Saw that coming

So my sister is visiting, been here about a week, she'll be leaving maybe end of next week or whatever.  This time I havent really cared, mainly just ignored her, let her do whatever, whenever she wanted to car I just said go for it, which has been every day.  Mainly because I dont feel like inviting added stress to myself and also to show my parents what happens when I give her full freedom as they bitch at me sometimes to just let her take it now and then when shes visiting because she cant afford a hire car.

So in that week shes somehow managed to clock up over 400km.  I cant even do that if I try in 3 months, and shes done it in a week.  Somehow driving to her friends place, which is less than 10min from our house, is similar to entering the twilight zone.  She doesnt add in all the taxi rides she gives her friends when they all meet up etc.  Cause thats what my car is, a free taxi.  But the best part about this is shes done what I expected her to do and thats damage the car.




Its a bit hard to tell from the angle, but thats my car door.  The scrape you can see is a little longer then my hand.  Clearly she grinded up against something.  She tried to say it wasnt there when she used it and in her brain she actually believes this.  She says thats a dent from someone reversing into it.  Its not.  Thats a scrape.  A dent would of caved the door in some and not left sideways streaks.  She then said it was there in the morning when she got back from a light night at a friends so it couldnt be here.  I told her was it there the day before.  She says no.  I say I havent used the car in 3 days because of you.  Thats when it dawned on her that maybe she really is a shit driver.  My parents arent impressed.  I just shrugged and said there you go, what I said would happen happened, and then walked off because I dont care enough to get angry at something I saw coming.  This is going to cost me a bit too.  Not sure how much but no less than $600.  I'd ignore it but because its scratched deep into the door, if I ignore it it'll rust and then I'll need to replace the entire door, and thats just stupid money.

That delicious $600 I dont have.  Get my sister to pay it?  Sure, once she pays off her $800k bank debt.  In other words never.  Last week I even sold my lovely $1200 camera for a pathetic $400 because I was in need to pay off some bills since I'm not working yet, and people dont seem to want to pay anything for high quality goods.

Its not all doom and gloom though.  My friend is holidaying in america at the moment, going to the San Diego comic-con.  He keeps hassling me to go but yeah, I'll just check my bank account and OMG EMPTY!  So as of this moment hes at disney land.  One day I'll make it there so I can ride those damn tea cups that I've always wanted to.  I will ride that a half dozen times just because!  He actually joked that Jed and I should start up a kickstarter with prize levels to get us together so we could make a dodgy holiday movie length video.  I'm sure we'd end up getting $30 all u, and only because someone got the address wrong.

I've lent him my expensive video camera which I bought a few years back so he could record all the places he goes to so I can see it.  I'm one of those few people who actually love looking at holiday pictures/videos that other people make, where as most people get bored of that and dont care.  Hopefully wont damage it or get it stolen.  Costs almost 2grand.  But I've got a year left on the warranty so damage wont bother me.  As long as it isnt crushed or something.

He's also picking up 2 art commissions for me at the comic-con from a couple artists I got stuff from last year, Livio Ramondelli, current Transformers comic artist, and Reilly Brown who used to do deadpool and other DC/Marvel comics.  I saved up for those two months back.  When I get them I'll post them up here and hopefully they'll be awesome.  I've put up previous stuff of theirs that I gotStarscream sitting on his throne and deadpool being smacked by the cat.

  1. Hold a "Livestream Telethon" at some point, maybe with Jed, I really do bet people will help out. I know you don't like asking for things, but honestly, making sure your cat is alive and preventing a small problem from escalating into a huge one...those aren't that bad.

    Until you can find a job, I figure people might be willing to spare. I mean, it couldn't hurt to find out. People donate money for much stupider things, and large amounts, as I witnessed first hand. So it's worth a shot.

    This is probably my last donation x_x I've been very good and spent barely anything from my paychecks for the last few months, but I'm close to my limit now and I'm done. Sorry it's so little, I already spent around $25 this week.

    1. Even though you know it makes me uneasy to accept money you send some more a second time lol. Thank you isnt even close to what I'd like to say. And $25 is heaps, not a small amount. I'm probably going to have to do something in return now to feel less uncomfortable, like a facebook invite or some such.

    2. I still say just do a livestream to earn money. :P I love watching you and Jed play, I end up in tears from laughter every time, but there's just not enough to watch. I believe I have seen every single video you two have ever been in that has been made public. If I could watch you guys nightly, I would.

  2. But when I say a lot stupider, I don't mean it in a bad way xD You guys are pro at being stupid, to the point where it drives people to tears with laughter. I'd pay to see that :P

  3. Well, I can't donate anything, mainly because I'm completely broke, but I CAN say that it sucks and I'm sorry to hear that.
    I know that doesn't earn a facebook invitation, but what can you do :D

  5. How is a job search going? I mean, if they have Subways there, that's a pretty easy and enjoyable job. I mean, I get to talk to people all day and make jokes either with the customers or about them with my co-workers once they leave. Sounds mean but how can one resist when a guy with sunglasses and a giant gold chain necklace walks in?

    1. Those sorts of jobs are primarily given to teenagers or people in their early 20s because they're cheaper to hire. And there are plenty of them lol

    2. *shrugs* I have worked with older people, they just had to be satisfied with minimum wage. And be able to tolerate people my age. I mean, even I have trouble tolerating people my age. I think most of my co-workers are younger than me.

  6. HOLY crap, I thought the blue paint of the car was the ocean, and the white scratch was the floating car door.

    1. Her and her useless husband tried to buy too many houses so they could get rich and retire, but the fees kept hitting them so now they have to sell the rest just to keep their own home. Morons.

    2. I'm sorry, but how exactly do you get rich by spending your money on too many houses? :D

    3. Clearly, as they found out, you dont :D

  10. Hmm, any of the games now for sale on Steam interest you? So many deals xD I bought myself Oblivion and Morrowind and barely know any other games, but you probably do. Must be something you've been watching.

    1. Theres plenty of them. Just depends really on what types of games you like. I just picked up a few including Crusader Kings 2 for $10, usually $40. The trailer looks awesome and really good reviews. But I enjoy those strategy games. I'd also recommend the Witcher, and even Dark Messiah which is like $2.49 for the moment, excellent special.

    2. I probably screwed myself over already money-wise. A friend decided to ask me to buy their friend (and mine) Terraria, then another of my friends had the game wishlisted...and I bought 3 other games so far, 2 of which won't work right now.

      I am THINKING about l4d/l4d2, but my rl friends are shit and I dunno if anyone would play with me.

    3. How do you mean not working? The game wont load or they cant get online with it?

    4. Morrowind crashes on new game and Day Z said I lacked something and glitched up. So a good waste of money that was.

      Delete
    5. Morrowind is fairly old so probably needs some specific DX9 drivers or something. I'd check the forums on steam to see if they have a fix for crashing. Day Z I hear is tricky to get running, but forums should help too. No waste, they'll work with a bit of effort. Also Morrowind has a graphic mod that makes the game look as good, if not better, than Oblivion.

    6. Hmm, I'll check it out. I've gotten Arena and Daggerfall to run, though honestly I spent far too much of my childhood watching my dad playing Wolfenstein for me to tolerate DOS games any longer. At the moment I might just stick with Terraria, Superbrothers, and Hidden. Thanks though, I'll keep this favorited for when I decide to go back to them.
