Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So for the past few days I haven't been eating because I can't open my mouth. Well, I'm still not eating what I should be but I am at least eating more than I was, so I'm not completely the irritable invalid kid any more.

Some random prestory insert here!

I am normally a penny pincher irl, but when I get emo/lonely/sad recently I've begun to be like 'Ohay let me order something random online."

Well, in the last 2 months I've ordered:

- art
- cyber goggles with metal inserts
- a realistic werewolf costume
- a book
- about 50 sew on patches
- 2 card games
- gaia cash on more than one occasion
- probably some other stuff I forgot about

I now have a whopping $30 in my checking account. Go me! rolleyes

Now, while I have no bills currently, I also have no income. So this is going to suck for me.

Anyway, the other day my werewolf costume came in. I'll probably never wear it but I bought it anyway knowing full well I probably would never wear it. It is NOT AS COOL AS THE PICTURE. D<
Oh well, I should've known 30 bucks was too good to be true. talk2hand

The image was way realistic. The only real difference I guess is in the construction of the snort itself (not floppy) and the hairs around the collar are long and straight instead of short and curly.
I'd get a picture but I'm too lazy currently.

The costume in the picture would look awesome day or not. The costume I got will probably look awesome in low light, but in day or good lighting it would never pass off as decent. At least not to me. ._.

Regardless I just stuffed the mask full of crumpled newspaper so it wouldn't be so floppy and went about my merry way.

I'm waiting for the cyber goggles to come in though. D<
I've wanted them since 2 years a go, and I only finally found them online because someone else knew what I was talking about when I mentioned where I saw them. I ordered them at the end of september. They should ******** be here by now. D<<<

My brother's bday gift was given to me yesterday. It's a variety pack of samuel adams. It's got dark ale, scotch, etc., etc.

While this is cool and all... I hate hopps. All beer has hopps in it. sad
I mean, I'm going to try them all anyway, but I'm sad because well. I don't think I'll like any of it. Isn't sam adams the one that puts EXTRA hopps in their beer? Aughdkjfgsdkjfb

I'm still sleeping all the time but my rubberbands have stretched I guess so NOW I CAN EAT BY MYSELF KIND OF YAY. Still difficult though. This thursday I'll go again to get them changed. I hope he doesn't make them tighter. D<

I've been having a hard time with the left side of my face. It always hurts. I think my stitches are coming loose there too early. Every time I smile I am greeted by pain because there's a stitch there. I've laughed so many times that I think my mouth just tore open ow. D:

Aside from that, I am now a gaian millionaire!
Last october, I filled out a scam report. I was attempting to buy an angelic scarf with a bunch of items (5 trades total) and after the 2nd trade the guy gave me the cold shoulder. I waited a while but I eventually filled out a report detailing everything, and then every few months I'd pester an omnimod about it. They would always say "Well it's being looked at and I don't have a timeframe" or "In a few weeks, we just got a new system so things should be speedier."

Well eventually I got tired of all the malarky so I stopped bothering people about it. Then yesterday I was reading something, I forget what, and it reminded me of my scam report which is now over a year old. Now, I'd saved every PM ever that I had with the guy who scammed me, and I also PMed myself the report I sent as well as the date I sent it with the report number. Well, I looked in my savebox and...

ALL GONE. THEY WERE ALL GONE.

I just about freaked out, but I contacted an omnimod anyway and was like "Yeah so I filled out this scam report last october and I kind of lost all the PMs but I was wondering if
- this is still being looked into
- if me losing the PMs is utter fail and I don't get my items
- wtf is going on"

I was strung along for a few hours.
"You used imageshack for pictures and all of the links are dead now"
dskjfgsdkjfg IF YOU DIDN'T TAKE SO LONG TO ******** LOOK AT IT SKJFKJF

"You don't have the PMs any more and we don't normally go on screenshots..."
dskjfghdskfgsdjfg

"well, I think I can do this anyway because of the way you labeled the trades, and the guy's activity is suspicious...."

Several hours later I have my items back.

Items that I have not had for over a year. Most noteable item is an august 2004, but I had bunches of other amazing items in there (I was buying an angelic scarf after all). All of them I thoguht I probably wasn't going to get back since it'd bee a year, so now that I have them, I've promply sold off most of them.

I had about 6 katana letters. The letters themselves are worth less than katanas right now so I opened up nearly all of them and sold them all and now I'm at 2.3mill.

I'm trying to sell off most of the stuff that came back, along with the letter hoarde I didn't get rid of, before the gaia economy levels out. I mean. I know I should've done this a longass time a go but I guess I was too lazy. Anyway, the more gold I have when the prices finally even out and/or hit rock bottom, the richer I will be. This is the rare case when pure is better than liquid assets I think. And while I may retain some loses from liquidating everything in a time when everyone else is liquidating everything, I can live with that, because frankly my inventory is too big anyway.

But I've never had more than a mill before, and I'm still selling stuff (I have multiples of a ton of letters. I'm selling off most so I only have 1 or 2 of each letter. And only if they're deflating. There's one or two letters that are actually inflating right now; those I'm not selling). So YAY IS ME.
Not because I'm rich, not because I'm an infindecimally smaller step toward DJs, no--
Because now I can buy ******** more art without worrying about how long I have to wait in between arts before I have enough money to buy more art.

WOW I'M AN ARTWHORE LOL.

Aside from that, I'm drooling way more and coughing a lot more. For some reason whenever I reach the end of a boost(protein shake) I gag. Wtf.

OH!
OH AND DID I TELL YOU?!
all my syringes broke!

I can only drink through a syringe, and I started out with 4 but gradually they all broke until the last one finally broke about 2 days a go. I couldn't drink anything for a full day and I was all gonk gonk gonk

Nobody sells syringes! We have to go beg for a free one at the pharmacy. I'm sure my parents look like drug addicts to them now. xD

Anyway I just got a new syringe but if this one breaks too I have no idea wtf I'm going to do.

Oh, and I really hope drunken finished that art soon. I'm getting worried. Maybe I should PM him. Or not. ******** I dunno anymore.
