holly_evolvingI am really really broke and I need to make more money. I have job applications in at a bunch of places, but it's the holiday season and they're slow. All my internet applications turn up jobs in NYC and Connecticut, to which I will not commute. The cost in gas and sanity doesn't balance out, especially since the jobs are all wayyyyy over my qualifications. Dammit. This is how bad it is: I can't pay any bills this month. I'll be lucky if I can buy presents for more than my niece and nephew.
I don't like bitching about my life on LJ--drama always ensues. And I'm sure there are people who are THRILLED that I'm having such a hard time. Guess what? If you enjoy the suffering of any human being, you aren't one.
It sucks. I'm having more fun at Toys'R'Us than I've ever had at any other job. I guess I'm meant to either have fun or survive, not both. I'm so stressed out that I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm living on Rolaids. I keep getting headaches and my blood pressure is higher than it's ever been. I can hear my pulse when I put my head on a pillow. And my back, legs, and feet always hurt. And this job STILL is way better than any other I've had. Except I can't afford anything. Anything. At all.
Temp agency just reactivated me. They're pretty good about keeping me busy, but I want to keep the TRU job. I have NOTHING to do at night while I wait for Craig to come home. Plus, I can get benefits working even part-time at TRU, which I can't get temping.
Hope?
Apparently I will now be singing at the Swedish Fest at Grounds for Sculpture on December 10th. And I will look FABULOUS, because Swedish or no, I'm busting out my black velvet-and-brocade Italian garb. I shall be Dona Loretta, daughter of a Signore et Professore and avid student of the ancient Pagan ways.
So, come see me be purty and hear me sing.

I'm waiting for Craig to come get me.

Oh Great Cthulhu!
I have been an extremely sedulous devotee this year.
In September, I recruited ![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
rayleigha as a new cultist (30 points). In January, I rescued heart_of_stars from being sacrificed (-200 points). When the stars were right, I defiled the grave of that traitor, Lovecraft (90 points). In June, I legally changed my name to Randolph Carter (-40 points). Yesterday, I visited my relatives in Innsmouth (100 points). In July, I called down the wrath of Yog-Sothoth upon unseeliequeen (65 points).
In short, I have been very good (45 points) and deserve to get hooked up with one of those cute Innsmouthers.
Your humble and obedient servant,
imaplatypus

| Experimental You scored 50 sexpoints! |
| You've used cuffs before, maybe some nice warming oil, and are certainly at least curious. You definitely have some tendencies that are just WAITING to be nurtured by that safe, sane and consensual hand. You do it doggie-style, you probably ask for spankings. You're well on your way to being just kinktastic. Some incentive: the highest scored category has a very hot girl as its picture. |
