am wondering if I should finally cave and sell my manga? If I'd saved my money instead of spending it on said manga, I might not be in this quandry now.
Actually, I'd better. Because I just opened something that I thought was for me, to find that my dad (rather, me) owe's damn near $300.00 on a loan, even though I was sure these loans didn't star repayment until december.
Looks like I'd better put together a list of what I can sell...would anyone here be interested, or should I just start with ebay?

Slightly better than getting a random stranger to buy your stuff, and you might be able to get rid of a lot of stuff at one time if folks want chunks of your collection, rather than listing things more individually on ebay.

Date: 2003-11-04 10:20 pm (UTC)Let me tell you how many times I felt like a total DISEASE in the last year... mmm... I lost count. If I hadn't gotten into SOAS, God knows what I would be doing right now besides wanting to slit my wrists. And as for the $$$ situation, I really fucked up my bank account this summer, and I was totally unaware of how much money I had spent, which sucked mega-balls, let me tell you--because more than anything I was disappointed in myself and embarassed about it. SO NO WORRIES.
Life blows. Let's face it, but the fact of the matter is, is that you've got more than a lot of people have got and that's a sense of direction. You didn't leave Dickinson and go to work at Little Caesar's to "Find yourself" you went there so you could get a job, get some financial independence, and launch yourself into the next, glorious stage of your career.
I've been rejected from so many fucking things over the last four years that I swear I thought on many occasions that I was a stupid, worthless piece of shit. But, then something comes along that is sooo much better than what I thought I had originally wanted (Dickinson, Granada, SOAS, etc.)...
I have faith in you girl and I love you!!! Always know that I'm not here to preach at you and tell you what and how you should live your life, because that's not my j.o.b. Besides, I can't even get my own shit together, so I have no room to talk that's for sure!!!
Everything is going to work out just fine. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just going to take a little while to get there... if you want, bring your application to SOAS over here with all the information and we'll hand deliver it to the Registry. :)
You're gonna make it, woman!!! WE ALL ARE!!! :) I think a lot of it is growing pains... soon we're going to have a massive homecoming during which we will spend an entire week blotto. It will be gorgeous.

Thank you Allie, I love you too!!

Good luck at the library.
