I'm too tired for Hate and Anger. Also, I don't hate them--they're fixing stuff. I'ts not their fault I stayed up till 4 am and then couldn't have a lie-in because they had to work.

id entity, at a time like this only Udi Aloni can help me.

22:11 / 20.07.06

Thanks for the link... sounds like a little Udi Aloni would help all of us.

I feel pretty miserable right now. Seems a lot of what I touch turns to shit and I'm sick of never having any money, having to fend off bailiffs, and being chased by meanies in my dreams. And then I look at how lucky I am compared to most of our planet's population and I feel like punching myself in face for being so pathetic.

But I've been trying, really trying to turn it around, and yet no matter what I do something always comes along and screw it all up.

Bah! Maybe it's the heat, the fact I haven't been eating properly for a while, and that I always feel more like an outsider in summer, when I see all those beautiful people with tans parading up Church Street and looking so "together". I mean, I'm sure they're not; we've all got problems, right? But still....

How many more years of this?

Church Street can be particulary nauseating. A lot of people who live there are fucking loaded, but I'm sure there all management consultant filth, and they'll pay in the next world. My sympathies anyway, I'm sure you will turn it around if you keep trying. I feel like I'm beginning to and it's only taken all of my fucking life!

Cheers, big guy. S'OK, I had a primal scream moment earlier, shed a tear, and now I'm too tired to be miserable.

Here's hoping you kick Big Daddy's giant wobbly bottom the next time you see him.

I lost all my money and my train tickets and I can't get home and I havent eaten for about 24 hours.

paranoidwriter waves hello

10:56 / 25.07.06

Princess Swashbuckling, where about are you? Are there any friends nearby who you could tap for a fiver? I probably shouldn't say this, but is there any way you could jump the train?

I find myself in the situation you're in quite regularly (the skint and hungry bit), so my heart goes out to you. Best of luck, comrade.

Princess

11:13 / 25.07.06

I'm Aberystwyth aka End of The Civilised World. Most of my friends have left for the summer. There a dude I sleep with occasionally who might be good for a cheese sandwhich, and a guy from my coven who might be willing to cash cow for me.
As for jumping the train, I could. Whats the worst that could happen? Its not like I have any money they could fine me with.

paranoidwriter waves hello

11:22 / 25.07.06

I think your firends are the best option.

As far as I know, if you get caught on the train and pretend you've only just realised you've lost your ticket (try tears as well), they will ask for some ID, then send the fine to your home address. However, without ID I think they might call the police; not sure though as I've (touch wood) never been caught. Where do you need to get to?

If come (say) six o'clock, you still haven't found a friend to help, PM me and I'll see if my friends in Aberdovey are around (although one of them was in London recently and said they were due to go abroard on holiday so there's every chance they might have gone already. Still, can't hurt to try if the worst comes to the worst)

Princess

12:18 / 25.07.06

That is such a nice offer. Thankyou.
On the negfative side, the man behind me had bought a huge packet of greasy, vinegary, salty chips. The smell of them makes me yearn for food. I want chips!

Princess

12:24 / 25.07.06

And ice-cream! I feel like fucking Tantalus.

paranoidwriter waves hello

12:33 / 25.07.06

Oh man, I should have checked before I made that offer, as I've just phoned them on their landline (no answer) and their mobiles (international dialing ring; so I put the phone down), and can't get hold of them. I feel like that guy with the crisps now, tempting you and then dashing your hopes like that. Bad p.w...

Have you tried your friend yet, the one with cheese sandwich? Where do you need to get to? If it's down the road, then jump the train. If it's (e.g) Birmingham, then this is going to be a much harder blag to pull off.

If it helps, I'm skint too and haven't eaten since yesterday morning. Yep, hunger is a bastard, just ask Knut Hamsun, he'll tell ya.

Princess

12:37 / 25.07.06

Hey, no worries. The offer was still lovely. I've contacted him but I think he may be at work still. (Which means it's ok to take his money as he has gainful employment). I need to get to Tamworth, which is the stop after Birmingham.

paranoidwriter waves hello

12:45 / 25.07.06

Tamworth.... Hmm....likelihood is there will be an inspector on the train, which means you probably will get caught (even if you hide in the loo). If I were desperate though (don't know how desperate you are), I'd jump it anyway and face the fine, sticking to my story that I'd lost the ticket (remember, tears). I mean, they can be big fines, but you have to weigh up your options: stay here and starve, or go there and eat but end up having to pay a huge fine in a few weeks or so...

Tough call. I reckon borrowing money of friends is defiinitely the better option though. e.g. Have you got anyone who can moneygram some money to you via a Post Office?

Princess

12:47 / 25.07.06

What is this moneygram of which you speak? It is a device I know not of.

RE: desperation- suprisingly little. I'm actually still amused. Although that might just be starvation hysteria.

paranoidwriter waves hello

12:53 / 25.07.06

You'd have to cheque the Post Office website, but I think it goes like this:

Your friend/relative goes to their local Post Office with cash for you. They tell the cashier the PO that you will be visiting, give a code-word and get given a code-number, both of which they then tell you on the phone. You then go to your local PO with these pass-codes and identification to prove you are who you are. And hey presto: the money's yours. (I think the PO charges for this service, however)

Princess

12:55 / 25.07.06

Hmmm. Sounds useful. I will divine more via the power of Google.

Here ya go, Princess S. Good luck.

I was served with papers a few hours ago. Debt I had built up years ago while living with my ex, which I knew was 'out there' and had a long term plan to handle has found me before I found it.

Apparently I was found guilty of owing the money (duh) years ago and it has teken a while for them to find me to serve me. In the 4 or 5 years since I accrued the debt it seems to have built up quite a bit, so on thursday I need to go talk to this lawyer about how I plan to give them $10,000.00 or so.

Thank god there was port in the house.

Both my sister and my mum have cancer. And there was me thinking it'd leave us the fuck alone after killing my dad.

God can be a right bastard sometimes. And I was just starting to see the good in Christianity again.

19:30 / 01.08.06

Holy fuck, Stoatie. I am so sorry.

19:38 / 01.08.06

Stoatie, I'm really sorry. That's awful. This sounds like a really hard place to be in right now. I'm thinking of you and your family.

Oh Stoatie, I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry.

I sincerely wish your family well in all this. I'm so very sorry, Stoatie.

This is awful and I'm not sure what to say, Stoat. My thoughts are with you and your family.

No wrods, Stoatie. Cancer is indeed a thing from Hell. Best wishes to you and your family

Fight along with them, Stoat.

Odd -- my better half keeps getting cancer, but it's more of an annoyance. Thing on her face. It's back now. Just been grumbling about it at home. This would be the minor kind, I suppose. My mother had the other kind, but beat it.

Mistoffelees

21:25 / 01.08.06

I wish your sister and mother a fast recovery and I hope, you three will get through these bleak times and can enjoy your lives again!

Oh, arse. That's bad. Sorry to hear it.
Still, if anyone can beat it it's the family of mustelids. Get her to think honey badger.

I'm so very sorry Stoatie. Cancer is a vile thing, you know it took my Dad. You poor thing. Hugs.
