How fun. :-p Sorry about that. But hey, it'll be March in no time, and you can do everything you dream of doing. :-)

[☁ ℳisty ℳoonlit ℳemories ☾, Ahh! I can't wait to read the third book!]

Right! I'm so excited! ....if only I could land a job. ^_^" An income would be nice some time soon.

[Master of Puppets (I'm pulling your strings)]

Yeah, those are quite lovely, aren't they? :-p Oregon's a bitch to find a job in right now, especially up here on the north side. I'm not sure what the situation is down there, but I imagine it must be somewhat similar.

[☁ ℳisty ℳoonlit ℳemories ☾, Ahh! I can't wait to read the third book!]

Yeah. And I only have two past jobs; one was a summer job in high school, and the most recent was an entire year at a restaurant/family fun center.

[Master of Puppets (I'm pulling your strings)]

Those both show you're good with people, though, or at least make you sound like a promising candidate. That in itself is hugely valuable in the search for a job.

[☁ ℳisty ℳoonlit ℳemories ☾, Ahh! I can't wait to read the third book!]

Yeah, but I also have physical limitations to my work capability because during high school/my last job, I ended up hurting my back really badly and my muscles get really pained. Normally it's just my upper back, but when it's really bad, I can barely walk.

[Master of Puppets (I'm pulling your strings)]

Oh luv! That sucks! :-/ I'm sorry about that. What happened to get your shoulders and back like that?

[☁ ℳisty ℳoonlit ℳemories ☾, Ahh! I can't wait to read the third book!]

There's something wrong with my spinal chord. Normally, the vertebrae have liquid "pockets" between them, but my liquid isn't there in some places, so my bones want to grind together. This causes my shoulder/back/neck muscles to tighten in order to keep the bones where they're supposed to be. Combine that constant happening with physical stress from color guard and work, mental stress from schooling, and emotional stress from a negative home environment and it really fucked me up big time.
I'm not doing a lot of physical activity right now, and I'm not nearly as stressed mentally and emotionally as I was before I moved, but I still get really bad pains every now and then. It's really bad and gets worse in the winter, since the cold makes me shiver which constantly tightens and releases my already worn muscles, ya know?

[Master of Puppets (I'm pulling your strings)]

Ooh, I'm sorry about that. :-/ I have a few other friends who have issues with that, too. Shoulder and back injuries are the absolute worst. Is there something you can do to help with the pain or anything?

[☁ ℳisty ℳoonlit ℳemories ☾, Ahh! I can't wait to read the third book!]

Massages help the most, but they're too expensive for someone with no income.
