Still Searching for a Silver Lining
Well… the economy is pretty much crashing, which is making life rather difficult if you aren’t very well off financially. So I’m pretty much screwed for a while, considering I don’t really have any money. I’m going to try to get a job in town because I can just walk to work, then. My family needs money pretty badly, so something apparently needs to be done. Money has just had me really worried lately. And gas prices/supply. Brandy, Mrs. Robards, and I were talking about it earlier. It doesn’t look too good. Things aren’t going to be all good and lovely again soon, unfortunately, and that has me worried about going to college. With the way things are right now, I probably won’t be able to get a loan, and my parents aren’t able to pay for me to go to college, so unless I get a scholarship, I probably won’t be able to go to college (at least not immediately). So that’s also on my list of worries now. And there’s the matter of being able to buy groceries and such (which kind of goes back to money). If people don’t have money, then they can’t buy food, and if they can’t buy food, then they can’t it, which leads to starving. And nothing will be done until it gets bad enough for it to affect someone in power. And, so, yeah…
Oh, and I am currently trying to find a prom dress or something similar from a thrift store or something for one of the plays in theatre. I’m not sure if that is good or bad. Oh, I also have to find a suit for the other play. The dress has me a little more worried than the suit does, though. I don’t ever wear dresses, and I don’t really own any dresses (considering I don’t wear them…), so… yeah. It should be interesting. Brandy was joking about it and was like “She’s afraid for people to find out she’s actually a female,” because she disagrees with how I usually dress (apparently, she has problems with the band shirts all the time, and jeans and a t-shirt. I don’t dress feminine enough for her to be happy). I don’t particularly care, though.
Oh, I’m also not able to go to the concert that I was looking forward to. It was actually on Wednesday, but my family couldn’t afford to give me a ride to Charlotte for the concert, so… yeah. It was pretty sucky, in my opinion. I guess it was better that I didn’t go, though, because I would miss another day of school, and glen ended up needing to go to the emergency room that night, anyways. So yeah. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope I get to see the bands some other time, though. Ack.
My family has also been giving me hell about how I apparently need to start eating meat again. “You need more protein,” blah, blah, blah. It’s beyond irritating. My parents tried to trick me into eating meatloaf last night. I do eat chicken, but that’s it. I haven’t eaten meat (other than chicken) since my freshman year, and if I start eating meat again now, it will probably make me sick, which isn’t something I want to have happen since I’m sick enough as it is. Eh. Life goes on.
And now I have “While Your Lips Are Still Red” by Nightwish stuck in my head. Along with several other songs. Oh well.
