Okay so the sucky part first: My car broke down today. I tried to go to the lab in the morning and it wouldn't start. Not at all. So I had to call to the repair-shop and they now towed it and I'll get it back tomorrow if I'm lucky and it's not a massive operation. I'm praying it's not anything huge and that it won't cost a kidney or two.

Second sucky part is that yesterday I noticed that neither me nor [livejournal.com profile] pi_ankh have been receiving the living-allowance that belongs to our student grant. Basically the government should pay 80% of our rent since we're students but for some reason they didn't for the past three months. Meaning, I'm lacking around 400€ that I should have right now. We MIGHT get some of it back but it's not certain. Hoping for the best, again.

Why do the sucky things always relate to money one way or another?

Anyways, since I was stuck home I took a short 1½ hour nap *laughs* And i feel quite much better now. Especially after sleep and some Super Smash Bros. Melee and chatting with friends. So it's not a totally wasted day I guess XD I wanted to make a huge picture post with random favorite pictures (like the pairing picture post and the Shinya post I made) but now I don't think I feel like it anymore.

Corey Taylor's twitter made me smile again, too.

And I posted the last chappie of the ongoing story.

And I want to write. But I can't. So I'll make icons *laughs* And eat Christmas ham.

And this is getting kind of short-worded XD OH AND I'M GOING TO ADVERTISE!





GO CHECK THEM OUT (and join the communities if you didn't XD)!
 
 
mood: cheerful

Sorry about your car. For a moment I was like wait take car to the lab what? xD Then I realize you mean school. Ugh probably a dead battery (let's hope!), and I hate it when cars break down like that when you need them!

Government fail. Sounded like mine when I tried to get school books >>.

Melee....I want to play (If I had a wii). I have to go play Star Wars: Unleashed 2 for the 360 (didn't want it for the ps3 this time xD). Do you play brawl?

What did his twitter say?

Yay for finishing story!

Yay I can't wait to see icons. Are you going to make any food or nature ones? ^^

They told me that it'd be fixed tomorrow so it's at least pretty soon! And I don't need to wait for weeks. So something good in this *laughs*

Exactly. And I HATE it that the unemployed and sick and whatever are all on the same line but STUDENTS are always discriminated against :/

My brother has a Wii and Brawl, so we play it when I visit him :) I only have GameCube so I have to go for Melee XD

heh he thanked people for wishing him happy birthday but pointed out that his birthday isn't November 8th but December 8th x)

I'm going to, yeah, but those already finished ones don't include much of them :)

What was wrong with it? Yay! Not waiting weeks. I had to wait I think a couple of days for mine! First time was wrong with it we thought battery, then alternator, and when really the light in my trunk wouldn't go off, and it drained my battery LOL. ;__; what a waste of time and money.

Here it was just get in a line and wait for your turn to buy your books xD. Well that's how it was here. Had to wait in line for two hours one time during fall classes. It wasn't so bad though. Finding out "Oh were sorry your scholarship for vocational rehab has not hit yet, so will that be cash or credit?" >>

Ooooooo There was a gamecube at GameStop for $25 xD. I should buy it >>.

LOL! OH! xD wow.

Aw! I'm excited!
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 8th, 2010 08:28 pm (UTC)
I don't know yet XD They only check it tomorrow at the repair-shop and then call me. But they GUESSED it'd only take tomorrow and not longer XD

Oh gosh that sucks! D: Waiting or so long and then being turned back.

Oh that is a good deal! Definitely!

haha let's see when I actually get to posting stuff XD

Meeeergh sucks with the car :( And the money!!! You're right, the most annoying troubles are always money-related. Bah. *tries to forget about the fact she still has some insurance crap to do* >_> (On an unrelated note... WOW, the government pays 80% of your rent because you're students??? That's pretty awesome. o_O;)

Good that the nap made your feel better *hughug*
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 8th, 2010 09:31 pm (UTC)
It does :/ And I think I'm gonna miss school tomorrow too because of this. Not that I would want to go there badly, but still XD

Nah, government doesn't pay it BECAUSE we're students. EVERYONE who doesn't have the money to pay for their own living gets 80% of their rent from the government. Including unemployed people, sick people, students and so on. Except that students only get the money from the official school months, meaning eight months a year, while everyone else gets it throughout the year XD If you're unemployed you get twice the money you get as a student and it doesn't exactly encourage people to study x)

*hugs back* Thank you :)

Woaaah. Money problems, how much I know about THESE too -.- *huggles you tight* SO hope you'll get that money back Kätzchen ;-; at least part of it;-;
and woah, time raced so fast. Advent calendars. My gosh @@
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 09:53 am (UTC)
*hugs back tight* I'm hoping so, too ;__; I'll know latest in a couple of weeks so let's see and hope for the best! Man, it's a lot of money.

I know! haha it feels like school just started yesterday and now it's only one and half months left! Where did the time go? D:
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 09:54 am (UTC)
AND I was just thinking of that icon and thinking of you since we watched Saw on Friday :D haha throughout the whole movie XD It is Adam, right?
[identity profile] ravanna.livejournal.com on November 10th, 2010 05:35 am (UTC)
&hearts, it is! I was so madly in love with him when I watched the first movie, I SO adored his character and the way he was presented ♥ aaah, good old Saw I. Still is the best movie out of god-knows-how-many.
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 10th, 2010 09:02 am (UTC)
I had forgotten how much I actually liked him but now that we watched it again, it all came back again ♥ He is an awesome character. And Saw is really one of the best movies.

We've talked about your car on twitter yesterday. So, any update? When can you get your car back?

and about your living-allowance.. aw! it sucks bad. I hope you can get it fixed. but btw, the brighter side is your government care enough to give you some money. Not gonna happen here in Indonesia >:( well, not anytime soon.


awwww~~~~~ viskei Kaoru! <33 miss him like A LOT! <3 I'm gonna watch Macabre or Osaka-Jo Hall tonight!
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 09:56 am (UTC)
I don't know yet, unfortunately :/ They will call me today when they're done with it. And I'm anxiously watching my phone all the time and waiting for it to ring.

heh in Finland everyone is entitled to be taken care by the government. Students are actually in a pretty bad situation in comparison since every single unemployed drunk is entitled to more money than students who work their asses off XD But I know that compared to other countries we're lucky!

Now you made me wanna watch Macabre or Osaka-Jo too :D Damnit! Maybe I should, it's been ages!
[identity profile] kurenai-tenshi.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 10:01 am (UTC)
*hugs* good luck. I hope they'll contact you soon.


huh? if you get less money then unemployed drunk... are you sure your government do the right calculation? LOL

Now you made me wanna watch Macabre or Osaka-Jo too :D Damnit!
wait, it's you started this! xDD
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 10:03 am (UTC)
*hugs back* Thank you :) I surely hope so or I'm stuck home tomorrow, too! XD

They're idiots XD I mean, I can survive with the money they give me, no problem! But it's a matter of principle and I don't think unemployed persons deserve more money than students x) They counted the amount of money a person needs in a month to live "decently and not in poverty" and students are actually below that XD It's not poverty as in REAL poverty, gosh no. But that's how they put it XD

...I won't admit anything XD I'm innocent!
[identity profile] kurenai-tenshi.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 10:15 am (UTC)
LOL. I wonder how an unemployed needs more money than student? hahahaha...


...... You sneaky.....
[identity profile] higeki-kiseki.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 05:10 pm (UTC)
Meh. Money issues suck. I hope your car can be fixed quickly and that you'll get the money you need as soon as possible :/
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 05:24 pm (UTC)
They do. My gosh, I had to pay 220€ for the car to be fixed but at least it's done now :/
[identity profile] higeki-kiseki.livejournal.com on November 9th, 2010 06:35 pm (UTC)
Ugh! Shit :/ But as you said, at least it's done now :/ /over-abuse of ":/"-smiley
