Bad Month
This has not been a good month. Here's a list of the top-ten things that have gone wrong so far...
#10: My site (ffstories.com) went down for some reason, prompting a ton of ppl to e-mail me their goodbyes. I tried hard to let everyone know I was still around after spending hours revamping this (original) version of the site, but to no avail. Just today I received six more e-mails from people saying goodbye because they think I'm gone!
#9: My computer got infected with a virus. I actually think this happened last month, but this month it really hit hard. I was having trouble connecting to YiM, or Hello, or any online-based software. The computer kept freezing up. I was afraid I'd have to wipe my harddrive and reload everything...
#8: ...but then I called Ira. Ira is the guy who, for years, has helped me whenever I have computer problems! The only problem with Ira is that he expects... well, sex, frankly... in return for his help. Why? Because he always finds my porn when he's working on my computer, and he's not shy about telling me when he does. And when he sees all the porn I have he understandably thinks I'm some kind of 24-hour-go-go-slut. The first couple of times he made advances on me because of his "discoveries" I resisted, but about three years ago I learned that it's just easier to give in. This last time was just like the others, only I felt dirtier than usual after all was said and done. On the bright side, my computer is working fine now!
#7: My closest friend, Laura, found out about my "side-business". We were at a bar having a total blast when my prepaid cell phone rang while I was in the bathroom. Well, I thought she'd already left so I answered it (I was in the stall-- pants were up already, btw!). She heard me say something like, "Yes, 6pm tomorrow is good... yes, I have a few acts, we can go over them... no, only during the dances, otherwise I keep my thong on...". She, of course, grilled me later about what the call had been about, and I told her the truth. Now? Well, she said that night that she didn't think less of me, but... she just doesn't act the same toward me anymore right now, you know?
#6: Speaking of my side-business, I've pulled my ads for the time being. It's just gotten so slow lately that it's not worth the expense! I think I'll put them back up in January and see if things have picked up, but right now... well, my last party is this Saturday, and it's going to be the first I've had since late November. Hopefully it will cover the last few weeks of ad-charges, but who knows? Sigh...
#5: I think my car is breaking down. I know less about cars than I do about computers, even, and I've never had a car break down since I've never had a car until recently, so I'm terrfied. A gearhead friend of mine thinks it might be the transmission, which he says could cost up to $600 to fix. Ouch!!! He said he'll come over and take a look at it for me later in the week, though. Thankfully he's gay (yes, a gay gearhead, he's heard all the jokes, too!) so I doubt I'll have to pay him the way I pay Ira (besides, I don't keep porn in my car! :P ).
#4: For some stupid reason I thought I might be getting a promotion at my "real" job. I don't know why I let my heart get set on things like that... anyway, I found out just today that someone else got the bump.
#3: I had to have a physical for my job. I was supposed to have it when I started, but I never did-- but since the year is ending, they need to get everyone's paperwork in order over in HR and they noticed the lack of a physical. Anyway, I hate physicals. I hate doctors. They remind me of terrible things and I hate, HATE them. Sigh. Thankfully I'm in great health, apparently, but still.
#2: My psychiatrist is moving to Arizona. ARIZONA! I've been seeing her (on and off... mostly off the last year b/c of insurance reasons, but anyway) for years, and she just told me she's moving away. She's referring me a "trust colleage". If I didn't need my meds so much I wouldn't bother seeing anyone else... I still might not. I don't know.
#1: FFStories officially did go down. But you should already know all about that.
Not a good month. I hate this time of year. I hate that it's almost 2006. Where did the last twelve months go, guys?!?
