My food stamp card hasn't rolled over yet. Something's wrong. It rolls over every month to $200, but since November or December it hasn't and I only have $14 on it.
*emails the caseworker, who has all but said "good riddance" to him because of the impending inheritance*
In other news, the muse seems to be... between being on the verge of going batshit, and dead asleep. I don't know. One person whom I approached for some artwork has gone quiet, and I have to wait for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) venkmanblues's comp to be fixed on monday before -that- artwork gets colored and scanned in...
And now, I have a small something to edit before I hop into SL, then go back into WoW later and beat some faces in.

Seriously, lady, get that hole between your legs stitched shut. Or preferably sealed with a blowtorch. You don't NEED that many kids.
In other news, they really should have an achievement for capturing all four Spirit Beasts in World of Warcraft. I was flying through an area looking for the last one, not expecting to find it at 5 in the morning, and lo and behold, my "add on" program finds him, and now "I Can Haz Thunder Puppy!"
Caught 3 of them in... 4 days.
Probably going to delete my low level character and turn the guild I own on her into something else. Possibly a PvP Hunter group (10 hunters AND their pets in a 10-man arena? I can see it...)
venkmanblues, you done coloring the rest of that artwork yet? Heh. :)

Not much going on.
I have a lot of chores to do. Pay a bill, do a recycling run (SIX bags), do a grocery run / Dew run, do laundry, bitch at my father for the month's rent.
But not while it's being this dreary out. Lots and lots of cold fast rain.
Tamed two very rare "spirit beasts" in as many days in WoW, so I'm in a better than normal mood.
Other than that, nothing going on, really...
So yeah, I'm still here.

I'm a little bit nervous. When I went down to get a pizza at the door, there was a official notice from the City for my landlord. I had to run back up with the pizza so it wouldn't freeze, but would get it for him when I came back down.
It wasn't a notice of eviction (I don't THINK), but when I went back down to get the mail, someone else had looted the notice (I think the downstairs family did, and NO one wants to deal with them; they'd just lie anyway if I asked if they did, I'm sure). I do know that the City has been giving him absolute shit over the apartment though, I think he pissed off someone he shouldn't have.
It didn't have my name on it, so I guess I'm fine. I hope. I have a BAD feeling about this.
In other news, my muse has been tugging at the back of my head, so I asked a couple of artists to draw a fantasy adventuring party I could write a story around. And this is the first of two pictures I'm going to be getting.
Not bad, eh? Affordable, too. Only cost me $20. You can find her artwork at http://forrest-dreams.deviantart.com/ and she goes by the screen name Silverfox Rainbow on Second Life. :)

Lesee.
Turned 33 on Wednesday. Whoop-de-shit. (thanks, those of you who did wish me one, I sat on my ass doing nothing, as usual. I don't feel like 1/3 of my allotted lifespan has passed, though, proving age is just a number and I am a man-child).
Got a call from lowen_kind, but I wasn't in the mood to talk much. (Note: LK, if you build it, HIRE ME. I need a REAL job. If you want me to look in on the situation with the cards, lemme know).
Looks like I'm getting my inheritance at the end of next month. Let's see how Murphy and his godforsaken Law get in the way...
Work on a little IRC project stalls but I write one or two things for it every day... almost...
Commissioned two people for artwork... it will be interesting to see how it goes down...

Looks like I'll be getting the inheritance after my aunt gets back in febuary. After that runs out it looks like I have to start reapplying for all the medicaid crap. Already, thanks to my father's meddling, she's dropped me like a hot potato.
Did a good deed for someone in WoW, they panicked and I haven't seen them again (gave a fresh player 15 gold... are people THAT paranoid?). Offered to pay a raid a high amount of gold for an achievement in a battleground, and was laughed right out of the "Trade" channel.
Work on an old project has stagnated. It'll be finished, eventually. Sigh.

Wow. A week.
Meh, nothing to post. Didn't do anything for Christmas since bad weather frightened the "old farts" of the family into not driving... haven't been doing much of anything at all except hanging out in SL and WoW (and even there not doing much). Didn't do anything for New Year's except cruise WoW looking for rare spawn.
But yeah. 2 years before the end of the world and all that.

Wow, apparently my aunt isn't going down to my father's for christmas --- the weather is turning to crap and she isn't the driver she once was. And since my brother is probably already on his way down there and I'm in the opposite direction, I get to avoid them all for this year.
Meh. I'll get my father to do a conference call with my aunt sometime soon about the inheritance (which is how I want it to go down, anyway). The only downside to all this is no christmas money, probably... since anything he'd give to my brother, my brother'd probably keep it for himself. I know I would.

Damn it... I TOLD my brother to call and warn me if he was coming. Now my mind and any desire to do ANYTHING is going to be shot to hell until he goes the hell away. And he's decided he's not leaving the area until monday or tuesday.
Apparently he has to go up to Rochester. Ironically enough, that's where I was born, so it makes me wonder if he's up to something since I'm a paranoid little shit. Add to that the fact my aunt has been politic'd into going to my father's for christmas (which she'd absolutely never do UNLESS she'd been strongarmed) and I'm wondering if something's REALLY up.
For now, I'm just staying out of everyone's way. I'm trying to avoid going to my father's for any reason ("Asthma? Fale psychosomatic bullshit IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU." is the big one, in my opinion)... I'll be glad when everything's over and done with this year.

Aside from getting only three hours of sleep... (WARZY! You got your insomnia all over me! That shit stains, yo) I go to order my birth certificate online since I need it for various things with my caseworker for medicaid and the like. Note that I did not overnight this.
Standard fee: $36.
Shipping fee: $17.50
17.50?! What am I doing, buying the next expansion of World of Warcraft?
They always get'cha somewhere...
Speaking of World of Warcraft, I have to write up long post to someone with tactical expertise (at least, I think Shock has some) about how best to attack a siege location... wyldside knows exactly what I'm talking about. Heh.
Oh, and I'm bringing back IRC battling, too. That's what's kept me up at night, doing all the scripting. Some of these script chunks would be of use to hcuz or postal_dude, I'm sure, though neither of them read this LJ anymore :P

I meant to go to the bank, cash a check, do a few other things today like send out rent, but A) I just woke up and B) everything closes at around 4:30 (the post office, bank, etc) and I'd never make it in time.
Fortunately tomorrow around 1 PM I have the computer set to play Drop Out to wake me up so I can Get Some Shit Done... pay rent, pay a bill, get birth certificate...
So the "gift" my father sent me with the rent check was a $100 savings bond or some kind of thing that was issued in March of 1977. "It's worth $550 now if you take it to the bank." I'm REALLY hoping he thinks it's worth a lot less than it really is and I come out with unexpected cash.

Black Friday. Whoop-de-boogers.
My father's "gift"? $550 in a savings bond. Which makes me wonder if that's the inheritance that's LEFT (it would not be out of people's league to try and pull crap like that)

My brother showed up against all odds, which threw my game off. Fortunately I should be out of this funk by the end of the upcoming week.

So I send my father an email about needing rent again and he replies "Check is in the mail, plus a gift."
So why do I have a mega-bad feeling about it, and that something is about to blow up in my face? I saw the word "gift" and my gut tightened big time as if danger was fast approaching.
And damn it, I wanted to call Rochester about my birth certificate so I could continue on the road to nowhere medicaid and the like. They close at 4 and I just got up. Serves me right for crashing at 6 AM. Oh well, there's always a website I was referred to...

What a bunch of fucking morons.
They're getting rid of the Mentors --- those unpaid volunteers who sacrificed their time, energy, and money to make good avatars for people to see --- in favor of some company buying out the "starting areas" and taking control of the newbie's first experiences. Dec 11th is the last day for the official mentor groups.
I don't know how many times I've had people come to me when I had my tag on because some deformed avatar wouldn't stop sex-pestering, or needed advice and we were "official", so it was nice to have someone to turn to. Even through the morons who tried to make fake official groups, or people saying "don't listen to mentors, they're fake, listen to me and me only" or something...
I worked -hard- to get into the groups before they closed because I wanted to be an official voice, an "official" helper rather than some no-name who might or might not know what the hell I was talking about.
Now, while I could still "unofficially help"... it won't be the same and it will be harder to get people to trust what I say or the goodies and freebies I hand out.
Way to go, LL... sacrifice the quality (and effort over the past few years) of hundreds of people if not more... sacrifice that quality for a temporary-at-best padding of the pockets with little strips of paper blessed by the government to have worth or something.
Morons. I won't leave yet, but it's mighty tempting. That's all I do these days there anyway. 80% of my time was spent Mentoring.

Landlord thinks he can tell me how to set up or use my computer. He thinks it's dangerous and covered it with electrical tape until he was satisfied.
I told him not to. He basically said fuck you. After the next "surprise inspection" (read: reaming by the city because they do NOT like him and they don't even try to hide it) I'm getting rid of all the tape.
See, I have a plastic wall see-through tower thing and the plastic wall unscrews. I left it unscrewed and resting against the tower. He's all "it might cause a fire or something." Anything to have an excuse to look at it more because he's never seen a computer tower that was see-through. Guy's an utter moron.

It's really just lather rinse repeat of boredom these days. I'm still around. Been a bit lazy or I'd take screenshots of WoW for shadow_mage (I might do that later today when their maitenence is done) or something.
My brother showed up out of the blue. Dropped my mood a bit but I never really got the thought that this wasn't "his" apartment out of my head, so it doesn't really matter. Took a few more steps in trying to get Medicaid (denied, we have to start from scratch)... rebuilt my lair in SL to a new dragon cave, expanded it to 10 parcels for 4 months (and moved it back to the Cape since the person who bought my spot abandoned it)...
My friend's WoW account was hacked, it looks like, which pisses me off because he'd worked long and hard at it... I myself moved all the "guild materials" of my own guild in WoW (the Rainbow Chromatics) into a guild I joined for raiding purposes (the Dynasty guild)... almost 1200 gold at least worth of gold and materials.
Note to self: Next time take notes for pawpet when atkelar is out doing other things...
Saw someone in another forum I read "draws nude people in chains all the time"... seeing their example, I have an idea for a commission for the hell of it, but I doubt he has time and I doubt I could afford it. Heh.

What the HELL is it with my family?
Rent is (or was) 575.
My father sends me 500 a month to help cover it and I eat the 75. I don't have a problem with this.
I decide, hey, I can afford it, let's do what I do with other bills, and add a little. I know I don't get "credit" for it like other bills, but I don't have a problem with this either. So I've been paying 600 a month since I've been here. And now that's what's on the lease I recently signed. Finally.
So yeah. My brother calls to talk for a while and goes all sorts of crazy, going off about how that's 300 a year, etc etc etc.
I basically told my brother, "Fuck you, you're wrong." I hope he doesn't decide to call the landlord demanding the extra 25 bucks for himself; he'll be laughed all the way back to Boston. And he'll try it too. *sighs*
So I'm fully expecting him or my father to meddle and inconvienece me as some kind of "punishment". My brother has all my personal info, he certainly could.
EDIT 30 minutes later: "Don't make a fool of me or I'll work against you." ................. I don't know what to think. I think 600 is fair. My brother called the landlord and got $50 taken off the rent (which I will hand him personally Friday). Hopefully my father can clear this up with the email I sent off to him. If he even bothers to listen.
Yeah, happy halloween indeed. *grumbles*

Electric bill paid while munching on McDisease's. Sometime this week I have to go in and get my bank card re-issued, as it expires "11/09" --- I am NOT going to like going through that, because a couple of things are charged monthly to it (like my WoW subscription) and I'd hate to be two weeks or more without WoW while I wait for a new card.
The freaks are starting to come out for my tarot site, I had one person contact me 3 times in a row in 15 minutes who kept going "I already talked to you? Damn..." *hang up*
Working on a third bag of cans for recycling. I'll be able to buy myself a sub and soda at this rate :P
shadow_mage said she wanted more WoW posts, so maybe I'll take a few screenshots of places around the game world and post 'em. Speaking of which, I should probably make a somewhat-of-a-joke web page for my "guild" in there...
No word at ALL about my inheritance. No one is giving up any information, but fall will come and go by the end of november, and then I am going to get nasty about it, since they did say it "matures in the fall." They can only buy themselves so much time before I lose all patience (as Shock well knows, since I keep telling him I'll contact him about looking stuff up and never do).
I also now have a shoutcast server. I may do a Lizard Rat Radio session if I get enough interest.

In other news, I "led" a raid in World of Warcraft this evening. We didn't have the damage-per-second nor the heals to hold onto it though, and the phrase "the heroes were lovin' them some tail" was never truer (only one person will get that reference).
Yeah. Lots of tail. Too MUCH tail. :P It went well otherwise though and they said with a little work I could be a natural leader (*blinkblink*), even if after three failed runs we called it.
Off to nuke more pizzas.

dagdabor's LJ is all Russian and the only post I see looks like an ad. With only a day old journal and 870 people on his friends list... yeah.
EDIT: The hell? This is the first time ever I've seen no results for a widely used service. Apparently the LJ community is not interested in Bitwine. At all. O.o Pisses me off, too, because I can't complete installation of it without someone's help, Skype's tech support is utter shit, and Bitwine says all is fine on their end.

This is not fucking good.
For the past 15 days. I have had two tarot calls a day.
Not a SINGLE ONE was a paying one.
NO ONE wants to enter billing info anymore. I tell them nothing can be started without billing info and it's either a whiner looking for a handout freebie, an "I don't have a credit card" (common with people outside the US in third world countries) or someone thinking it's all about the money (you know what I meant).
I don't want to not take home money for the month of october. And you'd think october would be worth the MOST because of Halloween.
Last night alone I got quite a few "Look, you're going to read me for free, or else!" whiners. ARGH.
Oh, shit. I have a bill to pay. *runs off* -.-
Also, Obama winning the Peace Prize? Yeah, sure, whatever, it's as meaningless as he is.

Just got an email saying I have to be "evaluated" by various doctors next week for SSI and food stamps and the like. I do not like this idea at all, because I figure they'll try to push medication on me (no, Shock, they -don't- care and WILL try) afterward.
Already one person is saying "you must have antidepressants, and this, and that, and this other thing here... must must must must must" and it's pissing me off because my father will buy into any bullshit he hears if it's from an "established trustworthy source" in his mind. If something is trustworthy to him, even if he's skinned alive by them later he will still think them trustworthy.
So yeah, wind out of my sails and all.
As if that weren't enough, something's triggering a transformer or something to keep flipping the power to my block off. A crew is on the scene left scratching their balls and heads in confusion as they flip a switch back into place, only for it to go FZZZZT and flip BACK into the off position.
This next tuesday is going to be Interesting Times for sure and I'd rather not live in them.

I get paid next week. $500 approximately. Bleah, I'm losing money fast ($15-20 a day or two for food around here is Not Fun). My father says if I really pester him he'll sign over the inheritance money, but I STILL don't know when the CD matures. No one's telling me anything. x.x And I am just so reluctant to ask my friend to take a look for me if he could, despite me telling him I'll get back to him repeatedly.
Made a couple of steps in the direction of getting food stamps and various government aids. I think by the time I'm done with all this crap I'll definately have an unhealthy dose of "Government AIDS". But it's needed, so I'm not going to fight it. Well, not much, anyway. My immediate reaction is to go kicking and screaming at anything that seems too easy, here.
Bad Spam Theatre coming tomorrow. It's a good one, as they had 1/8th of an old mail at the top of a new one. Heh.
lowen_kind, any news on Maggie? I have a hunch but I'm not going to say it here.
pepemapache, what did the title of your post mean? Or was it just a hearty "Oh, SCREW THIS"? Heh.
I think I'll do a Lizard Rat Radio tomorrow, assuming the stream is still up since I haven't used it in a while. We'll see.

Geez, I'm getting lax. The hell?
Let's see. I'm losing more than I'm making, money-wise...
The aide worker who was helping me get social security and various other aid programs has vanished into thin air, mostly because my father never paid her even though he says he did (I don't buy it for a second), so I'm losing money FAST and will probably lose the apartment before christmas, further forcing my brother to take me back at his place in Boston...
The order number for today's McDisease's was 666... yeah, like that's not an omen...
Just a wonderful way to start the week. :/

I never watched it, never even realized what was going on... haven;'t watched any youtubes of it or anything...
I was tempted to comment in another LJ to say go on a national show as damage control. Namely, Stupid Human Tricks with Letterman (does he even do that segment anymore?) with a Subservient segment a la the pawpets. Show the world we're really just a bunch of silly furballs that like to socialize just as much as the rest of us.
You just know there's going to be an ED article about it, though.
So I'll just sit back and watch the fallout for now. We got shit on as a fandom, but if it's one thing I've seen, it's how we rally back from strikes like this. This oughta give 2 enough material to last well into the next century, for instance.
Anyone made the obligatory "She should be GoH of AC next year!" joke yet?

First, I take a $250 hit from my last tarot check (and that was barely clearing 400). This means until further notice I can spend money on nothing but food as I need it.
Now, my phone went kaput. The receiver is old; it's from the... 60s? 70s? Switching the cord out didn't fix the problem; I just need a new phone.
I CANNOT afford not to have a working phone, so I have to go to the -nearest- electronics store (the mall, an hour away one way) and eat the $20-$25 they have as their cheapest phones (mention anything cheaper and I guarantee you'll be attacked; no such thing as cheap *anything* in NY).
*sighs* Bad things always happen in threes... what next?
EDIT: Never ask that question. While it was only $12, I dropped the damn thing twice due to my butterfingers. I hope it works when someone calls me later...

I had a Bad Spam Theatre ready since I haven't posted in a week.
Instead, I open my email to find my tarot site account fined $250 for giving out "personal info" (email, livejournal address).
It's always been my opinion that the more ways you have of contacting someone for something like this, the better. So if you're offline for an extended period, you can go to a library computer, do the reading in an email, and be paid directly through paypal.
Of course, directly through that, the tarot site I work on wouldn't get its 48% cut. So they ARE protecting themselves.
But. It's a hit already deducted, so there's not much I can do.
I'll have a Bad Spam Theatre on Thursday.

I got a letter here from some attorneys-at-law in the mail this morning and it doesn't feel like an advertisement.
My guess? Either someone got bent out of shape over a tarot reading I did and took it too far, or my folks are pulling some real stupid shit on me.
Oh well, at least the rent is paid.
I'm not opening it yet. Going to sit on it until wednesday. Maybe I can do another Lizard Rat Radio and open it on the air in front of like 20 listeners or something.
In other news, I'm waiting for Disney to buy out Microsoft, since they seem to be buying everything else, too. Marvel? Eh, I'm no fan, so... but still.

Lizard Rat Radio is on the air!
*However*, I see Console in channel and it looks like there is going to be a rerun of FPS gone by. So I'll run it for a little while and see channel reaction. If I don't have enough interest to warrant keeping it going, I'll just kill the stream early.
So, point your Winamp or whatever it is you use to listen to music to the following URL:
Http://nakedcritters.com:9752
Yeah, yeah. I know the url seems corny. But it is what it is, so point it there, listen to me talk, have music... I'm probably not going to watch a rerun, so I'm not going to have Yappy's stream up at the same time to MST3K or whatnot (not like we don't do that anyway).
Anyway. I'm on the air. Let's see how much interest I get.

We are Go For Launch, thanks to my friend helping me bang out a few things to get it right.
I will post the server address an hour before showtime tomorrow, and start streaming beginning at 4:30 Eastern time (which is when RTR would start; i'll kick things off with his theme, which I have). Then I'll idle chit-chat with anyone listening on the stream (according to Akea, I have a four second delay) before kicking things off at 5 with the full 5 minute version of 2's Pawpet Song and we'll be off and running.
I did intend to talk a LOT more than play music, since that's the format I'd like to do, but I figure you'd get bored of me just babbling endlessly. There WILL be music, and lots of it :)
See you in ... 17 hours :)
