I made this a while ago when someone asked me how I was doing but it was during the time pictures wouldn't upload:



I'm better now. Just when I felt like nothing was ever going to go right, Mr.PRock got his quarterly bonus. Not enough for a PS3 but enough to fucking exhale for once, and maybe even finally buy a cheap dining set and a sewing machine.
