The most horrible time of the year.
13 years ago
Here comes all the Merry Xmas BS journals.
But not this one.
Haven't had a Christmas that wasn't extremely depressing since the late 90's.
My "present" for this year is getting screwed by the internet provider and possibly cut off again soon.
All these commissions - tried to save enough to get at least an important part for the PC & maybe one used Ps2.
But no. Yet again new service fees and events destroyed that and more.
Family used to be somewhat wealthy, but now most have trouble even keeping their car running, nobody has been able to buy anyone a gift in many years.
But I feel a strange comfort in knowing a lot more people live the same shit since the new millennium.
You don't know until you live with such unrelenting stress and disappointment.
Still working on commissions, next journal should be an update on that.
As of now 3 to finish but probably taking more after these, if I'm still here.
Forced to keep going because companies love charging people fees for being broke!

FA+

I have to finish these soon, I might only have about 2 weeks left.
If I barely keep the ISP on then I have to worry about heating, so that's why I have to take yet more commissions as soon as these are finished >_<
Like half of them (Mboard, C drive, monitor), all malfunctioning, not sure what will blow out.
You see, I'd most likely not be able to spare that much time, and I'd guarantee the mail would destroy it.
Plenty of things they've 'lost' or ruined. Ordering things was always a pain because I have to get it insured and try to intercept them before they can't find the address/return to sender/deliver to wrong people.
But thanks for the offer but the last few times I tried to accept offers like that just led to complete let downs.
I've had some pretty shitty Christmas' for the pasted 10 years. Wanna know what MY presents were? My period, a bad cold, traveling, and my favorite restaurant got robbed last night.
Well, getting sick on days that were supposed to be fun, had that several times.
