First of all I gotta say that I HATE doing this.
Hate hate hate hate HATE.
This year I came to the sad conclusion that for the first year since 2002, I was not going to Otakon.
Last time I had troubles with Otakon, I asked people for help getting there, and I got it. I'm eternally grateful to them for that, but I decided that this year it was time to be a grownup and accept the fact that I can't always get what I want.
So I reluctantly accepted my inability to make my yearly journey to the lovely city of Baltimore and see many of my friends. And I promised myself that this time I WOULD NOT ASK for help.
Oh the irony, because as soon as I made that decision for myself, I came just a hair short of being kicked out of my mother's house.
She works nightshift, so she was gone when I got home last night from celebrating independence day with my friend and her family. My mother had changed the security codes and left a sign on the door saying that I wasn't allowed in her house. I ended up having to drive 30 minutes back to my friend's place to crash on an air mattress.
I came back to the house to confront my mother when she got home from work. I managed to bargain around her sudden eviction, but I am fully aware that she WILL probably do this again, and at some point, I have to say: fuck this, I'm out.
I have been trying to find a job all summer, but haven't even been called for an interview.
Again, I HATE doing this....but I REALLY need some financial help so I can start saving for an apartment. ._. If there is anything - ANYTHING, even a quarter! - you can spare, I would appreciate it. You can send donations via paypal to prismaya@gmail.com .
I'm also always accepting commissions. There's still one more I need to do, but then I'm completely open to new ones. send me a note or something and we can get things started. Prices are on my website, or you could simply confirm them with me.
Whatever you can do, I will appreciate.
Thank you.

Damn... you got it as bad as me. I'll try and pull some strings around my own finances and see if I can help. Just keep trying for a job, you'll find one, and in the mean time, try and appeal to your moms kinder side so that you don't lose your place to stay before you have the money, cause staying at a friends house while you look will make you feel worse in the end than staying at your moms.
I wish you luck and will try and see what I can do to help you.

Well crap. Even though I never comment on your work (I still look at it mind you; I just have nothing to add that hasn't already been said. But I digress), i'm still a fan of your work. I know when things take priority and i'm not about to go walking away from something like this. Expect some cash from me in the near future.
I'm in the same boat. I made the decision not to attend otakon, but i wanted to so bad. I had so much planned, included a dinner with Vic from FMA and possibly with the Con directors. Cause of work and money restraints, not to mention stress, I had to be the adult and not go. I was hoping to see you this year, with the rest of the Fireball crew.
Also, it's looking like I'm about to be kicked out of the place I'm staying because of minor things. I'm trying to save money and stay out the way but they seem to want me to do the opposite and piss me off in the process. Not to mention to turn me against my friend or make me make him feel guilty. Regardless, we are going to have to move soon, in order to keep our sanity.
