Money

I have $0.97 in my bank account until Thursday. I've been stressing more than usual and I didn't understand why until Mum gave me a five dollar bill.

Why do we let money run our lives? Because it runs everything else. It has to.

That's all I've got to say for now.

Fate or Something Else?

I've been thinking about things that have been happening in my life lately. I really have to say that I'm more than happy about where I am at the moment. I have a job and, though it's not the best pay in the world, it's a temporary escape that provides the money to help me completely escape.

I'm further than I thought I'd be after secondary school. To be completely honest, I thought I'd be completely jobless and still doing more than fair around the house while Dad played World of Warcraft all day and Mum went to work.

But I'm not. In fact, because of this job, I'm not doing as much as I thought I would be doing around the house when I finally did get a job. That sentence is confusing, but whatever; read through it a couple times and you'll understand what I mean.

Also, I've been talking to a truly awesome guy that I met at the Girls With Slingshots meet-up back in February. He's pretty much awesome epic win sauce at life. In fact, he's laid back and really fucking smart and he's so funny. He makes me laugh on a constant basis, even during times where I don't feel too great (like when I applied for a job at the Ontario Science Centre to be a part of the Harry Potter Exhibit floor staff and didn't get called in for an interview. Also, Scott, if you're reading this, please don't tell me because I'll pretty much die over the fact that you read about me gushing about you).

This is where my thanks comes to so many people for contributing to my meeting Scott. Firstly, Danielle Corsetto. I honestly owe her a tipsy, bra-less hug, for (like I mentioned in a previous posting) she is the artist for the webcomic Girls With Slingshots. Had she never started drawing/scripting the aforementioned comic, Jeph Jacques (Questionable Content webcomic) wouldn't have mentioned her, therefore driving me to start reading GWS (and LOVING it) and going to the signings.

I suppose I should thank my mum, too, for she was the one who said I should go to the 2010 signing, even though I didn't have the money (she let me borrow some money for it). And I suppose I should thank her for telling me to go to Gabby's afterwards, since that was where Scott and I started talking (also because it was really awesome to sit and chat with Ms D for a few hours).

So, this poses the question that everyone asks when something like this happens: was it fate or was it something else?

What do you think?
