I may have to quit soon, and this is just my heads up and requisite E/N thread.

You know Peter Petrelli from Heroes, who can absorb the special powers of people he's near? Well, okay, imagine that Peter Petrelli is today. Then imagine that "powers" is just another term for "shit".

Now imagine that I'm Sylar, and Peter's coming after me, except instead of being this vicious supervillain, I am also shit.

I thought you'd like that. Contextualization is always key to proper communication.

Sooo...we may not be able to pay our phone bill, our cable bill, our internet bill. There's a very slim chance, albeit a chance nonetheless, that we won't be able to pay our rent.

Credit cards don't cut you off; they let you dig yourself a bigger and bigger hole, then charge you extra for going over. Telephone and cable companies can tack on charges arbitrarily because they magically discovered fees from two years ago that they need to blame somebody for. At the moment, we owe about $4100-4200 to these darling gents and ladies so, depending on how things turn out, I may be quitting teh gmae.

Today I was downtown, and I passed by this exceedingly-cute fella about my age, 19, 20, playing a flute outside the bank. He was pretty good, actually, and I enjoyed the tuneskies. On my way back in that direction I came expecting to see him gone, but to my surprise he was still there. Only thing was that he was crouched down against the wall, whereas before he was standing there, jivin' to the rhythm. Now he's just so mopey, and he plays a little, stops...I think I saw a sigh in there once. So as I'm coming by the second time, I notice that in the half hour since I've been downtown, dude earned no coin. He had 2 quarters when I passed by before.

So I drop a 20 on the dude. I smile, nod, and do a little two fingered salute, as is my style at the time. He looks up and I can't quite tell what that look on his face is. I'm about 5 more steps along before he actually calls out his profuse thanks to me, and you know, good mojo. Good feeling. I'd call it karma if we hadn't just been screwed over by this inauspicious day. I just gave him 40 times what he's earned thus far in the day. But the best part of all is when I'm a little further down the street, I look behind me and see that he's standing again, playing his flute with gusto.

Normally when I do things like this (because it's not the first time), the Mom gives me a little bit of a hard time about my looseness with money but it stays at that. Now my mom was so worried; it's really scaring her, the situation we're in. We are on a precipice. I didn't have the heart to tell her until she came into my room just now and admitted she's been spending to help others out as well. It really makes me appreciate how lucky I am to turn out to be a person like her.

It all makes me feel so grateful.

Also, I have hot dogs. 8)

Edit: Our neighbours are giving a free TV with a built-in CD/DVD player. What the hell is it with today?

:( Oh man.

Like, seriously man. Oh man. :(

And I still don't know if you're a guy or a girl.

Seriously though.

If you've got like a Paypal or something... I'll do what I can to help! And I know others here would do the same.

We do lovethesuit, after all.

Kotenku <3 the suit <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Also:

Got PayPal?

Yes, but I'm not looking for donations. Send those to the Beacon.

<3 Coat.

Edited, but a little too slow.

:( Come to IRC :O(

This makes me sad, suit. :( I wish you the best! You're a good guy, so know that things will turn out somehow.

The karma will catch up <3thesuit. Believe it.

That's what I'm saying :(

You just gotta let it happen. I'm not asking you to let me help out. I'm telling you

=(

I dedicate this, my 666th post, which you so eagerly anticipated, to you. Good luck, my androgynous trolly friend.

;( I wish you luck, Lovethesuit! Do be well.

The suit carma is infact reversed. good things happen to bad people not good people. Just look at EFu! How many Evil people are more remembered than good ones? Trust me Im a doctor seriously ive discovered the secret of the universe carma dosent exist. Positive energy makes negative energy. And negative energy makes positive energy. Remember the scientific theory. Oposites attract positives repel!

I love the suit too. Money is disturbing as it attacks your sense of security... - but, World ain't fair, and debts of 4000$ aren't so bad. You could even help out your folks by getting a full time job during the summer, you could probably clear it in 3-4 months of work by yourself.

Problems don't go away, just do what you need to fix them, if it means getting a job, stopping "escaping reality" in nwn for a bit, so be it, heh?

Take care.

Sorry for you :(

Best of luck LTS, Mort's right, I advise countless hours of Manual labour, it's the quickest way to gather some cash.

<3thesuit. Hope you'll get everything worked out. :(

The Suit has nothing but my love.

I hate $$$. I <3 the suit. Good luck.

Um.. :cry:

I'm rooting for you Love!

A good way to help you to deal with this kind of situations, according to some stuff I read somewhere, is to realize whatever momentarily financial crisis you are passing through it’s just that, a moment, a period of time.

Yes, I’m sure it’s hard and the upcoming months, or even years, will be pretty tough but if you realize soon it will be over and you can get yourself up again, it gives you strength and the time moves faster.

Anyway, good luck mate, hope everything end up well and we can see you soon.

I'll be praying for you, meditating on it, however you'd like to name what I do. I wish you the best of luck. And remember; all actions come back to you three fold. Directly or otherwise. Bu t you'll get yours. And from what I can see, it's only going to be good. You'll go through this rough patch. And sure, things might get a little tough for awhile. But you're a good person, and things will find their way back around to you.

I send my love.

I can't say I believe in karma, but I believe in the suit. Get that shit sorted, okay? ;)

I call that "This too shall pass". It's all transitory.

Thanks though! All of ya.

<3 for the suit. Especially for random donations to cute musicians.

In debt? been there, done that. It blows over and becomes a lesson learned for the future. You'll probably end up even better off after this. 4k doesn't take long to pay off. Hate to see you go though.

<3thesuit was custom-tailored for EFU. You will be missed, but not for long. Because fashion comes and goes like a financial crisis. I am hoping to see the Aautumn 2007 Custom Tailored Suit back here. K?

Crisis averted. I constructed additional pylons.

Over nine thousand additional pylons? :O) I hope your body can take it. Or else... THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING TO DIE
