She reminds me of every stubborn teacher I ever had that refused to listen to reason and logic and just wanted authority and power.

its a good thing nobody reads this
they would probably blast me for my lack of capitalization and inability to stay on topic. but ha. its my blog. i can do what i want.
i hate being poor. i hate it hate it hate it.
its not like i want to buy things. I just want to buy food. like the most delicious traditional sub at quiznos that I seriously probably think about every single day. But when a sub is the quivalent of 20% of your monthly income, you just cant do it. Especially when your parents pounded the thought of credit-card-debt = lucifer's infiltration-of-your-soul into your mind as a small child.
So heres an interesting little tidbit. I have never had a balance on my credit card at the end of the month. Ever. in...8 years of credit card owning. I thought only poor people and other debt un-savvy people left balances, but apparently its really weird to actually pay off your credit card bill. So for me, the money I have is actually the money I have. I don't spend it if I dont have it.
and unfortunately for me all my savings are in the stock market. I cant even bring myself to look at my scottrade site for fear that my 2k dollars of investments are now worth less than 1k. Because I am pretty sure that that is what has happened. fucking economy and fucking pieces of shit credit crisis.
i am pissed at JVC. they only give us 70 dollars a month per person for food. Okay, great. So it goes up with inflation, right? No. its been the same since the late 80's. Okay, well, recently, since the price of staples is subject to inflationary pressures, is anyone doing anything about in the JVC office? no! we're suffering right along with the rest of the poor people!
EXCEPT WE'RE NOT!!!! Because poor people have credit cards. Because poor people just spend spend spend and don't have to do anything about it, just paying their minimum balance, until, oh my god, what happened? credit card companies aren't earning the same amount that they're spending because poor people can't actually pay the money they owe, because the money never existed, and oh my god, WHAT? a credit crisis!? SHOCKING!!
so, jvc, give us a fucking credit card, in your name, so that we can spend hundreds of dollars and only pay the ten dollar minimum balance, because i want to live in solidarity with poor people and contribute to the freaking credit crisis like all the other people out there. AND I WANT MY QUIZNOS. AND CHIPOTLE.
*disclaimer*
I know the current crisis has not only been caused by credit card companies. However, the same basic principle applies to the mortgage lenders, preying on poor people.

texans are crazy
i've been engaging in political debate via email with my uncle, and man, it is nuts. I get all these crazy claims out of left field about how liberals are the root of all evil and that they are going to turn america into a degenerate nation full of crazies who want to kill God. its really nuts. I'm like, where does he get this stuff from? i can barely even have a conversation with him, i'm too "liberal". and i'm not even a "liberal" !!
classification of parties is really detrimental. i'd forgotten how conservative texans feel about liberals, it is upsetting. I'm like, didn't you go to college? did you learn nothing?
on the other hand,
this is awesome

I've been hearing so much about hillary and barack and politics in general lately that I am just dying for some normal every day hilarity. So the cat thing is hilARIOUS.
I started my second job at Sullivan's yesterday. The other hostess reminds me sooo much of Danielle, its crazy. Skin tone, hair color, hair texture, height, eyes, everything. Facial expressions, manner of speaking, all the same.
this second job stuff is sweet. I dont understand why everyone who doesnt have a family and only has one 9-5 job doesnt get another one. Maybe its because we dont have cable. Or regular TV, at that. So we (I) come hom eat 530, go to the gym, home by 7, and then theres five hours of sitting around, doing nothing, hanging with the roomies. Gets SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDD.
and now, our internet provider is gone! JGOODMAN, who we were "sharing" wireless internet with, has mysteriously disappeared from the list of available network providers. Its been gone for over a week now. Either hes on vacation and his connection got screwed up or he canceled his internet service. I hope hope hope hes on vacay.
And I just finished the last episode of season 4 of entourage (on the hard drive), and those mother effers arent coming out with season five in june like originally planned but instead, in AUGUST because the greedy corporate b-stards took so long to give the writers their money.
so now i have like six episodes of Weeds left to tide me over until....when...august? september? i doubt i'll ever pay for cable, but we'll see. I'm thinking about downloading the entire series of arrested development, maybe seinfeld, to last me through till then.
I'M SO POOR! I NEED TO RAISE A LOT OF MONEY!
If you have money, just sitting around, and want to help a poor graduate student who will likely remain not rich for the rest of her life, i could totally use about 100k. 80k would likely cover it if 100 sounds too ridiculous. even small contributions of $5 are welcome.
