Hey guys. Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. I haven't really felt like making any journals, due to laziness and whatnot. But I suppose this is probably something to get some advice on.

Lately, my mom and I have been a little pressed for money. So yesterday, my mom and I were out, and we'd just finished eating(nothing special, but hey, it's food). As we were walking to the car, my mom tells me she's going to go by the local Office Depot to see what kind of jobs they're offering, cuz they had a 'Now Hiring' sign out front. Apparently, they've cut hours so much at her regular job, we're having trouble paying the bills and stuff. Anyway, my mother does not need any more stress than she's already got. And she's getting old(not that old, but you know), which doesn't make matters any better. She's sore, exhausted, and out of it when she comes homes, and having a second job would probably push her past working ability, or at least damn close. Now, since I'm still in school, and already struggling to pass all my classes(mostly due to sickness and not doing homework), getting a part-time job really doesn't seem like the best idea, although it may come to that at some point. So, while in the car, I was thinking... that I may consider starting a commissioning thing, you know, just to help in any way I can. Of course, there are obstacles in my way. I have no idea how to really get started, what it would entail, if I need a subscription or not, how money gets transferred, etc.. I'm not even sure if this is a good idea or not. So, I wanted to ask you guys for help. Any thoughts/advice/guidance/tips/whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Other than that, life's been pretty nice. I've finally stopped trying to hack my lungs up every time I cough, and I've had multiple Bleachgasms over the past few weeks. Still haven't been able to find anything at the bookstore when we go(which is rare, for the moment), but it's still fun reading all the tasty yaoi. I've also had tons of fun with Elizaveta, and had random sparks of artistic brilliance. I'm excited about SacAnime, even though it's still not for a few months(assuming we get to go). I'm gonna meet up with some of my Deviant friends and we're going on a yaoi hunt. That'll be fun. Ohh, also, I REALLY want Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I'm pretty sure I'll have to wait til Christmas, but I guess that's not too far away. It's still a while, though, cuz I'm impatient. Oh well. Hmm... well, that's about all. Nothing else seems to come to mind.

Til next time!
