Yeah, two months without an update. I suck.
Not that I've had anything positive to post lately. First of all, I did lose my apartment. Thankfully, my friends Tim and Rochelle had a spare bedroom that I'm now living in. It's not the perfect solution, to be sure, but they're good friends and good housemates, and it certainly beats the alternative.
Then my computer died. For some reason, I can't get the power supply to hook up, and now that the battery is dead too, well...no computer. I'm having to write this from Rochelle's laptop (which I didn't eactly ask permission to use. Oops! I hope she doesn't mind...)
Then I got kicked out of school. Literally. And right after I had finally managed to scrounge up the money for tuition, too. As you're well aware, $2,000-plus doesn't just fall out of the sky when you're only working for $7.73 an hour. So, I had to wait on my biological dad to come up with his promised share of it, I had to wait on my tax checks to come in, I had to wait for my grandparents to get it all together...it sucks to be so dependent on others. But when I finally got all the money together and all the required signatures on all the required forms...the school registrar refused to let me re-register since it was so late in the semester. Fucking assholes. Goes to show what's really important to them, and suffice it to say, it's not my education.
I'll be back next semester, though. Assuming, of course, that my biological dad follows through on his promise to hire me as an apprentice electrician this summer. Damn money...
The only good thing to report is that I finally got this:
Yeah, leave it to me to make my first tattoo a political one. And a mere eight days before I serve as a delegate to the South Carolina Democratic Convention too.
More to come soon, I promise...

I'm sorry to hear about everything that's going on with you right now. If you ever need someone to chat with let me know. Tough times are hard, but I think it makes us stronger in the end (and smarter, hopefully), although it does suck big time while it's happening to you. I'll send good, positive vibes your way!!
Talk to you soon!!
