Well, speaking of.  How much do you need to get together in two months?

You may find that good humor is necessary to get through it. :/

Yeah, buge, you happen to have come into problems during a time when I've got plenty of money. I'm, as always, more than willing to help if you need it.

Thanks, you guys. I honestly don't know how much I'll need at this point, since I'm trying to (a) find a place within my price range, and (b) determine what my options are in terms of sources of funding.

My mom called me to tell me my dad totalled his car and sent a couple people to hospital (he's absolutely fine, they're... also fine, I think?). The main problem is of course the fact that my folks live on such a perpetually razor-thin margin of bankruptcy and utter destitution that who knows where this will put them (it's insurance companies that get sued here, not the individual, but his rates will still be astronomical now, he has to buy another car, etc.).

I think the shittiest part is that I was reminded once again that the telephone is a malevolent and evil device. We don't have friends that call to hang out anymore, no one's going to call and tell us we're getting a pile of money, relatives don't even call to check on us, no, the ringing of my phone only presages deaths, misery, and financial ruin. When I hear that goddamned fucking phone ring, I only feel the cold claws of fear; the sickness in my gut that knows all too well that absolutely nothing good is going to come of my answering.

Dude, give me your number. I'll call you every night just to chat or something.

Well, I still do see and talk to my remaining friends but most of them have become so dead to the world that I have to initiate all contact or plans. Except Darryl, who can counted upon to randomly barge in, Kramer-style at some ungodly hour.

This is why my ringtone chime for anyone who doesn't have a custom tone is the "Status Ailment inflicted" tone from Earthbound. If I'm not expecting your call, I'm expecting it to be about as pleasant as having a mushroom grow out of my head.

Oh, I ever ignore my mother's calls... she'll just call again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

But I generally prefer not to avoid bad news anyway. Just tell me about it and get it over with already.

What are the odds of me getting three flat tires in the space of a week?

No really, I want to see the math.

Thank goodness it was the right size.

I didn't THINK I really cared much about how my hair looked. Very much wrong. I was strong-armed by my parents into getting my hair cut, because it was starting to get in my eyes. The bitch cut off more than half of my hair. Now every time I see a mirror, any time I touch my hair, any time I'm un-distracted by anything else for long enough to feel the lack of hair, I get extremely upset. They fucked up my hair and I liked my fucking hair. I have literally cried about it. It is going to take MONTHS before my hair is back to how it was and I can't go 30 minutes without thinking about it. Fuck.

Ahhh, that sucks. :( I hate how i look with short hair, People always say it looks good, but they're just silly. I sort of feel like that with my beard, too, I really like having a beard, and hate the idea of having to shave it for job interviews that i'm not going to get anyway! I may as well go in with a neatly trimmed beard. I probably have the same chance anyway.

Check out some guides on goth/emo style (I assume are are such things) and arrange your hair constantly in the most obnoxious, oily, dark, trying-too-hard-to-look-like-it's-3-am manner you can.  It's a short-term revenge and a long-term dissuasion from making you cut it again, plus it will probably be more acceptable to you than whatever old-person thing you've had imposed on you.
