Dream Avatars, ramblings, whatever.
So obviously I don't write on here too much, but I think I may start. I've had a lot to write about lately.

My life has taken twists and turns that I could never have predicted.

In September last year, I was hired as a cashier at a dollar store. In December, my father, my best friend, was diagnosed with liver cancer. He died a month later, on January 15th. Ever since that point, I had struggled with my job at the dollar store. When my boss stepped down and we hired a new one, she wasn't so understanding of my situation. I ended up getting one 6 hour shift a week.

At minimum wage, that's barely enough to cover the gas to drive to work. I requested hours, explaining not only did I need to pay rent, but I needed to pay other bills as well. Finally in July, when she still refused me anymore hours, I quit. A month later, I got a job at a call center as a customer service phone rep.

8 bucks an hour, 40 hours or more a week. Things were looking up, until the middle of October...

I started getting severely depressed and very sick all of a sudden, missing almost a whole week of work all at once. Eventually, they let me go, claiming that "this job was not the job for me". ...... I still haven't turned in my badge. I plan on hanging onto it a while. They screwed me over. I can screw them over in return...

When I got that job, I also had just made a security deposit on a new apartment. 480 a month, all utilities included. It was a nice place. Iffy neighborhood, but close to work, close to rehearsals, close to everything I did...

When I lost the job, I lost the appartment as well. I can't stay in a place I can't pay for after all...

After discussing everything with my mother, finally I convinced her to let me stay at home, at least until I can get back on my feet. I've applied for several new jobs, and even applied for financial assistance from the state. No word on how that's going yet.


Now, on a more romantic side of things...

There might be a slight chance that I maybe only slightly like someone just a little bit.

<.<

MUAHAHAHAHA.

Here's the best part. There might be a slight chance that they maybe only slightly like me just a little bit, too.

See ya on the flip side!
