That's a cold, cold place in the arms of a thief...

Things I need consist of this:

✦ critter food
✦ cat litter
✦ gas money so I can get to school for the rest of the week

It really doesn't seem like a whole lot. But I'm still $125 in the hole and nothing is biting for interviews. I'm getting just a LITTLE pissy. I have food for TJ and I, we're not without that. But everything else? Yeah, that's a little fucked. I can scrounge /something/ up for the critters, but it's not going to last long.

Everyone else here (locally) seems to be just as broke as we are or simply too stingy with their money to toss a $20 or something my way.

I'm just so pissed. I'm missing my classes, not because I've got apathy or want to just hide from everything. I'm missing my fucking classes because I don't have the fucking gas to get out of my fucking driveway and I'm probably going to fail the two I still kept. All because of fucking dumb shit like this.

I just spend five minutes crying because I just don't know what to fucking do.

Please don't take this as me disliking you (cuz I do like you) but I need to say it.

I see these posts about needed money for things such as animal food or gas, and I can't help but think back to posts I read about buying toys and striped socks, tshirts, comics, etc. I know it's super cheap and it's only 3 or 4 dollars for a certain item but think about it, it does add up. It makes me wonder where the budgeting priorities are. Times are tough, shit sucks, I know. Basic needs should be coming first over pleasure items.

Oh no, I totally understand. I didn't manage my money great (though I thought I had) and, while I've been putting in applications since before money got even close to low, there's not much biting. Which is really frustrating me because it's the holidays and it's never been difficult to find work around this time. My plan was to start working when I still had a good amount of cash in the bank and then we'd be comfortable. But that didn't pan out the way I'd planned and, well, there went the rest of my funds. I thought I was well stocked on what my animals needed (50lb bags of food and such), but I wasn't quite. Plus a mishap with the bank and I'm in the situation I'm in now.

This post is amazingly whiny and coupled with the PMs and a general sense of self-loathing I probably should have just closed out my LJ client. But I totally understand how you (and probably others) see it. I post a lot about the things I buy (because, admittedly, I do like buying things) and then whine because I'm broke. God willing I'll learn from this come next semester because I'll likely have rent to factor in to that. D:
