I haven't been online either in all that time, I had tons of work to do myself. Congrats on the summer job. Sounds like a nice one, working outdoors and all.
I am so tired from working lately, I don't think I could hold down a real job for a long time. I think I should seriously consider getting on a pension at this point. I only have about $150 in bills a month as it is, my needs are very simple. A pension would give me about $850 a month... I could make more actually working, but like I said, my needs are simple. If I can see a movie once a month, buy some books every so once in a while, donate $7.50 to gaia for keen gear, and have some cash for maintaining my zoo of pets, I'd be very happy, and $850 would more than cover that. At least it would take the stress off of trying to make enough each month to pay those basic bills. I don't think I'm cut out for the real world anyways.

Yes, I think I'm just about ready for retirement myself. I just want to make enough money to be able to afford to go back to school for another year. I enjoyed my first year of college alot, even if I'm not too great at it. The job is really great, but I allready really miss one or two people back north and almost feel like just quitting and heading back so that I don't have to be without them. Which is silly, 'cause I know they probably don't really care, and that it'd probably be good for me to try going out here and to try to make some new friends or something.
The whole 'outside' thing is kinda weird for me too. Especially the whole 'sun' thing, we at least have outside where I'm from so I'm not totally unfamilliar with it.
...I have sunburnt arms, I'm thinking that if they're still this red by July 1st I can just take my shirt off, paste a maple leaf to myself, and be set. xd

Yeah, the real world sucks almost as much as life before entering it. Y'know, highschool and all. Except... not really, no. Still, it kind of sucks, so point there.
It's why I've taken it upon myself to start going about proposing to all my female friends, female aquaintances, and even some female strangers, in search of a sugar-mama.
Zathura, will you get rich and then marry me? neutral

Also, I miss my own computer. Even when I had shoddy wireless internet it wasn't this laggy! I don't have photoshop, can't copy disks, and have to sit in my aunt and uncle's tv room to get online. And their headphone set is a one eared headset deal, so I hear the TV even if I have something playing!

Ha! The only useful advice my grandmother and mother have ever given me was "If you ever get married, marry a rich man." xd Hrmmm.... wise words from experience, I guess.
So seeing how we are both gold diggers, that ain't going to work xd

The bonus for me, though, is that I actually do qualify for a disability pension. I put it off, trying to carry my own weight and not be a burden on society, but like i said, I don't think I'm going to cut it as a full time worker. Working full time makes me a very unhappy, ill, and frazzled person. I become a shell, really, and have no time for anything I am actually interested in. I could make 2,000 dollars a month, but I spend more money on crap trying to make myself happy, and for what? I find when I am not working, or making just enough to cover bills, I am my happiest. I have time for my crafts/hobbies/interests, and I have more to say, and am more positive.
Besides, when I am working, and out all day, I buy food, I eat more than usual, and I gain a lot of weight. When I am not working, I lose that weight. Why would I be tired, fat and unhappy, when I can be rested, thin, and content with the same amount of funds in my pocket?

No one can say I didn't give working a fair crack, and no one can hold it against me that a career of only 6 years of work is too little considering I have had 2 nervous break downs in that time. So I think I will seriously think of going on the pension now. There is no sense in being a burden to my cash-strapped family, and I am allowed to make $500 on top of the pension (let alone what I could make under the table). So I could be getting as much money a month working part time or less, as I would working 40 hours a week at minimum wage every month. ******** work, I want to be happy.
Besides, if I'm going to be a burden on someone because of my desire to have some stablity, it might as well be on people I don't care that much about (my neighbours and strangers, HA!), rather than my family. I'd rather just have emotional support from them without feeling guilty or having hard feelings or anything.

Hell, I could start a career of writting in that case, I'm sure there is a novel rattling around in me somewhere.
I think I have been holding society's stigma of mental illness against myself. No one would begrudge someone with MS a tiny pension, so why should I think myself so undeserving because my problems lie within the genetic wiring of my brain.
When I work and have that stress on me, I increase my chances of serious harm, whether it be ourside forces, or from within. I know society doesn't care personally about me, and would rather their taxes didn't raise to suppost another dead weight, but I care about me, so to them I say <******** you!
Besides, I could get a annual buspass for free and subsidized housing and finally live on my own. Yummy. I think I have finally talked myself into it. xd
