According to James at ACEII.com, the store owner has the company PayPal account to NOT accept international payments. That kind of contradicts what TWO other employees told me. Supposedly HE'S the owner.
So unless ANYONE changes the goddamned settings, I'm stuck. Several people have offered to help and would lend me cash but they're strapped for cash in a bad way. Not as bad as me (I'm STILL unemployed) but still in a bad way. Yet, the people I know who can afford to help and whom I've helped in the past have ignored me. So that's MORE people I removed from my friend's list on Facebook. One asshole I lent money to pay rent back in 2002 never picks up his cell. A fucking twat who was dumped in 2004 had me over for dinner every weekend in 2004 so she wouldn't do something reckless. And 3 others I've helped also snubbed me.
You think they remembered how I helped them? I'm not the type to call in favors but this netbook is vital in so many ways that unless one is a close friend, they have no way of even understanding it's importance.
I either whore myself out to some lonely old woman in her 50s or 60s to get the money, keep praying that ACE computers will fix the paypal problem or I mug someone. I don't see any other option. And no, I cannot ask my mother. She refuses to help.
But on a slightly better note, I started working on ideas for the first Interpol story. So far, the groundwork has been laid out. Japan. But what would the heroes be doing in Japan? Organized crime? Commie threats? Costumed villains? Alien menace? And who would I send out there?
I did something stupid and went on to google maps to look at satellite views of my two previous residences. God how I miss Warwick and Albany. Boy did it depressed the hell out of me. Christmas in Warwick, as brief as it was, was something beautiful. It was hokey yes but you know what? It cheered up this blackheart's soul. Even in Albany, Christmas decorations were plentiful. Here in Flushing? Nothing. No carolers. No decorations in stores, no wreaths on street lamps. No nothing.
Speaking of Christmas, too many people I know from the midwest on FB and in my building are complaining about Christmas. I'm tempted to tell them, "Don't fucking whine about how there will be too many people or how you had spend so much time shopping. At least you have money to spend on others. Here, lemme take everything away and see how you like it. Instead of bitching about it, think about the people that are spending it alone away from friends and families. Be grateful for what you got and don't see too many guests as a negative. Bills from shopping? At least you'll pay them off next month or so."
The next person to complain about such things is going to get such a fucking punch from me.Be grateful for what you got! Oh and those people who bitched... They're gone from my list too. I don't have the patience for such pitiful pieces of whiny filth.
This Sunday is the last day I'm going to see my godmother. Everything has been packed up and shipped ahead of her. She's got enough money to help her get by until she buys the farm, enough medication. Now what's left is to do is to figure out what to do about her furniture. She's given me her flatscreen TV/DVD player which I'm putting in my room along with the computer desk. I'm keeping the Dell Dimension C521's monitor and keyboard. As for the HD itself. I dunno if I should. It's a clunker and it's definitely showing it's age. On the other hand, it could just be that's riddled with virus and the like. It could account for it's slow loading. My godfather did look at a LOT of porn now that I think about it.
The very fucking cool and awesomely retro-licious mini-bar/radio/record player...*sigh* I won't be able to take it cause my mother is a fucking cunt. Let's leave it at that. The E-Z recliner, I want in my room but that's the chair my godfather died in and my mom doesn't want it. Fucking cunt is such a bitch eh?
Hopefully the people who responded to the free furniture ad I put on Craigslist will be able to take all the shit off of my hands.
Made a killer lemon garlic steak today for dinner. Improvised recipes rock. Went to the Natural History museum today. Was bored out of my mind. Afterwards went to a job interview in Spanish Harlem. This spic reggaeton record company needed a photoshop artist to make flyers and posters. Came up with some quick samples. The best I ever made and it got rejected. They wanted something like this -
