If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Spike ,'Get It Done'


Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've done my own eyebrows very successfully once, and with mixed results a few times. I should get them done so I know what they b should look like. When I was a teenager I'd read Glamour or whatever's guide to perfect brows and it seemed like mine were perfect, but sometime in the last 20 years they stopped that.

I just came back from getting my toes all prettied up. Need to do the lashes again soon, too.

I was just crazy enough to apply for an extra student loan to help me get through with the decreased income. I think, with the way the woman on the phone handled it, I got denied...but I'm waiting for the e-mail to confirm that.

I'm frustrated. I need someone to take a chance on me. I know my credit is terrible, but I'm trying. I'm trying really, really hard. And I need some help to get through school. And I just feel like such a stupid failure.

Always Anti-fascist!

I can relate, Bug.

Not a failure, vw. You were blindsided by an unexpected financial shortfall and you're coping as best you can. Good luck with the loan. You never know.

It was denied. I can write a big long letter explaining everything on my credit report and try to get them to re-look at it, but it's probably not gonna happen. Oh, well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just feel like such a stupid failure.

With your GPA? Puh-lease. As for the money, the SYSTEM is a failure, not you.

I know it's stupid. When it comes to money, I just can't keep myself from going to that failure place. Work is going great. School is going great. I'm holding up two jobs, school, home (kind of), etc. But I just can't get caught up with money. And it's such a taboo subject. I kind of can't believe I'm even talking about it here. I just...I'm so sick of feeling like a leech and failure in that boat.

Up with the sun

So I may have jumped to a tiny conclusion this morning. My old employers are replacing another person at my level, not my exact job. And while I still would have liked them to call me first, the truth is I wouldn't have wanted to take her position anyhow, especially since I've been interviewing for easier jobs that pay more.

So yeah, they aren't quite the assholes I made them out to be.

And I should get my brows done this weekend. I can pluck them myself, but waxing is so much faster and they always look pretty when I have them done.

I'm glad you found that out, LJ. Not fired.

You're in a tough situation, vw. You live in an expensive area and you're going to school, so your income potential is limited. A friend of mine is trying to borrow the money to pay her bankruptcy fees - also not her fault, but probably a worse situation. You're doing what you can, and from where I'm sitting it seems like you are doing a lot.
