This is what I look like right now. In my mind.
Can I just say upfront that I don't do "poor" very well. I'm not used to it, and I don't know how to do it without paincking and freaking the fuck out, especially when I'm totally off my psych meds (the Klonopin and Adderall are not for fun, kids). I watch "Shameless" and I wish I could be like Fiona and her friend V - they rarely freak out about the electric guy climbing the pole to kill their TV and refrigerator. Or the gas dude shutting them off in Chicago. In January. Me? I get a late notice from the gas people and I turn into that ^^^^. And I make everyone around me freak out, too. Crazy people like myself should never go off their meds. Not. Ever. True story.
Adderall: Focus in tablet form.
Those puppies up there are, I've discovered, a necessary part of my life. Because when I'm off them, I can't seem to stop running from working to Facebook to writing to washing dishes to oh there's a squirrel that foil on the Hershey's Kisses is shiny....and nothing gets finished. I must be a pain in the ass to live with. And without the Klonopin, I am just a little bundle of anxiety that can't focus. So it's a double whammy. And you guys? I feel really sorry for my boyfriend, because he has to live with this shit. I'm pretty sure he's getting ready to have me committed.
But anyway, back to being broke. It sucks ass. It does. I have learned to lie, to juggle, to keep things going with bullshit and tape and thumbtacks. I've figured out how to keep a roof over our heads and a roof on the shelter on pretty limited funds. I'm back to work freelancing and shit, and I started a company called Art Eternel (no, it is not misspelled, it is le French) which I will be annoying you guys to check out when I get the website up. Which is taking forever because of the aforementioned schizzyness. But I also figured out how to keep the gas and electric people from making us live in a dark, cold cave (I can't imagine no heat in January in NY). So yeah. I should be proud of myself. But I'm not.
Also? The boyfriend has been pretty fucking distant these last couple of days. I know he's stressed from work but really? When he calls and says he's pissed off and I say, "Would the sex make you feel better?" and he says, "Well, not NOW it wouldn't," and then when he gets home he stays on the internet looking up stories about this broad's arrest and telling me she is such a nice person even though she got arrested for heroin selling and possession and she's pretty much a whore (and her kids are going to be in foster care now so yeah, nice person, and I can say that because I tried to drag her to meetings and she should know better), then plays games on Facebook until I fall asleep because I a) got up at 4 in the morning to work, and b) the medication the rheumatologist gave me makes me sleepy, and also c) my feelings were hurt by that after I threw it out there on the phone and then put on makeup and shaved my legs to stay home and eat grilled cheese...well, yeah, like I said, it hurt my feelings. Now, if I were on my psych meds I would be able to sit down and calmly figure out wtf was going on, and possibly talk about it. But my head goes straight to "He hates me now because I couldn't pay the utility bills" and also jealousy over this jailbird.
Hi, I'm a whore. Wanna see my mugshot?
We went to give the gas company cash today, and we laughed in the car. And when he made a remark about having sex with midgets I jokingly said, "Well, yeah, cause you don't wanna have the sex with ME," he said that wasn't true. Okay. So we will see tonight.
This wasn't supposed to be about my sex life. But I warned you in the title. Now I have to work. So yeah, I hope you enjoyed my little rant.
