(no subject)
This post comes in three parts. They'll be under a cut, because they're long.
Oh man. Talk about rain. x_x This morning, me and my friends had a plan. Gather at Chris' as soon as possible to play the brand new Rock Band 2. While waiting for Tyler, we get a text from Steph, who was talking to him online. His basement got an inch of water. However, nobody told us it was just that much, just that his basement had flooded.
I had left my Xbox 360 in his basement.
So you can imagine my reaction. Not two minutes after getting that message, me and Chris were already out the bloody door and racing to his house to help out. Thank GODDESS for Chris' paranoia about static electricity ruining gaming systems on the floor. We put a book under it (which was ruined), so my Xbox was UNTOUCHED. The power brick was...well, it now makes a weird 'sloosh sloosh' noise when you tip it. Needless to say, I need a new one. However, my 360 is juuust fine...which I'm VERY happy about.
Sad though...I'd left my Valkyrie Profile helm on the floor behind his tv...so it was completely ruined. T_T I wanted to remake it...but...damn. That was sucky. A few other minor things of mine were waterlogged and beyond saving, but they weren't things I really cared about. Some of Tyler's things weren't salvageable, but they were minor, for the most part. All his electronics are A-OK, so he's fine. He has to move upstairs to his sister's room for the next few months, but...yeah. Most of the books Steph let him borrow got destroyed...which was really sad... x_x She seems to be okay though, so that's good.
So everyone tromped over to Tyler's and helped him move stuff out of the basement and clean stuff up in his room (eaugh...messy messy mess...) It took. SIX HOURS. ...WAT?
SECOND PART!
I'm flat broke. In fact, I owe the bank $40. And I don't have gas money and I'm running on empty... This is going to be an interesting week... Also, my parents don't know that I'm out of money. They still think that I have a nice $100 cushion. ...yeah...they will NOT be happy to hear that I won't be able to pay them for car insurance or make my phone bill...
So I'm not looking forward to that. I hate being poor...
THIRD PART!
I'm REALLY hoping to get this job at GameStop. Three of the guys that work in the store I want to work at (including the manager!) want me to work there. They would have hired me already if not for how I left the mall store. Shit. Stupid, stupid me. T_T So I have to wait to see if I get hired after Game Stop's HR makes it's decision on whether or not I get the BanHammer. x_x;;;
Here's to hoping I get hired! n_n;; I'm gunna get back to Rock Banding it up, so I'll hopefully post again soons. <3
