Aside from birth….
I’m a bit of a pessimist, but the last few months have been pretty freaking awesome. So lets start with October. I still find myself looking over my shoulder every once in awhile because I still can’t believe the following happened to me, and I’m still waiting for the revenge/payback/prostitution position that is surely waiting for me.
So, anyway, back to the story. [Setting:San Diego, October 2010] So I’m having a particularly awful money day…I have two shitty jobs between which I still can’t get forty hours total, I can’t pay all of my bills in one month, my student loans are defaulting (who’s with me?!), and my landlord for the first time in the year that I’ve lived in that apartment deposits my check on time. So I’m negative in my bank account on top of everything. AND I brought my skateboard to work, but it poured that morning so I was late.
So Sam comes to pick me up from work because she knows I’ve had a {god} awful day. So we skate home, I decide to detour from my usual route, because I didn’t feel like crying in front of strangers, and we end up taking this zigzag roundabout way home. I start to skate ahead and fall in front of the man and woman walking their dog. So I feel stupid and start crying ( I was a really REALLY big pussy this day. I said it!) and just explain that I’ve had an awful day blablabla. So they start asking me all these questions and the dude asks me how much money I need and I say $300 and he says:
” What if I just give you $300 to help you out, and because I can and on the condition that you pay it forward one day when you can?”
eh em.
EH EM!
Excuse me? Why of course I would like 300 dollars but you really dont ha———
And Sam talked me into taking it. Which I eventually did after a quick trip to the bank (0:
So I have some fairy god father or something. Who really likes that movie Pay it Forward I guess. But so do I and I’m going to pay the hell out of that forward! Or something…But anyway, thank you fairy god father! oh and stepfather (0: You are also much appreciated, although that story is less interesting (0:
