Well, if things go bad on Valentines Day, they always seem to look up by the time St. Patricks Day comes around. We had hit rock bottom, so we could only go up from there, and someone just threw us a rope!! whee
My mom called me yesterday to find out if there had been a call for her. There had been, and I told her who it was. Turns out it was the Verizon company in our area, and they had seen her resume on the internet. She'd submitted it on Thursday, and got a call of Friday. Talk about luck!
And what was even better was she had a phone interview with a lady from there, and is going for an interview/test thing on Tuesday!
*wants to go around kissing all of the Irish people* heart mrgreen heart
This is very good for us. If she gets this job, she can get benifits right away and a higher income!
We still need to find a place to live, and it's possible that in little over a year, we'll be moving out of state, but that's fine, I've still got some time. 3nodding
Anyways, in other news....I got my computer working and my web cam, so...I've been camwhoring like crazy!! Here's a shot of me, I just got my hair cut, so I'll give you a before and after. ^ ^
Before:
And After:
I love that hat. ^ ^ Lol.
Feeling much better than before,
Peace, Love, and Happiness,

Alright. Here's an update on what's been happening so far...
We are definatly moving, probably to the next town over or something, for now. But in perhaps little over a year, we might be moving to Virgina, or Pennsylvania....I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.....
My mom has a job now, which is very good. Not only is she feeling much better, but it keeps her busy, and we have a slight income. It's only a temp job right now, only $10 an hour...but it's better than nothing at the moment.
I have an interview for a part-time job in town at a clothing store. while it might mean I won't be able to go on Gaia that much anymore, it's really important, simply because I can help pay for things and support myself so Mum won't have to.
We've started cleaning things out for moving day. I got rid of a lot of crap that I had, but there's still a lot to do. I'm slowly packing everything away.
My brother should be coming home this Friday for his vacation from school, and he'll be doing a lot around the house to get it ready for sale. I'll probably be helping him in my free time, so I don't know how often I'll be able to get on Gaia...hopefully I can make time for it.
Still hoping to whoever that things work out for us...
Peace, Love, and Happiness....

Just when you think things can't get worse.... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...that's when you get shoved down deep into that pile of s**t called 'The Reality of Life'.....
It's only now I've come to see just how real life it, how brutal it is....and how hard. How I long to be trapped again within that blissfully ignorant period when nothing could go wrong, and my path was clear.
Everything bad seems to happen on or around Valentine's Day. My grandmother passes away two years ago on the 13th (a Friday none the less) and now....I was told last night that my mom had lost her job.
If you've been keeping track of my latest journal entries, you can see how bad that is. But its still much worse than that...
Apparently she was taking money from the company to pay bills and stuff, so that we could keep the house. She got caught. I don't look at her badly, I don't judge her for it. To me, she's a good person who did a bad thing for the right reasons....
She's so depressed right now, it's not even funny. She just wants to curl up into bed and go to sleep, never to wake up. She breaks down and cries so easily. I'm actually surprised I haven't lost it yet...I guess it's just the shock still hitting me...
Now, I have no idea what's going to happen. We're going to have to sell the house, no matter what and move. But there is a distinct possibility we'd be moving out of state....to Virgina.
It's cheaper there, folks are friendly, it's warmer and Mom might be able to find a good job. It's a very artistic state, so I'd probably be able to transfer to a college there and keep going to school. I'd be all for it, if it wasn't for a few things.
I've been in Connecticut all my life. I've got close friends and a loving boyfriend here. I'm scared to leave, but if we have to leave Connecticut, then I will go along.
Our family hasn't been so down in my memory. We've only can go up from here. Maybe we'll have just a smidgen of luck....

Well folks. It's official. I'm going to have to move.
The house is too expensive for Mum to afford. She's afraid she might lose her job. She's calling upon my brother and Grandfather to help us out finacially, she even asked me to take out a student loan to help pay for things. And this is just scratching the surface.
I need to get a job again, and fast.
I'm just praying to whoever I can that things will work out somehow.....
Hope for Us....

Sigh...time to get some ranting off of my chest and onto the boards. I'm not even going to bother with what was going on with school and work for the past few months, that is for another entry....
This though, is a bit more pressing and important to me.
For a bit of a background story, my mom lived on the island of Guam for about four years of her life, when she was about 6 or so. Guam is about 15 miles north of the equator, so it was a lot of powerful, direct sunlight.
Now to the present, she has what is called a basil cell on her upper lip. It kinda looks like a really bad black head, but it's much worse than that. A basil cell is basically a tumor on the surface of your skin.
In other words, it's a cancerous cell.
She had one on her nose 13 years ago or so, so she must be doing something right if it took that long for another to show up. But this one isn't going to be as easy as her first one. This one is a spreader.
Basically it's like an iceberg. There's more beneath the surface than you can see above. So to have it removed, she has to go in for plastic surgery and have an area from her left side of her upper lip down to beyound the corner of her mouth on her right side cut open, with a definate scar left behind.
It's a scary thing, hearing your mom tell you that she basically has skin cancer. Now I can fully understand how Deity felt. But she's handling it pretty well, going on with a lot of dark humor and everything. But it scared her when she first heard about it. We're not even telling her mother, my Nana. She'd just freak out and fuss about it like no body's buisness.
And then my mom goes and hits me with more heavy news last night.
Come to find out we're in a finacial bind. Mom was in debt managment after she lost her job a few years back, and she almost had everything payed off. But I guess with tasex and everything, it's put a real strain on her budget. To the point where she brought it up that we may have to move to a cheaper area.
We'd still be in Connecticut, in this general area since I'm still going to school, but the thought of moving scares me. I've lived in this house my entire life, I've got friends everywhere around me, and my boyfriend nearby too. My brother has a firepit in hte backyard for parties, and my Nana has tea everyday with the next door neighbors.
I don't wanna move. It's the last thing I want to go through. I just hope it doesn't come down to that. The best way I can help her out is to get a job, but it's really hard with my school schedule. But I've got to do something....
And so ends RantFest '06....for now. Until I start up with school and work....
Trying to keep things together,
~The Jade One

I must say, I am rather satisfied with myself for once. 3nodding I am doing fairly well in school (which is a must at the moment sweatdrop Didn't do to hot last year), I am still working third shift, a bit difficult, but a job is a job. Plus I hardly do anything while there for eight hours besides clean and listen to music and ring out random customers. And I'm also on Gaia more often now, which is very good, because I can see all of my old friends again. ^ ^
*huggles all of you* I've missed you so much. 4laugh
Hmm...I've also been seeing a lot of those friendslist speil thingies....perhaps I'll do one someday soon. I'd like that. ^ ^
Anyways, that's about it for this update, not very much to tell.
Peace, Love, and Mucho Happiness,
~The Jade One heart

Sigh, school is an evil, evil thing. Not only does it make life outside of the computer harder (especially with working), but it also affects my time to get on here with you all. THough I must say, skipping class and going to the computer lab for a few hours is always very tempting. But I cannot (at least not very often) for I must be able to pass my classes this semester....of be in deep s**t with my mom....> >;; Scary.
You don't want to see her mad. She's like an angry grizzly bear. sweatdrop

THis will never end. Aura woke up, just when I was going to fight Carl. He now stands in my way, and refuses to let me by. He won't even back down to Carl right now, and that's a scary thing. So it looks like he and Carl are going to duke it out over who gets to fight me.
Sheesh...by the time this gets worked out, I'll be normal again. Because right now, Unks is in my mind, trying to help get Dark Jade under control. This has been interesting so far though. Even though it's getting a little boring right now.
I really want to move on...I feel sorry for Caine and Taliman...they have to keep waiting until 7 months RP time passes.... sweatdrop
Anyways, bed time.
Peace, Love, and Happiness,
~The Jade One
P.S. I"m almost halfway to getting my NM Scarf! 212k of 450k!! xd
