my momma and sista totally came through for me.

i asked for my moms help.

i didn't ask (e:hodown), but shes gonna send me a care package. so not neccessary. but totally appreciated.


the elder ho ladies know how to hold it down, just like jlo, but ho style.


we should have our own perfume, i would call it ho style, for the upper class ho, who keeps it real.


anyway, fantastic sams can kiss my ass, nobody ever tips me there. sorry but this is 2006, what the fuck can i do with your shitty ass dollar tip? nothing. stop being cheap and gross and tip $5.

this is why i have an interview at a nice williamsvilla salon on monday. rich people know how to tip.

ok, (e:paul) and i are off to the dmv to renew our licenses, and for me, my registration as well. they charge you by the weight of your vehicle, and mine weighs less than 2000 lbs, which will only cost me 26 dolla. score!

before, i walked to work.

i need to buy: shears, and trimmers, which cost about $300 total.

my car needs to be fixed.

my insurance is going to terminated if i don't pay 400 by fri.

my rent is overdue.

my utilities are overdue.

i lost my license again. my registration needs to be renewed by sat.

i havent bought a new razor in over four months. say hello to hairy legs.

my new diet will consist of noodles.

i feel like the moment things start to somewhatr sort themselves out, i get hit again.

even if i do get through school, my life is going to be total poverty until that point, and probably somewhat after.

this is depressing.

like anyone cares, but...

i hate waiting to eat when im this fucking hungry.



p.s. i had no power this morning and some bitch at work made me cry. i got no lunch and no chance to sit down. and i have to work tomorrow, and every sat and sun til god knows when.

i hate jobs too. wah.
