I REALLY need money, so . . .

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 9:38 PM




Inspiring, Encouraging, Supportive, and Kind. :icondanceswithhorses: My dear friend, you will be missed.



Finances seriously suck. Well, the lack thereof anyways. All of you who don't have to worry, I would say count your blessings, but it's probably a matter of time until you, too, get these experiences.

So, I get the bill for my computer today. A computer I need so that I can access the internet, get my art out there, maintain my website, manage files, budget, and so many other things it can't even be named. I didn't get a bill last month, so now I'm paying this month, last month, plus $36 in late fees. Money I just don't have! Those idiots. I am so sick of this company I can hardly stand it. I have never had anybody piss me off as thoroughly as these people.
:pissedoff:

I am hoping desperately some of you will be able to commission me or buy prints from me, because I really need it. If your finances are no better than mine, then don't, but . . . I have a little bit of money in savings, and I can put off one month's payment on my car (you can only do this once a year). I am also seriously debating finding my bird a new home, which might get me a couple hundred minimum (I would stress more getting her a good home, then getting lots of money, obviously.) I was just starting to feel that maybe I had things under control, maybe things would be okay, then I get this stupid bill. Never, EVER, use HSBC. For anything. Their customer service sucks and they are the most fee-happy company I have ever dealt with. I have never been so disgusted with a financial institution in my life; and I am not easy to piss off either.

I am not going to be able to take much more of this stress. I can feel my symptoms starting to get out of control and it really worries me. I don't have money to get a prescription, and until work picks up, my parents can't either. I work for my dad, so while money is really tight for him, it is for me too. I don't know . . .
:cries:

Sometimes life just really sucks.

Also, my revamped site is up. Please browse it and give me feedback. I'm still missing some images, because it's taking forever to upload stuff. I have no idea why. Just one more personal joy in my life. But I am looking for feedback on it.

If I drew your character or photo

If have drawn your character or pet or whatever, or referenced from a photo you allowed me to use (and you have given me permission to sell the original artwork, or prints from it), I would be happy to give you a free print. Yes, free! The print will be no larger than what I can print on tabloid paper (11X17 inches), and it is just standard paper. The print will be good quality. The only catch is that you have to pay shipping. Unfortunately, I am poor. This is a permanent thing, too, not a temporary deal. If you decide you want one, send me a note with the image name, the size you're hoping to get, and if you need it by a certain date. I will need a week for the printing, and shipping varies according to distance and time of year.


If You Use (or want to use) One of My Journals
Here's a little bit of info for you. Pretty much all of designs come from the same base. What this means is that the HTML code you use in every box except the CSS box DOES NOT change between journals. You can use, say, Skyline Breeze Layout and change to Mars only by changing the CSS code. Copy and paste once and that's it! Makes it easy. I like to change journals a lot, so maybe others do too. Also, with each journal that I do, I tend to learn or add something new or helpful. If you see a feature on a newer journal that is not on the one you're using, note me. Tell me which journal you have, which journal with which feature you like, and make sure to include your email address so I can send you the direct code and the HTML you will also need to use it. Also, I am thinking of making a tutorial for using my journals. Hopefully, this will help you better understand how to use other's as well. So, any questions or suggestions in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
