So...yeah...school ends on May 24th, which is a (painfully dull) week from today. I'm really looking forward to school being out...I got a job a few days ago. :) I'm working at one of the local McDonald's (don't hate. It's money. XD)...actually, it's the same one my boyfriend works at. He had a lot of pull in my getting hired. I start working on Tuesday. I actually won't be working, though...I'm actually just getting paid to fill out a 4" stack of paperwork for potentially five hours. xD So on Tuesday I'll rack up something like $35 just filling in boxes and things...I'll probably only get 3/4 of that considering taxes on it and stuff though. But whatever. MONEY!

Finding a job hasn't been all sugar and rainbows, though. I found out I got the job this past Tuesday, and I made the mistake of telling my grandmother. She wasn't happy for me, didn't celebrate with me, anything like that. She just said "Oh, that's nice." and kept talking about her problems. Wednesday she decided to tell me that I could start paying for things. I didn't mind that because I knew I'd end up paying for something because they (my grandparents) said so as long as I continued living with them. She proceeded to tell me that she expected me to finish paying for my cell phone, pay my cell phone bill every month, pay for the utilities, pay for my insurance (even though they won't put me on their plan, wtf), AND pay her rent. She wants $200-$250 from me every month.

I would like to mention that when I turned eighteen, she had told me that as long as I was in high school and living with them, I didn't have to pay for anything. I just had to focus on my education and once I graduated, if I decided to keep living with them, I had to start paying rent. I got a job and she basically went "Lol. Nope."

Minimum wage in Idaho is $7.25/hour. I'm going to be shooting to work 30-40 hours during the summer, and with that pay, I'll make approximately $400 every two weeks. At 40 hours, about $550. I'm currently saving up so that when my boyfriend turns eighteen, we can move in together. We actually have made plans to move in on his birthday so that I can get away from my grandparents sooner. I can't do that if I'm signing my paychecks to them.

I think I may end up getting kicked out. I told her I wasn't going to be paying for all their shit along with mine, especially where they make over $3,000/month by social security. And I know they never spend it all paying bills and buying gas. In the last month they've bought a new camper, a new treadmill, leather sofas and a matching loveseat...not cheap stuff. I had planned on buying my own groceries to take the burden off of them a little bit, but good god...I didn't sign up for this. Anyway, I told her I wasn't going to do that, and...let's just sum it all up by saying that there is a very good chance that I will be homeless tomorrow.

They're empty now, but hopefully that'll change.

:bulletblack:WARNING:bulletblack:

You are about to enter a dangerous land called My Mind, where crazed ideas run rampant like school children on caffeine and steroids. The dominant species of My Mind's delicate, ruthless ecosystem consist of Final Fantasy 13, Hope Estheim, Lightning Farron, Len Kagamine, Vocaloid in general, and Nabari no Ou. The Hunger Games, Kuroshitsuji, Naruto crack, Lost, and the X-Files roam this wild land as well, occasionally preying on the hundreds of smaller fandoms and interests, but extinction is impossible. Each fandom gives birth to hundreds of new ideas every day, only half of which manage to jump the chasm into the word processor or digital canvas.

Okay, enough of that bullshit. XD

My name's Mercedes, I'm 17, and let me set this straight -

While I appreciate, draw and watch/read anime and manga, don't mistake me for an obsessed fangirl. I do have favorite shows and series, and I have been known to release a high-pitched squeal when I absolutely love something, but I also appreciate things other than what would typically be considered to be anime. Example: The Hunger Games. Anti-Twilight. Lost. Photography.

I am an avid writer, and I post mainly fanfiction here. I love drawing, and I'm trying to improve my style during my time here. :D

My buddy, with whom I take poorly-contemplated walks to the nearest grocery store in 100+ degree heat: ~Invisible-Panda :iconinvisible-panda:

Mah brutha frumma nutha mutha: *VocalHeroics :iconvocalheroics:

The Kaoru Hitachiin to my Hikaru Hitachiin: ~firestarter813 (tbh, I still don't know if we're related or not. xDD)

I take writing requests for:

Final Fantasy X, XIII, and XIII-2
Nabari no Ou
Naruto (even though I hate the series xD)
Vocaloid
Ouran High School Host Club
Kuroshitsuji
Fullmetal Alchemist
Loveless(I'm a little rusty, though)
Kimi ni Todoke
Vampire Knight
Fruits Basket
DNAngel
Junjou Romantica/Egoist/Terrorist

The Hunger Games
Lost
The X-Files
Alice in Wonderland

I am not entirely comfortable writing yuri - unless it's LukaxRin from Vocaloid. XD I am perfectly fine writing clear up to smut for yaoi and het. However, I do not write anything with foreign objects - aside from idk, fuzzy handcuffs. If you've got any elements you'd like me to throw in a fanfiction like that that are NOT bondage, outright rape, or anything involving chains and whips or anything like that, let me know and I will do what I can to throw that in. I've got a few screws loose and I like some things I probably shouldn't, so if it's something you reeeeeallly want, I'll try to negotiate with you. :)
