i got back from vermont two days ago. i had so much fun. and i have a ton of pictures i need to dump onto my computer. now for the bad news. my dell battery recently crapped out on me...so NO MORE DELL. if that's not bad enough. all my pictures are on there...folders of pictures from the past three years or so of me and my family and friends. THAT'S NOT EVEN THE WORST PART...my backup emachines is now CRAPPING OUT TOO. the battery is bad as well. so it needs to ALWAYS be plugged in. now, the power cord is getting screwy because it wont STAY CHARGED unless its turned at certain angles...NOT GOOD. WORSE STILL....all of these things cost money to fix, money that i dont have. even worse? to get money you need a job, and no one will hire me. ive tried online application and it doesnt work. wtf. no one will comission me on FA or DA which not only leads me to feel that my art is inadequit but that i am isolated disliked and ALONE. i need a job. i need money. i need to replace the parts on these computers...but i want to do it myself instead of begging for my parents to replace them (which im sure they wont want to because i didnt take good enough care of them in the first place so why SHOULD they care?)
