I got in everyone's hostile little face. Yes, these are bruises from fighting.

Well!

Since apparently I have to justify my use of money and time before I am allowed to freely bitch about either in my own journal-- e.g. how tight money can get and why I can't/won't work a second job (or nonpaying internship!)-- without someone thinking I'm a hypocrite...

Is there anything else I need to explain to y'all? Is there anything else about my life I need to justify, clarify, or otherwise extrapolate on?

...only not really.

If you don't approve of my life, if it really annoys you and you think I'm a fucking moron for the way I'm living it (as, of course, seen through the slit-in-the-wall window of LJ for most of you, since many of you don't know me in real life), then fuck off.

Seriously.

You don't like it, stop reading it.

Do I sound pissy? You bet! I'm pretty much ok with that. I shouldn't have to run my goddamn budget and daily schedule in here just to verify with everyone that I'm not completely incompetent.
