Life Update and Commissions
13 years ago
Oh god a jackalope!
I suppose after this long I need to at least tell folks what's up. I'm unemployed and as of this month my savings have run out. I'll have to be moving back in with my family here in the next month unless I can somehow move in with my boyfriend 
and I don't want to put that stress on him for no reason.
So, it looks like I need to try to get my life together, right? Well... that's the thing. I've had numerous applications with a variety of companies out for a while now, ranging from banks and hotels all the way down the line to fast food. Granted, I'm only in this situation because I quit working for Walmart, but it was getting ridiculous there. Like 'you'll have to stay 4 hours over' ridiculous, not to mention the various hassles with getting a ride to work on a consistent basis.
And it's just turned into a downhill slide ever since June... you'd have thought that I'd be happy after quitting a terrible job, but I'm not. I wish I was back there working, because then I might be able to finish these up and get going with them.
As for commissions... I don't know. I know I've been sparse with updates and that's because I can barely think to work on them, let alone doing anything for my own gratification. My account's been dead except for favorites and the occassional posting of a commission that slipped under my radar months ago or gifts that friends have given me for the past... two months now? Probably more, story wise, I think the last one I did was All About the Timing, which according to FA's vague feature was about 5 months ago.
I admit, I'm floundering dead in the water at this point, struggling to put something together with my life. My nights have been restless and weary, to the point that I sleep during the day and it's usually just me passing out because I've been insomniac for the past day and a half. My days... eh, I do what I can, I try to eat, get in a little work on something, anything, put out a new mess of applications, browse craigslist, look at my meager possessions and wondering which one I can sell first... basically, life hasn't been good of late and I'm trying not to let myself think of more permanent options to my problems.
I know, first world problems and stuff like that, right? Well, anyway, glad you've been sitting through this for as long as you have now, if you've sat through it. I'm sorry to
and 
you guys have been /endlessly/ patient with me and I've just gone through and disappointed you. I promise that whenever I can I'll go ahead and get something to you guys, free of charge, and hopefully you won't be too disappointed with me.
I'm sorry folks and I appreciate everyone that watches me, and I like the few messages I get.
Thanks

The fact remains that you're having problems in life, which is just as appreciable whether or not you're in a first world country. Life always has its difficulties, no matter where you are, and sometimes we need to just complain about it all - actually, complaining is something of a good thing because we now know the circumstances of why things are silent around here.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this up, Deej, and for not throwing in the towel so easily. And don't worry about a thing, you don't need to get me anything for the wait period - again, you're letting us know what's keeping it up, and we know from past experience that this is going to turn out well. Don't think about disappointing us; instead, think of surprising us with what you show us with your delicious writing.
I do hope things turn around for you and employment gets settled. If not employment, heck, check out your local research centers and see if they need healthy volunteers. Some the trials they do can pay out hundreds or thousands of dollars, and there's centers all around the country (if the idea isn't totally averse to you, tag me via PM or AIM, and I can steer you in the right direction).
Best of luck at least.
