This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time

Time:	2:26 pm.
Mood:	tired.
Music:	modest mouse.

I've worked a little bit of everywhere it seems like.
Well not really, mostly retail jobs.

Let's see:
1999-2000 - U R Cooks (hostess 16 years old) SUCKED
2003-2003 - Eagle Wood Golf Course (Cart Barn Crew) The older employees SUCKED
2003-present - Hot Topic (sales associate) People are cool, pay + hours SUCK
2003-2004 - Fantasy (sales associate) The owner is a dick.
2005 - Spencer's (sales associate) The manager was a bitch.
2005-current? - Barnes and Noble Booksellers (cafe) Decent, no tips sucks though.
2006-current? - Starbucks (partner) Stressful. Misleading?

We're just a couple of poor kids, trying to build a future for ourselves.
I'm not starving but I don't really eat very healthy either.
Saving up for a $2000 camera.

If I did this right, I just made a donation button.
Yeah kinda cheap, but trust me I won't be using any donations to buy booze, porn, and moonpies, it's strictly a new camera fund which goes to aiding my future career.
Plus, the sooner I get this camera, the sooner I can put some new work up!

So... desperate attempt here.

My birthday is October 5th.
I need $1000 by then to get the new Nikon D200 camera.
Even like, twenty cents would help.
So if anyone wants to help me out a bit, I would seriously appreciate it.
I may even bake you cookies and mail them out or something if you give me an address and let me know you did it.
Or I dunno make you a mix cd? A big thank you mix cd?
One of my photos? (Not of me but of my work of course!)

So yeah, if anyone is willing to help, I'd be way grateful!
