Gloom, Poor, and...Facebook?
11 years ago
Howdy Ladies and Gentlefurs (and normal people).
This is going to be a short journal despite how much I should explain about the three facts I wanted to note...due to general lack of energy to do anything right now, so further explanations...can be asked for in the comments below if you like.
1) Gloom: Not really feeling peppy right now for multiple reasons, aside from still holding a tiny feeling of grief left over from my grandmother's passing. My buddy
flowtac and his crew's Indiegogo fundraiser didn't meet its goal. I was kind of surprised too considering how much work and effort and multiple updates they put into the fundraiser, you would have think there would have been more backers for such a small goal. I'm just hoping my buddy is doing alright; I know this isn't going to end the progress with his movie or stop him from keeping the word out of the film's existence. I just...I wanted something good to happen from this before the end of the year (I mean I guess getting funded over $2000 is still better than most could imagine, but that was it over two months of the project??? ). Sending good vibes and high spirits to my buddy and his crew for the future; you'll get that movie finished yet I know it!
2) Poor: Adding to the gloom is my own predicament with money. My current job won't give anymore hours to part timer's over 25hrs due to budget cuts and stupid policies, and its getting worse when the company starts cutting more hours when the shop isn't doing so hot. I'm barely making $250 a week anymore (again; I know most people come out worst than me). It's hitting me hard when I find I'm literary broke for the longest time in my life having to keep the current funds I have ready for the next bill to pay, leaving me with maybe $20 to my name this week only. I seriously need to start looking for a new job, or seriously start getting my shit back together and get my damn stories written and edited so I could try and get them published and/or suitable for readers that actually WANT to buy digital short stories...of erotic animal transformation plots...*sigh* >________>;
I know I have to cut back on some things for now, certain "edible" things being my number one commitment to STOP BUYING so I can have extra cash and maybe lose some god damn fucking weight or something >_____< Also means I need to stop buying games; I didn't take advantage of the Steam Fall Sale this past week because I HAD no money to spend in the first place, not even for a cheap $5 game. However; these sales it what busted my credit cards in the first place so its another reason why right now. This also means I'm still not safe to be going back to my favorite artists and getting some cheap sketch commissions still like I used too. It may be another year before that too.
I think I'm starting to get a tiny understanding of what it feels like to be mentally and spiritually squeezed under the weight of this world.
But; I gotta keep myself on my feet or the world is going to take me down, and I ain't going to let it have me without a fight. My grandmother would be disappointed in me, and I'm not reuniting with her at the end of my days only to find her waiting shaking her head in disapproval.
3) Facebook: the odd entry in my life; I finally cracked and decided to create a Facebook page. Nothing too spectacular about it right now, just there as another means to update my status in life and maybe of current projects and upcoming gamestreams or whatnot (I haven't really decided what to mainly use it for). I invite any watchers and lurkers who like my works (and like me for whatever insane reason :P ) to check out my page here: TimidTabby's Facebook Page. Might be another useful way to stay in contact with me too if I neglect or am too busy to respond back to Notes or Comments. I do know that I don't mind using Facebook to keep up with my current Online buddies and any new wonderful people I may meet around the web (or in person).
That's it for now (once again, I lied about this journal be short). Now if you excuse me, I need to sob a bit more at how I can't afford a new Gaming Desktop with a better graphics card and processor to play my AAA games :( Strange sentence to end this journal on, I know. But I've come to terms with how random I can be :P

Also, I would definitely advise that you should start job hunting, at least for another part time job so that way you have enough hours either way. I know it's rough times but you can get through it. My recommendation is try to put in at least 3-5 job applications per day. And if you ever need to talk, I will listen. You know that. ~hugs~
