sorry, i went looking for my tablet pen and did not manage

Your tablet pen is missing? Oh no! I hope it turns up soon!

yer, i lost one in the move so this is pretty much it

Aww that sucks! Any chance of being able to buy a spare or two eventually?

Also, thanks for the runes!

this is the only spare i had XD the brand i use went out in 2012 so finding anything(working or not) is hard

Oh...that sucks. Sorry.

it's alright XD i will find it eventually, just not right now

how is work going?

*squees and glomps Cho* thankies for the runes love!

Ah. Well, I hate my job and I'm still recovering from the holiday weekend (I'm an extreme introvert with a large family), so it's hard to stay motivated and focused.

well do be careful, most businesses have to start tightening their belts come january

you are welcome ^^

Nah. The place I work for isn't so bad as all that. So long as I look busy and get the main cleaning done, mu boss doesn't even notice.

wow, that is kinda crazy. of course what do i know? XD i am one of those awful unemployed peeps

I'm a custodian for a non-profit so my hours are shit, the job sucks, and the pay is barely worth it.
But if I were jobless, I'd be homeless so it's slightly better than that. And my job is fairly flexible with my work shift so long as, unless it's approved by my "supervisor", I don't exceed 20 hours per week.
But hopefully soon I will find a better job. XP
One where I'm not steadily sinking deeper into debt buy buying cat food and groceries.
Ugh...sorry for the kind of ranty stuff...

dude, this is totally a safe place for ranting

*nuzzles Kad*
Rants are fun to listen to!

I'm just full of a lot of frustration right now. The holidays cost more money than I had anticipated and I wasn't gifted any useful money, so I am stressing over debt that I need to not worry so much about probably.
XP
And I don't have a car, which makes getting to the bank to deposit my paycheck before my rent is due a pain.

Ugh, that sucks... *snuggles*
Online banking/cheque deposit? I know some banks offer that nowadays..?

Nope. Mine is a local credit union so they don't have that. It's normally not a problem, but it's too snowy and icy for me to ride my bike. But if I can remember, I can walk down at take care of the check deposit before work tomorrow.
Won't help my debt any, but at least I'll keep my apartment for another month.

Woo, yay for keeping the appartment!

At this point, that's the important part. And I plan to figure out a time, soon, to get over and apply for foodstamps, which should help a lot too. And if I can find the nearest food bank, maybe I can get some stuff there soon.

sorry, i got lost XD i found my way back though!

jeez, that sounds like a lot of issue for almost no return. why doesn't your credit union have direct deposit? my mom has one and it lets her do that

Because I live in Montana and we're.like 5 years behind everyone im progress They just haven't gotten there yet. Until a few years ago, the one I bank at was pretty small, so I guess they didn't feel the need to be so high-tech?

XD i've only read about off-handed comments alluding to montana. it's a big plains with nothing but sun and grass except for the smattering of cows and mountains of course XD

I get to watch Lights Out with the fam tonight... Anybody watched it? Is it good?

Depends on where in Montana you are, but there really are more mountains than plains.
And, not to get too defensive or anything, but I feel like anyone who hasn't been to Montana (and really been around the state more than just staying in one area) has no room to say anything about it.

People like to make fun of Montana and anyone from there, but not all if us fit the stereotype that has been created...

never heard of it


i've never heard of anyone talking about /people/ from montana(well, outside of there not being hardly any people at all) just the desolation of the geography

Kitarun: Wow that sounds like, hanging with family is always nice.

Kad: I've never been to Montana, but from the pics it looks beautiful, as for people, well people are the same I think everywhere, especially more rural areas, which is the area I live in Vermont

Cho: Thank you thank you <3

I'm from Idaho which is right next to Montana. Helena is seen as a cool place to move to when trying to escape Idaho. Idaho is also in the 5-8 years behind the rest of the country group as well.

so, on the topic of a holiday i actually like, does anyone have plans for newyears?

oh my! it's the ever elusive glitch XD

I have no plans for New Years Eve.
I don't understand the fuss over all the holidays, but that is just me.
I'm not much of a holiday person.

it's just the georgian resetting of the calendar XD it's also an excuse to eat and be up half the night, haha

Changed my mind.
Its one of those psychological thrillers that get to you... Books and movies have a habit of entering my dreams... I do NOT need that in my head all night.

haha, gonna sit in here with us instead? XD suits me~

The stereotype is that people in Montana are all a bunch of uneducated redneck/hick cowboys and farmers who ride horses everywhere.
And as far as population....yeah...it seems like we don't have many people. Partly because yeah, we only have just over 1 million people...but those 1 million people are spread out across 147,164 square miles. But it also means that we have lower crime rates than states with a higher population density.
For example, where my dad lives, he doesn't have to actually worry about locking his house when he's out of town or locking his car.

Good answer cho! Absolutely but I always eat and I always stay up latish, haha
Do you have any plans?

Kitarun: I have these really weird dreams that I know sometimes mean something, luckily I barely remember them. I am very affected by what I watch and read so I make sure it is not horror movie or thrillers. I don't like being scared.

Kad: vermont was like that a while ago, but we have much less land but also little population, except in places like the "big" cities, like Burlington. I live out in the country and our crime is basically based on drugs, heroin, etc. VErmont has a huge problem with substance abuse especially heroin and pills.

Whoops! I missed some convo...
Glitch! Idaho is close we should hang out except I have no car and I swear I'm not a creeper I've just always wanted to meet an online friend-person in reality and now I sound creepy so I'll stop.

New years plans? I'll be at home trying to keep poor Batty calm because there will be fireworks and those freak him out bad.

Moon: Yeah, we do kind of have a meth problem in some areas...

I used to love horror and thrillers... Then shit started seeping into my dreams... Think the first time that happened, i'd been reading "the dreamcatcher" by stephen king...

Not a good idea before bed.

dude, no offense but if you replace 'horse' with 'big truck/van' that is how i feel about most americans XD a year living it has not changed my opinions in the least either, it's super weird and creepy
