RE: your posting asking for advice, CA public colleges won't take into consideration whether you've been emancipated from your parents. If you want them not to take your dad's income into account you pretty much need to be 25, in the millitary, or married.

I was in your same boat. My parents were willing to help, but they couldn't afford to give me as much as FAFSA said they should. My friend and I seriously discussed jumping in a car and heading to Vegas to get married to get more financial aid. I'm not saying that's a good idea.

Don't let your dad make you feel bad about it. Tell him that school now is WAY more expensive than it was when he was young (tuition rates have gone up by X% since then while average incomes have only gone up by Y%). It can't hurt to ask, right? But DON'T let him make you feel bad about it. You're 19 years old, you haven't had much time to become finacially responsible/solvent on your own.

i want that job! hehehe

well we miss you too. so hurry back and fill us in on your life. inquiring minds want to know!

Congratulations I grew up right nearby that Hyatt.

I totally sympathize with the "playstation in your birthday suit" dream. I think it's something everyone wants

Wanted to send a quick hello and to wish you a wonderful week.

email me your set asap... i cannot connect to the internet often, but i will make the effort for you, my greatest SG friend! email me at cnoren@gonavy.com if you want to stay in touch, i would love to see/hear how your doing! -Red.

i'm w/ you..... i'm confused as shit.

Get the money back that you can. Then never loan money. And I mean, NEVER loan money. You have to ask about it if you want it. "Hey, I'm gonna need that $300 from you today or tomorrow so I can pay rent. Okay? Thanks." Good luck on the essay, which is hopefully almost finished.

If you HONESTLY need to ask that question to me, you should go beat yourself unconscious with a rock. You know I am always willing to chat with you, even though you dont know me. I am more then willing to feel your pain and help you through anything, and even though our 'friendship' exists only through 1s and 0s, through the electricty... I still harbor no indifference to you.

We all wear armor to protect our hearts. Sometimes the armor drags us down. That's where we need our friends... to help take off that armor and rest in the safety of like-minded people. The ones who turn you away, they aren't your friends. I wish I could give you a kiss, a hug, and a band-aid to make it all better, but I cannot. Moments like these help define your character, and your worth as an individual. Dont go thinking that your useless or that you should die, because no matter how bad it gets, it eventually WILL get better, and then you will shine. I told you once before, you need to make reality your bitch and drag it screaming. moments like this is where you need to kick it the most. Stay strong, no matter who turns their back on you, know that I am rooting for you and I know you will come back, bruised and bloody but stronger then ever.

I am always here if you care to chat...

PS> Sorry for the novel.

-Red.

nothing here bord..sorry about everything

:-( i was gonna bug you, but if its that far, nevermind thanks though!

if your willing to drive down to port hueneme.... i wont have a car there.... im there for two weeks and then im out to ft bliss. msg me if you want my # and we can discuss this further...

Give up on what?

dont be glum chum, life will throw you curve balls your entire time, you have to run with it. drag that drunk bitch named 'reality' kicking and screaming into the depths of hell so the motherfucker knows who you are when you spit in her face! Keep it intense and never let it go!

Or, You could just go to sleep and have a better day tomorrow. I hope this cheered you up a bit.

Sorry for the novel, its just my way of saying that I hope you will feel better and if you ever feel the need to email some random asshole to talk about your problems... hit me up

Much love.
-Red.

Get better, we are all pulling for you.

Also, do you want me to drive north and woop the shit out of some motherfuckers? I am going to iraq, its not like im going to be easy to find me and arrest me after all of this. think it over when your laying comatose feeding yourself bon-bons.

Good luck with work, I am sure you will prevail marvelously... because you got to! -Red.
