Money

aphrodite_mine: two women wearing army hats steal a kiss (random - vintage love)
I need it.

I wrote up a budget where I'm actually saving about $150 a month, but it means only seeing my gf once a week (and eating her food and watching tv), only seeing friends once a week (and eating their food and watching tv), spending less than $10 a week on food (so eating like, bread and jam for lunch? and begging my mom -- who is also broke but generous when it comes to her kids eating -- to feed me other times) and probably, for the first time in my life, not paying bills in full. Not exaggerating -- the thought of not paying my bills in full is GIVING ME HEART PALPITATIONS and I feel like my throat is going to close up.

Not to mention I have to go to the doctor soon ($$) and probably get on new/more meds ($$) so I don't dive headfirst into OCD. [And lets not even talk about how I haven't taken my cat to the vet. Ever.]

(And lest I sound like I am exaggerating... You buying a $1 drabble isn't going to make or break me. I'll be okay. I'm still planning to visit Minneapolis in a month, and I'm not going to cancel my insurance. So if you don't have the money, and have dire-er needs to attend to? Please don't spend money on me. If this stuff sounds appealing, or you have cash literally falling out of your hands and you're like "Oh god what do I even DO with all this money" first of all, who are you, and second of all, I think I know what you can do with that money. Hah. )

I, unfortunately, don't have much to offer but I have to try something. I can't get another job with this variable schedule (other than like babysitting, and believe me, I am trying) and my energy/productivity is usually scraping the bottom of the barrel. But here's what I can offer.

  • Small decorative pillow. Sized roughly 5-6 inches by 5-6 inches. Color of your choice. Can be made to match a room if you provide pictures. $8 for shipping in the US. $10 for outside the US. Add $2 for pillow creature allowing for extra decorations and body features as requested. Pay up front so I can purchase any extra materials.
  • Sock creature. Sized roughly 12 inches high by 4-5 inches wide -- exact measurements depend on creature request. Color of your choice. I have experience making: Generic monster/bear/monkey/rabbit -- $10; Squid/sea monster -- $12 (involves extra time). I can attempt another design and will estimate cost at request. Add $2 for shipping outside the US. Add $1 for "beans" in hands and feet. Pay up front so I can purchase any extra materials.
  • Drabbles. $1-3 for 100-300 words. Please choose from fandoms listed in the top three categories. Pay upon receipt of drabble.
  • Hand-sewn Homestuck logo shirts. $9 for a plain T-shirt, $11 for a modified shirt (cut sleeves, cut neck). Add $2 for sizes above XL and $2 for shipping outside the US. Pay up front so I can purchase any extra materials.
  • Podfic. $5 for anything up to 3,000 words. $2 per additional 1,000 words. Pay upon receipt of podfic. Note: I will not podfic any non-con. Also, if I am triggered by the material, I reserve the right to decline your request.
  • Something else you want? Ask, and I'll estimate if I can do it and what it would cost.


A requested donation button. You can use this to pay for something you'd like, or if you're more comfortable with a straight donation... just indicate that I guess. *hearteyes*
