend employee of Starbucks. I'm also applying at the college bookstore and if I can get that job, I may end up quitting. ~DuckieOfDoom and his sister came up with that idea. ("You're too smart to work at Starbucks. You're getting paid too little to work shitty hours." blahblahblah) I mean, I have been scheduled to open 3 days in a row and only get 1 day off, 2 if I'm lucky. Even though when I was hired, I said I want 20 hours (not 36) and only want to be scheduled for the 5 AM shift as a last resort...

I also did get a new car. I didn't like how the caliber drove, so I had to settle for something pretty ugly... BEHOLD:


2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser in "Cool Vanilla" Her name is Persephone. ~DuckieOfDoom has driven it more than I have.

Also, I did a painting for my lovely lover's house, and he's gonna take a picture of it tomorrow so I can post it

I think that's a good update for now. Gotta work 12:30PM - 9:00PM tomorrow. 8:00AM - 4:30PM Thursday. Friday off! Saturday is like... 2:30 - 8:00 or something. Sunday off, too. That'll be nice. TWO DAYS OFF IN A WEEK. (after working 5AM to 1PM yesterday and then 7AM to 1PM today, I'm freaking TIRED. But I have money )

look at the cuteness that is my boyfriend.

Do you agree that he's fucking adorable?

I haven't seen him since July 14th. I can't wait to see him tomorrow. (TECHNICALLY TODAY! <33)

My van, lovingly referred to by my family as "The Turtle" and hatingly referred to by myself as "The Beast," has been TRADED IN to Cash-for-Clunkers.

My dad got himself a car (silver Dodge Avenger) for $8500 off thanks to my van's oldness.

This is good, because now dad is obligated to buy me my very own new (but used) car!

And it's gonna be blue I hope. We're getting it in the next week or so. YAY! My Uncle John (who is not technically of blood relation) works at a car dealership and is trying to track down a Surf Blue Dodge Caliber for me.


Prettiest color for a car EVER!!!

For your entertainment, a drawing a friend of mine did for me of The Beast back in February:


Sucka made me laugh so hardxcore when I got it! Oh, Jake B. What a trip.
