Uh, everyone cross your fingers my school's loopholes work in my favor and I get $1200 dropped in my lap this week → I can get internet installed ASAP.

...And then, you know, still avoid the internet in favor of reading/playing video games. But at least the option will be there.

EDIT: LOL NEVER MIND 8|

One more quick thing -- or not so quick, I guess? Idkkkk. I'm moving into a new apartment (my first!) in a little over a week. The issue here is that I have no internet; it's not provided at the complex, and my wireless card has just...decided to stop working, so I can't even try to hijack someone else's connection. I'm looking at plans right now, and the cheapest are about 1.5 Mbps (ugh) for $30/mo. or so, but only if you already have phone/TV with that company. The one I want is $47/mo plus installation fees, blah blah blah -- which, to be honest, is $47 I don't have. If my math is right on what I'll be spending each month -- rent, utilities, gas, food, paying off credit cards, student loans, a cushion for emergency/random expenses -- I will have something like, oh, $27 to my name each month. And that's not including my $100+/mo. health care plan. Sooo yeah. I'm hoping I can get a connection with one of the cheaper companies, even if it's a shitty lower bandwith. But if I can't, after the 8th, I'll only be able to sneak on occasionally at work and maybe haul my laptop to wifi spots (which is actually irrelevant as the wireless card isn't working, but I am looking into a bblaptop to tote around). Idk how long that will last. I mean, this is a worst-case scenario; I might have more money than I thought, or after a couple months find out how to budget it out to get internet. But idk, right now it's not looking so likely. I'll keep you guys updated if it changes.

1) We have guidelines/prompts ready for abundantideas, so those will go up later today! KEEP AN EYE ON IT.
2) I am apparently only capable of writing lately when I'm supposed to be working. I'm in the middle of my first drabble from the new prompt table (Leah/Caleb, I WILL RELISH ANY OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE THEM, NO LIE), and it is just pouring out of me in bits and pieces. As soon as I go home, lol, NOTHING. Clearly this is more important than my paycheck.
3) I have half a box of spaghetti, two eggs, and half a package of swiss and cheddar cheese each to get me through to the Tuesday after next. I'm going to starve. 8| Also need to put gas in my tank tonight, and am not entirely sure how I'm going to do that, since I have $12 on my credit card. Uh.
4) W/E I WILL JUST READ BOOKS FOR SUSTENANCE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE SAME THING.
5) Anyway, the point is, I am writing drabbles, so I will hopefully have at least one up tonight. Productivity, I have it.
