I mean that in a literal sense, a lot has happened since my last journal. I have a new kitten everyone loves (except for my other cat, Merrick) and his name is Valthien. He is precious but has a really bad cold...we don't have the money to take him to the vet and so for now do the best we can with what we have. He loves the smell of pizza, likes sleeping just in the crook of your neck, and has an attitude of "whatever" to everything. He is a very relaxed kitten, but he does play sometimes which is good.

Merrick is curled up beside my laptop right now as I am typing this, rubbing his head on my arm. I know he loves the free roam he gets here at my Grandmother's. Oh, I guess I should explain how I ended up here, huh? Long story short, I saved Valthien and hid him from Todd, my ex step father I was living with before. When I approached him about it, he completely turned the conversation from the cat to my faults as a person. After a large fight, it ended up with the agreement of "Get out of my house now!" "With pleasure!" kind of emotion. I left that night and fled here with both cats. My grandmother was a little edgy about another cat but Valthien is the most lovable little guy, she excepted his presence quickly - as did everyone. He was a hit at my Grandmother's 50th Anniversary Party, along with my brilliant significant other. I am very pleased he was granted the family approval stamp - I would have hated to be a rebel all over again. Disowning someone's family can be a tad troublesome.

As most of you have noticed there is a new dragon that has appeared in my artwork recently by the name of Benu. He was appropriately designated to the love in my life Stephen and now has taken a place with Shinju at the top of my journal, tada!

All the good and somewhat inconvenient situations aside though I am a pretty deep hole right now. A lot of crazy crap went down with my bank account long before this and now I am probably 80-90 in the hole there. In addition I have a ticket that needs to be paid asap (someone remind me in a comment to call the courthouse, I'll forget but I check my messages everyday) and it putting a damper on my pocket and my future insurance crisis. My mother wants my head on a platter by now, even though she forgets she owes me $139 for books, she never did pay me for the garage I cleaned in the first place...and I could have sworn there was something else...regardless...my future credit hangs in the balance of whether she will hurry up and pay me back even though I have been reminding her since the debt came up which was a month ago at least. Instead she's on a cruise with her boyfriend and won't be back until the following weekend. Lovely little trench I have to climb out of, huh? Anyone want to toss me a rope?

So that's about where I stand - I am broke, once again without insurance(with my pain making a marvelous come back, I might add. Go agony!), dancing on the edge of debt and unpaid ticket which I physically lost, plus I have no idea what I will do about school next semester. But on the plus side I have a new cat and deliriously in love - meh...it'll work out...I hope.
