So it's been a month or so since I let people know how things are going on my end. Things have changed significantly since I made that post, so in the interests of being a good citizen, I figure I should give those who care an update.
A friend of mine is letting me use his ~3 year old laptop pretty much indefinitely; he upgraded from it quite some time ago, and really has no intention of using this again. It's better than my old Macbook, so it'll probably be my primary computer for a while. I'm still going to get the old one fixed, since the repair place I took it to already did all the work and I want to support them. They're good guys. So I'm just as available now as I was a month ago, for what it's worth. At least through IM/Notes/Emails/etc.
The second big change is that I am finally an employed badger. A burger bar and grill called Juicy Lucy's (named after the type of hamburger) is opening soon, and they've taken me on hopefully full-time. At least, that's what I gave my desired hours and availability as. It's not the most lucrative nor prestigious job, but it's a hell of a lot better than sitting around the house not earning anything.
The wages from my job will probably be prioritized as follows: 1) Getting broken stuff fixed. Laptop and car, mostly. 2) Helping out financially around my uncle's and grandpa's house. My uncle says he doesn't need all that much, but some help paying the bills would make his life a little easier. The final thing is 3) saving up so that I can move out. As thankful as I am to my uncle, he doesn't create a healthy environment for me to live in, I feel. It's not intentional on his part; he and I just don't get along. Lord knows when I'll be able to afford a first & last, not to mention what my salary will allow for rent, but I'll burn that bridge when I get there. Honestly, living with four other guys in a shared bungalow on the cheap side of town sounds like a hell of a step up from where I am now.
So that's the pertinent information about how badger life is going at the moment. Hope things are going great for you all as well! Stay awesome.

That's wonderful you found a job! I hope everything works out. Badger independence would be most excellent. *sticks a quite patriotic flag in your bellybutton c:*
