Yawn. It's Annie's bedtime. Night. <3

I wish that Solia had some of the artists that this place does... I'm trying to buy art on there but there's not a lot of people's styles I like...

Good night, Anon.

Night Annie

Me? Have friends? HA! I seriously don't have any friends in this area. My severe lack of friends is the only reason I put up with her.

That sucks. Don't you go to school, Dark?

No I don't, I'm 22 and have NOTHING to do with my life.

Awe, that sucks. You can't get a job or anything?

I tried college and failed so bad my financial aid was revoked. I can't afford to go on my own.

And what about neighborhoods? Neighbors here basically ignore each other or rob each other.

You can't get a job, Dark? o.o Is the job market real bad where you live, too?

Yeah job market is really bad and I'm somewhat mentally disabled. I actually have SSI for income because with my brain doing what it does there is no way I could hold a job.

Oh god my back hurts. My lower back has hurt for over a month. Most days it's not too bad but today it really hurts. I don't know why.

Why can't you hold a job, Dark? If you don't mind my asking, what is... wrong mentally?

I have severe social phobia, severe social anxiety, major depression and dysthmia.

Basically on days when the depression isn't crippling I'd still have panic attacks if I went out in public for a full work shift.

Awe, that's a real shame... Maybe you could find some type of online job? Something where you don't really have to interact with people face-to-face? That really must be very hard...

Well I don't have any usable job skills since I haven't been to college except for one quarter. :S

I would try part time but I worry I'll have issues with the pressure of having people telling me what to do and such. I mean I don't mind taking orders it's just I have issues with having a bunch of stuff to do in a specific tome frame.

I'm kinda considering being a night stocker at Safeway :S

Ooo that would be a good idea, dark. Is it really hard with just large crowds or is it just people in general?

Large crowds and dealing directly with people I don't know already. So a one on one situation with a stranger, such as a new boss for example, is terrifying.

._. How... do you get to know new people? Just pushing through it?

Basically... I don't. I have friends I made in grade school and a couple of friends I got to know through my sisters. Otherwise I really don't make new friends ever.

I suppose getting to know someone for work would be a "grit your teeth and bear it" situation.

Why not try to get an at home job? I know a few people that work from home and just call people and try to sell magazines and things over the phone. One girl I know actually uses skype to call.

Heh, I also have a phobia about using the telephone as luck would have it.

If it makes you feel any better, I super hate using the phone, too. It's not a fear but a sort of dread unless it's my mom or my friend Ray.

I don't even like calling my friends, I prefer to text and until recently I didn't have a texting plan...

Only person I really call is my mom, everyone else I text, just because its more convenient.

I only call my friend cause it's quicker to tell her something real quick than text her and wait for the reply. Granted she almost never answers her phone...

The only person I am honestly comfortable calling is my Mom. Everyone else I really don't like talking to over the hone.

I only have 300 tests a month so I use them sparingly in case someone decides to send me a million. Can't afford unlimited. :C

my mom's the only one I feel comfortable holding a conversation with. I don't mind calling my friends if it's just something quick, otherwise I text.

I just ate cake, and now my belly is angry with me... Sadness...

I have a 700 minute family plan with my mom, the 300 texts are 5 dollars a month we have insurance on the phones fro 5.99 a month per phone(so about 12 dollars a month together) and everything comes out to about 85-100 a month depending on a few variable.
