Cool. What songs did you get?
Mood: Horrible. Just… horrible.
Reason: Blah, I know I shouldn’t dump this here, but sometimes I just need to get it out somewhere.
I don’t know what’s going to happen. My family is literally at the point where we can’t leave the house, I can’t explain why because they don’t want me to say anything. We have absolutely nothing to pay the bills with, so the phone/cable/internet company could cut service any time they wanted to, and so could the electric company. We’ll have no electricity, and that is NO joke, if we don’t find some way to get these bills paid by the end of the month.
Our house isn’t selling. It just sits there. If we got that dumb thing to sell, we’d be partly out of this mess.
Basically, we’re cut off from everyone and everything until we get the money to pay our way out of this, and right now, it’s literally impossible. I honestly am not exaggerating about everything that’s going on right now. Things have just kept going from bad to worse, and never in my life did I think I’d be in this kind of horrible situation.
I really, honestly don’t know what’s going to happen to us.
And it really scares me. 
little chef
Mood: Not well 
Reasons: 1. I’m still in stress from yesterday, when my father accused me of being completely “unhelpful” when it comes to any kind of work, among other things.
- My chorus teacher literally thought we should humiliate ourselves by attempting to sing a whole piece we haven’t fully learned, and we only have two weeks to learn it. On top of that, they said we HAVE to rely on YouTube videos dedicated to the piece, yet I found none that focuses on the singing!
Sorry Little Chef :[
Things will start looking up, hopefully sooner than later. In the meantime keep reminding yourself this is not forever. Good luck!
I’ll be praying for you little_chef_eva09 Sorry you’re having such a hard time.
Mood: Ok
Reason: I’ve had a pretty good day. Except for school. Math was really hard (oh how I hate math.) I got some stuff done today. And I got my skunks in the mail.
Oh, I got a bunch of stuff. Some Journey, Papa Roach, Van Halen. Mostly old stuff. I don’t know if your into that kind of music though, it is really nice to have new music on here 
wow, little_chef, that sounds really serious. Just know that you have people out there who care about you, including me. I’ll be praying for you and your family. Please feel better
Mood: kinda sad
Reason: The whole thing with little_chef. I don’t like hearing that my eva is having a hard time and knowing there’s nothing I can do to help
little_chef- I’m really sorry to hear that you’re having such a tough time at the moment. I hope your family can get through this together and that things will work out soon for you.
Mood: Seriously annoyed.
Why: Can’t see TS3 on June 18th
From past experience with Harry Potter midnight showings, I know that to get the tickets I want on opening day means going a bit in advance. So I’m already planning when/where/with who I will go to see TS3, and some tentative plans were in place and I was getting excited!
But then I found out this morning that my math final will be from 12-3, june 18th. GRRRRR. This is my ONLY final, as I have senior exemption or no final to begin with in all my other classes. I can’t see TS3 after due to graduation rehersal, and then June 19 and 20 are full of graduation stuff. Then I think we are leaving for washington D.C. This isn’t FAIR! I missed seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince at midnight because of a flat tire, now I’m going to miss TS3 because of my stupid math grade. The theatres near me don’t usually show things before noon.
And the worst part is that none of my friends get why I’m upset or how much TS3 means to me. I’m going off to college, and graduating, and TS3 was supposed to be the last thing I did before official graduation festivities kicked in. I know I can still see the movie, but I’m really upset.
Completely understandable Sarah. I know that would bum me out too. I’m sorry your schedule is against you that week >< Maybe keep a look out and see if there will be an advance showing you can get tickets to in the newspaper or through radio station give aways. I’ve done that with a number of films, including animations like Shrek the Third, Up, and HTTYD. Good luck!
little_chef: You and your family will be in my prayers. We all hope things will turn around soon.
Mood: ಠ_ಠ
Reason: Okay, so my mom and I signed up to do the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk when it comes to our area. We were going to go with a group at my mom’s work. Turns out, the lady who invited us to join this group is deliberately trying to keep us from raising money. She’s trying to get people around my mom’s office to not donate to us. Together, my mom and I still have to raise over $3,000. If we don’t raise enough money, we have to pay for it.
Oh, and I stepped on a thumb-tack this morning.
So yeah, life’s been fun. ಠ_ಠ
Mood: Happy
Reason: I’m eating chocolate cheesecake!
Mood: Happy/Grateful
Reason: My new skirt and jeans came through the mail today! I adore them both and can’t wait to wear them. 
little_chef_eva09: I feel terrible for you and really hope your family gets outta that problem real soon. Just try to think positive and know that the amazing people here at PP are here for you 
Sarah: Poor you! I know how annoyed you are. I also have a lot of tests around June 18th (even though I live in England, the date doesn’t really apply to me- July 23rd is the UK’s TS3 release date) I hope you will get to see it eventually! 
thewisecookiesheet: That’s quite a jam you and your mom are in. Hope you both can raise that money before you have to pay it back. I’m sure you can do it! Also, I hope your foot is okay after stepping on that thumb tack! 
Biggest_Pixar_Fan_Ami: Very niiice! thumbs up
thewisecookiesheet: I don’t get it. Why in the blistering blue barnacles would the very woman who invited you to join the fundraiser try to prevent you from raising funds? Isn’t it a little self-defeating? 
Granted, she probably wants to raise money for herself so she can get back her investment, but to me, that’s just selfish and ruins the whole spirit of the exercise to begin with.
Sarah: I know how you feel. My friends wanted to watch Iron Man 2 on Monday at the last-minute, and because I had assignments due on Wednesday, I told them they couldn’t make it. So they went and I missed an outing with them.
little_chef: I posted this on your dA journal as well, but it doesn’t hurt to reassure again; you’ll be in our prayers that this will work out alright.
Current Mood: Severely Annoyed
I seem to keep poor company. Last weekend, I roped in a few friends to go for a photoshoot for an assignment I had. When it came to taking the bus back to their apartment, they asked me to swipe my ticket for them (Sydney uses a prepaid feeder ticket service, unlike Melbourne and Singapore, which has ELECTRONIC CARDS! Keep up with the times! ). Anyway, I’m really annoyed because firstly, I’ve always gone dutch with them when it came to transportation for their assignments. And secondly, I don’t understand why they never purchased tickets or use their own coins if they knew we were going out and about in town. They were also impatient throughout the shoot, even though I have been helping them with essays for countless times.
I also hate last-minute disclosures. Two of my buddies promised to go watch Robert Downey Jr. 2 on Wednesday after my assessments, but they went ahead prematurely after theirs finished on Monday. The craziest thing was the show starts at 3, and they called me to haul my butt to the city at 2! And yesterday my society informed me they were going poster-pasting for an event this morning, but they only sent out the e-mail late at night (I check twice a day, in the mornings around 9 am and evenings around 6 pm). I hate last-minute notifications!
Maybe I shouldn’t be posting rants here. Maybe this would be better suited for the ‘Grind your Gears’ thread. But I’m really, really irritated these past few days! Thank god one of my assessments is over!
[quote="The Star Swordsman":2vr8qezv]Mood: Stressed
Reason: I’ve gotta get off the procrastination habit.[/quote:2vr8qezv]
Ugh, I know how ya feel . It’s one of the hardest habits to kick, and I still haven’t completely dumped it. It’s stressful, I know. but you can overcome it! It just takes a lot of work.
[b:2vr8qezv]little_chef_eva09[/b:2vr8qezv]- Wow, little chef. I’m really sorry. I hope things get better. I don’t think we’ve ever been in quite those shoes, but my family and I have struggled just the same. It’s hard, especially now-a-days. But God will get you through, you just gotta trust him. Keep your chin up. You’ll be in my prayers.
Oh, and don’t ever feel bad about venting to us. We’re like a family here, and when you need to let it out, you need to let it out. Again, I’m praying things’ll get better for ya.
Current Mod: Good! But a tad bit frustrated…
Reason: Got some songs I’ve wanted for a long time from ITunes ! But I can’t seem to put them with my Violet play-list and make them all play together
.
Well, she’s already raised her money, and then some.
We think she’s jealous that 1) This is my mom’s second time to do this, and 2) my mom, when asked, will say it’s ‘not that hard, it’s just a lot of mental stuff’, and the boss tried to raise her funds on “pity” money. But, my mom did get in touch with a recruiter yesterday, which was surprisingly fast, and we’re hoping we can send in a 2-weeks notice soon. But, this is the same lady who told my mom that ‘going to college is a waste of time’ so this act isn’t /that/ surprising.
Mood: Happy
I got my Princess and the Frog poster today! 
And it is gor-geous.
Awww, thanks so much everyone for all the lovins and support. You really are like my big huge family, and your sweet lil pieces of encouragement and support really mean a lot to me. Just within this past week, God has blessed us incredibly with a few somewhat-large sums of money to take care of a few problems, from people who simply gave out of the willingness of their hearts. We’re obviously still not out of the woods yet, but I keep believing that we’re always another step closer to a huge miracle and haven’t stopped praising God for all He’s done. <3
Now to explain my absence!
My current mood is a bit on the “doing better” side, considering all the mental and emotional stuff I’ve had to go through over the week. I finally finished my last class of Bible school last night, and graduation is next Sunday (not this coming Mother’s day)!!
Anywhoo, my mom’s laptop started giving me some serious crap the other day, blue screens, restarting by itself, and everything, so I just stayed off it for a good few days. It overheats REALLY bad, so I just unplugged it completely and let it be. I turned it on today to get some stuff off of it, and I haven’t had any problems (yet). I don’t want to overwork it, but I do need to start getting stuff off of this thing, since it’s pretty much just a matter of time before it does go for real. With it giving me these kinds of problems, I probably won’t be getting online much, and I have to bring it to my uncle to see if he can take a look at it.
I needed to stop in and say “hi, I’m still alive!” to my PP buddies, though. I miss you all so much, and can’t wait to get back into the normal swing of things!
little chef
little_chef: I read about your troubles, and I’ve been praying for you to all this week.
Yay! I’m glad you’re doing better little_chef!
Mood: Worried
Reason: I still have to earn money to go to this church trip I’ve been wanting to go to for a while. I have to earn $140 more dollars in just 3 weeks! The church put me on their list so I could get a job to earn money, but they still haven’t called me yet. And if I don’t get enough before then, I won’t get to go.
little_chef, yay!! I’m glad everything is starting to work out for you I was kinda worried!
Mood: Tired, happy, excited
Reason: well, it was a pretty long day. A whole day of school and then we had our last Improv show of the year. It went really well. I got some laughs, but my team ended up losing in the end, which isn’t a big deal, but still, I wanted to win!!! 
Then at the end of the show I was named as the Improv Club’s Vice President for next year, and I’m so freaking happy!!
And of course, I’m excited cuz I get to sleep in tomorrow for the weekend! For whatever reason, I’ve been really tired lately
little_chef: I’m very glad your situation has improved. If you’re honest and kind, The Deity Up There knows, and good things will come to you.
“Life will knock us down, but we can choose to get back up.”
Yeah, I stole that from Jackie Chan. But it’s great words to live by.
Current Mood: Exhausted but happy
I had a crazy week. First I had to complete an assignment at the last minute by Wednesday, but I managed to get it to the printers one day in advance, so all was good. Then I had to finish a promotional video for my society by Friday, but I had to attend a fundraising event (A Night Market, or “Pasar Malam”) at my uni on Thursday and my whole day was taken up. I finished the video late last night, then had to sleep early because I had a project group meeting at my house this morning. Did a rush spring cleaning, then had to take the gang for lunch and entertain them the whole afternoon after discussions (they used my computer to watch dumb and very rude videos on Youtube). Then I excused myself for dinner, and finally, after six crazy days, I can breathe a sigh of relief!
It’s not over, though, since I have another meeting tomorrow, but it’s at someone else’s house and I’ve already done my job for them. Can’t wait to start on my fanwork!
