Black Friday

The day began at 5am instead of 3am---thank god. Me, my brother, and my mom were in Walmart by 6:20am and it was quite packed. We heard over the loud speaker: "Will the lady who witnessed the altercation in the cleaning isle please report to the customer service desk!" as soon as we walked in. I guess there was an ambulance outside at one point too, all before we even got there. There sure is nothing like the Christmas spirit!
After this we went to JC Penny's to buy me a suit. They had only 2 jackets to pick from and they both sucked, so we decided to go to the mall to find one. I was told, by my dad, that I was under a strict budget of $80. In fact, I wasn't to spend anything close the $80. Yeah....that wasn't going to get me anywhere. So we found a suit that came out to just over $100, and that was cheap because it was marked down from $200. I can't for my dad to ask me how much it cost me, honestly. He has no idea what things like this cost, and no idea of how important it is for me to actually have a suit. He maybe uses his once a year, if that. I'm glad my mom understands, she finally convinced my dad to pay for my books until I can comfortably pay for them myself, not wipe out my checking account (which they did this year).

Before I digress: I'm really freaking poor. I have no money on my person. Luckily my mom can cover for my lack of a job. My point is that I can't afford everything we decide to go and do, and the last thing I want to do is not go and do these things. So as of now, I will not except any money from you guys. I simply cannot afford to pay you guys back. I still owe my dad money for my car insurance and whatever else he decides I owe him. Therefore, whenever I can actually have money, I need to give it all away again. Then I'm back to having no money, and to many things to pay for. Yesterday I got $50 bucks from my aunt and uncle in a very very late birthday card. I'm now left with $30 after gas and my Secret Santa gift. I want to make this stretch as much as possible, so guys, please bare with me, at least until I find a job. I'm not marching Statesmen this summer for this specific reason--I can't afford anything.

Now I digress:
I bought my Secret Santa gift. Whoever it is should like it. Thank my aunt and uncle.
Then I went home and drank eggnog. The end.
