the post where i am gobsmacked by how great my friends are

so i've been meaning to make this post for about a week or so, but life kept intruding. and frankly i wanted my mind on it properly, so i could express the depth of my gratitude. sadly, i have realised that i probably don't have the vocabulary for that, but here is me giving it a go.

so cesario called me up a couple weeks ago and told me about her and lizbee's fundraiser plan for me. and then, as predicted, i cried like a wee baby. she only laughed at me a little. but really, this gesture came at a time when life has been hard, financially and personally, and to have so many people come together and offer me a helping hand really just... it means more to me than i can say. some of you know about some of the personal stuff that's been going on these past few months. past year or so, really. being poor and tendonitis and losing my job, and the general difficulty and expensiveness of transitioning and losing the guy that i loved because of it. anyway, the non-detailed story is i've really needed friends, and i feel so privileged to have you all.

so this money you all donated is going to rent, and food, and much-needed health-related things like bloodtests and medication. thank you all so much, especially since i know a lot of you aren't exactly flush at the moment either.






i blurred the names for internet purposes but you can probably deduce where you are on the list given the length of your name and the amount given. also there are a few of you on there who i don't know, and i want to thank you too, for hearing i was in need and throwing in a few dollars. fandom is a pretty great thing.


you've got my everlasting love.

You're welcome, I hope things start looking up soon.

well, the AWESOME job i was interviewing for, at the children's museum, got put on hold. they lost the director of exhibitions and are putting their energies towards filling that position, and don't know when they'll get back to the technician job i applied for. they're in the middle of busy event stuff because of halloween, so i'll be calling them back up early next week, when they've got more time, and hopefully they'll have a vague timeline. but probably not. bugger.

meanwhile, i have been working this past month for a non-profit, trying to get obama elected, and that's been rewarding and excellent, although it ruined my knee again with all the walking. i'll be driving people around for the last four days before the election, though, so hopefully that'll give it time to heal up again. WHY ARE MY TENDONS SUCH DELICATE FLOWERS, EH?
