I don't think my mom gets that I don't have money to buy a plane ticket even if Southwest is having a sale
Shan-o-ween
Sorry I can't afford 600 dollars
Shan-o-ween
oh the sale knocked it down to 400
Shan-o-ween
I still can't afford that
Shan-o-ween
I don't think she understands how little money I have. Yes they help with rent
Shan-o-ween
but that's because I am not rolling in money
Shan-o-ween
We'll see how much this pay check is on friday but it's doubtful
Shan-o-ween
I just arg
Shan-o-ween
Don't guilt trip me into spending money I don't have
Shan-o-ween
I saved all summer to go to New york in october and now she is like well you're going to New York you can pay for your christmas flight
Shan-o-ween
I am like mom
Shan-o-ween
the Christmas flight is more $$ then the whole of my NYC trip
Pipkin
also: You have already paid for the NYC trip, and therefore don't just have that money laying around for other things
Pipkin
it's gone
Shan-o-ween
Yep
Shan-o-ween
I paid for it in chunks
Shan-o-ween
Hotel is paid for, Ticket is Paid for, Stan Lee is Paid for,
Shan-o-ween
I just have to get my bus ticket Friday
Shan-o-ween
I feel like crying right now
Shan-o-ween
She doesn't put this much pressure on my brother and his wife
Shan-o-ween
She acts like I can get 600 dollars together at the drop of a hat or in two months
Pipkin
hell, even I couldn't do that
Shan-o-ween
I am tried of having to keep explaining that to her
Shan-o-ween
I'm not gonna press send
I'm not gonna press send
Pipkin

GrayArcadian
Does it have to do with geek , family in her mind or something?
Pipkin
I would
Shan-o-ween
GrayArcadian
: nope
Shan-o-ween
She just wants us all there
Shan-o-ween
She fucking loves Christmas
Shan-o-ween
And beat cancer so she isn't sick any more
Shan-o-ween
Like she was last year
GrayArcadian
Oh Gods...Yup. Know the drill. Lived it too long.
GrayArcadian
Shhhhhiiiiiitttttt there is no win on this, or reason.
GrayArcadian
Shan-o-ween
I would like to go home but money is tight all round
Shan-o-ween
Pipkin
: I did send it
Shan-o-ween
I added a bit
Shan-o-ween
wolvesmouth: /curls up with
Shan-o-ween
Like first christmas after cancer I get it
Shan-o-ween
but I need her to understand that I am poor like them
Squad Mom
Can you maybe split the costs?
spooky queer
lol parents are so unreasonable sometimes
Shan-o-ween
spooky queer
: It's not even unreasonable, persey?
Shan-o-ween
I think she just doesn't understand two-three jobs to eat and pay utilities, and going to school full time at what is a basically a little ivey?
Shan-o-ween
I am starting to have a life here? I have jobs, but little money, and I would love to go.
Shan-o-ween
But she's not understanding how long it takes me to save that much money
Shan-o-ween
and she's acting like it's my fault, she didn't tell me I'd have to bay for my own ticket back in April when I could have easily saved for it
Shan-o-ween
because the term was over and I was getting a lot of hours.
Shan-o-ween
so basically because I am not a mind reader and saved all summer to go to NYCC
Shan-o-ween
I should be able to pull 4-600 dollars out of my ass
Shan-o-ween
because I've been saving
spooky queer
well that's kind of what i mean
spooky queer
having unreasonable expectations
Shan-o-ween
ah yeah that makes sense
Shan-o-ween
I just ugh
spooky queer
i feel for you
Shan-o-ween
spooky queer
: 
Shan-o-ween
living on the other side of the country then your family
Shan-o-ween
and lol them not understanding dollars
spooky queer
yep west coast living on the east coast problems
Shan-o-ween
it's just a crazy price that doesn't make much sense
Shan-o-ween
lol
spooky queer
sometimes you can get good deals
spooky queer

Shan-o-ween
Yeah I need southwest, oddly I don't think Alaska goes into LV where my parents are atm
