My mom works as a secretary in the guidance office at my high school. It was great, because she always knew how everything worked when I was applying for college.

My dad works as a self-employed contractor. He's amazing at it. He's trying to get out of that and start doing work as a photographer. He bought an amazing digital camera, and a whole bunch of lights and backdrops and stuff. He's getting calls from a lot of people to do weddings and stuff. He's amazing at that too. I should post the picture of me that he took. It's incredible.

My dad is a super-secret ninja spy,

and my mom's a homemaker.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

My dad never filed for disability while he was alive, which slowed down the process of my mom getting benefits after he died, even though she filed for them probably within a month of his death. It was ridiculously slow, especially considering it's supposed to "make up" for them killing my father.

Ugh, 4 months is too long.

We never even thought it might've been the agent orange that caused my dad's cancer til after he died. We just blamed it on his smoking until then... I think someone must've mentioned the agent orange thing to my mom or something.

my mom told me this morning that if and or when she finds a full time job, shes also going to get a part time job, and so is my stepdad who is also full time employed. She said "We're in deep shit..."

:crying: this is loooooooovely lol

If MCAD doesn't accept me I am moving out and eating ramen forever until i get a real job and finish school. I just feel like such a burden on them, i mean my stepdad isnt even MY DAD and hes paying for my insurance and medical things and my food and all this and hes such a good person but i just feel bad...

How can I afford 400/month rent and go to school full time and find a job that'll pay good enough for that?

This stinks.

I could work at the post office but id have to cut my hair and take out my eyebrow piercing i think. but it would be 12 dollars an hour......

even if i had to wake up at 3:30 am every day :freak: i could still go to school cuz the shift is over at like 10 am or something like that

*breathes*

My Daddy works for the met office ... I'm not sure what the US or Canadian equivalent's called, but it's the people who do weather forecasts and stuff like that ... anyway, they have an aeroplane that flies to places and takes weather related measurements and he's in charge of all the equipment that goes on the plane.

My Mummy worked for the met office too, but I don't really know what she did. Maybe something to do with computers given that she always used to bring home bunch cards and that green stripy conputer paper with the holes down the side for us to draw on and make things with.

My Step-Mother used to be a social worker, but she took early retirement before she met my Daddy. Now she does lots of gardening and housewifey stuff. She used to be a volunteer guide at a Stately Home too, before they moved to a different part of the country.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

:sadyes: It's horrible horrible stuff.

But (and I'm not sure if this is what you were implying, but it seems that way) it's very VERY likely that it was the cause of my dad's cancer. He was stationed in the most agent orange saturated area of Vietnam.

What's agent orange?

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever
