Due to money problems at home...I've kinda been camping out in the back of my mom's van in order to get a ride to school every morning, since bus fares eat up the same money that could get my mom a full tank of gas.

It's kinda been like this for the last few weeks, with her borrowing from up to three different PayDay Advance places...because we went up north to see my sister for her baby shower, since this is her first kid she'll be having...so we went to be supportive, and in the process of doing so, I cleaned up after well, 20 geckoes, two of which had died due to my sister's husband not getting around to cleaning their cages for 4 months...my sister is the one who usually does these kind of things, but now her sense of smell is at near-superhuman levels due to her pregnancy, and it was already really good to begin with...but I ended up getting paid for cleaning around her house the weekend I was up there.

I turned around and traded in my Pokemon Diamond and Resident Evil 2 games in so I could combine it with the money I earned to buy Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, while still having more than half of the money left over to help my mom with snacks and whatnot on the trip back home to good ol' sunny San Diego.

I recently found out too, that Paypal is one of the levels of hell people are put through while on this earth, as a $20 transaction ended up putting me $26 dollars overdrawn, when Paypal decided to say the money could not be transferred over...only to try again a few days later...meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, the bank took a small fee, bumping the money put aside to just under $20...only for be to get charged up the ass with overdraft fees everywhere else...>.<

Though, not everything that's happened has been all bad, these are just the most recent things...but the whole sleeping in the back of my mom's van on a futon has allowed me to get to school on time more...since the buses are kinda iffy for getting on time every now and then...well, okay, 2/3 times, they can be relied on (but I'm still really hesitant to ride in the normal route due to that one girl, since I'm a bit hesitant to get hurt again).

I also decided to bury the hatchet with Connor, since I got a bit skeptical when some of the stories left facts and started ending up being more or less exaggerations of the same screw-up I saw one of my friends in high school make, and I'm still friends with that guy, despite the choice he made that I didn't agree with...still doesn't stop one of the girls that got played by him wanting to jump his bones though...*sigh* some people never learn...but yeah, I decided set things right between Connor and myself, then there's less in life to worry about. I'm pretty sure neither of us (along with Panda) wanna deal with any shit we don't have to. So...there. The Lord has spoken unto me, and I have done so...however, the unveiling he gave to me of a chocolate bar with bacon bits (in World Market if you're curious) in it still seems highly disgusting.

I know it goes against my last journals though...but I'm not done with love yet...but I am gonna be very hesitant with how I go about things...especially since that girl that put me through an emotional blender recently still talks with me...she gave me an Ichimaru Gin cellphone accessory today, only problem is...my cellphone doesn't have any way to connect it...:/

So, it's on my headphones, and looks like I have an earring on my right side...

I can't bring myself to hate her, but I'm not going to repeat past mistakes either...it hurt like a bitch when it happened, you know? I did let her know the situation of my brother and how being unfaithful on both his part and hers fucked up their marriage, and how he suffers from it the most of the two of them...dunno if my message got through to her though...hope it did...but I can't say for sure.

I suppose this should be where I close off the entry, but then again, this wouldn't be complete without a grateful, yet slightly sarcastic toned thanks to all the people who ended up leaving me with over 60 messages, and well over 300 deviations. You guys rock.
