Barmymoo:
Don't worry, I woke up convinced it was Friday and almost went to the wrong lecture. It should definitely be at least Wednesday.

Welu:
Yesterday I woke up thinking it was Sunday and felt so smug when I thought my partner was going to work and I could stay in bed for a while. Got as far as sleepily telling him to have a good day.

Thrillho:
Today, I woke up at 9am.

For those keeping track, I start work at 8.30am.

Welu:
An artist friend posted a sketch on Facebook and they're usually great with everything but there's a glaring anatomy problem and it's causing me pain not pointing it out but I'd feel really rude. It might just be an elaborate doodle that'll never get farther but if they post WIPs I may have to bring it to attention.

In other sentences: My partner and I presented our film outline and got two big reactions, "ALREADY!?" (got the assignment last week) and "Why are teenagers so violent?" Wanted to point out we're not teenagers but that may have made it worse. I defended the script by telling him no violence is ever seen, it's only heavily implied.  :-D Also there's no dialogue, will use three locations max and has two actors who are already confirmed so in terms of resources it's probably the best student film ever.
Seriously though, there's less violence in it than Psycho. I just want to film something super cereal for once.

I'm so pissed at my friend.

She's offered to help me out before with money - and then when I said yes, I'd like her help, she squirmed out of it and I ended up homeless.

She's got a job, she's gone to college, she's had everything she's ever wanted handed to her - she comes from an upper-middle class family and I *know* she has the ability to help me, twenty times over what I'm asking.

She was offering to give me $250 so I could take my truck up to Vermont and visit her. Well, that was stressing me out because that wouldn't really cover the trip and trying to figure out how I'd make a trip like that was putting way too much stress on me, so I cancelled it and told her what I really needed was...y'know, $250. She said she'd get it to me.

A week later, she told me she couldn't get it to me within the next few paychecks, and is that okay? Well, no, that's *not* okay because I'm fucking desperate and broke now. I'm having to pay to replace my lost wallet and everything in it - I have to pay for the heat here, for my own food, and no, waiting a  month or two or however long it is isn't really going to help me. She said okay, she'd just take it out of savings.

Well, she came on last night (this was all a few weeks ago, mind) we talked for a bit, and then I told her that I kind of need help *now* so I can buy some heating fuel and if she was still going to help me? And she told me no, because she felt unappreciated and resentful of me.

This is the person who I pushed into standing up to her parents, that I pushed into moving out onto her own, that I pushed through transitioning, that I pushed through her name change. She's thanked me for everything I've done for her every time we talk, and told me that I've done *so* much for her and she wants to pay me back for everything, and now she fucking resents me?

I'm so fucking pissed off at her. Fuck rich kids. Every time I've needed help, it's not been the people who have money, not the kids with college education and $40/hour jobs that have helped me, but the ones who are homeless, the ones who are broke as broke can be, the ones who are squatting and dumpstering and stealing to survive.

I'm fucking tired of rich kids and their fucking selfish, privileged bullshit.
