I hate this house. I hate this town.
15 years ago
Long story short, my dumbass neighbours had some guys over to see to their drainpipes and roof tiles... again. That's like, what? The fourth time this month?! Anyway I get a knock at the front door and already I have a bad feeling. One of the guys doing the job said he's noticed that that damge has spread to our house (houses are connected). Oh gee, why am I not suprised. I ask the guy in a blunt manner how much the repairs would cost. I must've caught him by suprise, because he seemed nervous to reply. The total cost to fix a par tof our roof that is sinking in would be £200 ($400) which some of you are probably thinking it's not that bad...
...Well, we haven't quite recovered from forking out £3,000 for getting some wall ties done to the house a year ago. Not to mention the £500+ job for the kitchen roof... that wasn't done properly, so we had to get somebody else to fix that builder's problem because he 'vanished' when we tried to contact him. So yeah, you see were this is going. I'm upset because it looks like we're going in a fucking circle and I have the 'pleasure' of telling mum the news when she gets back from work later today.
This town is bad luck, I fucking swear it. There's only one small shop, a church and a community building that hosts lunch clubs for the elderly. There is NOTHING here for people aged between 18 to 40. It's a town for those who want to sit around and wait to die. My dad always said when he was alive "I've lived here all my life. I was born here and I will die here." Talk about famous last words. My uncle is the same. He doesn't understand why I want to leave the town. I feel sorry for him and my dad. They never knew anything better than this town... but then again, they never tried.
Guh, figures. I was feeling so up this morning too. I was gonna try kicking this art block's ass and move on to a few drawings, but now I don't feel like it. Hope you guys don't blame me.
I guess the only good news to report is that my birthday is coming up (Feb 1st). To be honest, I'm not looking forward to it. I also won't hear much from Raf becaue he'll be away at his Dad's for a week. Not that I can talk to him on skype anyways, because my connection is still in crap-mode. No really, the sound quality on my end is bad an crackly so I can't hear the person on the other side and sometimes the call is dropped at random. So that's why I've not been on skype much. I can still type to people, but I do that here. And I rather use skype for voice chats mostly.
Hope you guys are having better luck. Laters~

ughh... we should realy chat some time. :/ i am starting to feel out of touch. heh. only if your up to it tho. from the sounds of it you have far bigger things to worry about then me. but trust me, i am wishing you luck all the way. hell, mayby luck will pat you on the head soon enough.
I doubt anyone will blame you for not drawing, honestly. A month before I moved from my dads I barely drew anything because I was so miserable. Take as long as you need to get back into things, because right now that's most important.
I'll be on skype all day, if your connection manages to get better. Feel free to note me even if you need to talk.
Hope all goes well with you, Mags. Feel better soon!
Well mum isn't happy about it, but she says some insurance money is coming through, so I guess it can be covered.
I don't think it's wise I talk to anyone. I'm worried I'll get irritated or snap at somebody. I've always been like this. I don't want to burden people. Thank you so much for the support. <3
Let me know.
That and I don't have a side ref or back ref for Mags because there is nothing to show off on the back ('cept her tail, but that can be seen on the main ref).
Well lets hope u move out soon then.
Well, mum says she's got it covered, but is not happy about the whole thing.
even trying to cast broken bones.

Hope the roof is either easily fixed or cheaper to fix than the quote
I think we'll be fine with the builders my neighbours got. I looked them up and they have a lot of satisfied customers.
