GOOD NEWS: I finally got my hands on this coat from Express in teal!
BETTER NEWS: I used a coupon that I got in the mail to save on the price!
BAD NEWS: It was only $30 that I saved off the price, so I still ended up paying around $151 for this with tax.
WORSE NEWS: I used my dad's credit card that he originally gave me to buy my schoolbooks. He was all right with it, but I still felt bad about it (I've been having lots of money issues that encompass both the tangible...thing...of having money, and then psychological guilt/worry over people spending money on things for me and me not having anything myself to pay with...did that make sense?).
WORST NEWS: I somehow gotcoerced suckered into signing up for Express' credit card program by an overly friendly saleslady. I could've saved 15% on my coat if I used it, but I'm having enough issues trying to pay off my Chase credit card, for fuck's sake. Gonna have to cancel this account, oy.
SLIGHTLY BETTER NEWS: I bought two more obnoxiously colored cotton dresses from Kohl's on clearance for use around the house. I was going to use my dad's credit card again, but they wouldn't let me use it because I wasn't the owner of it, so I used my debit instead.
REALLY FUCKING FANTASTIC NEWS: For both obvious and not-so-obvious reasons, I've been recently looking into finding places/events at which I can perform live. The dear and lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mia_noire has just mentioned to me that, at the Borders she works at, they allow musicians to sign up for a slot of an hour or two where they can perform in the cafe, either original work or song covers. Monetary compensation is likely to be little to nothing at all, but if I can get the experience of performing in a venue that I could be comfortable in, that would be great to just start with. I found a site called openmikes.org, but I really didn't want to just show up at some random place to get up there and perform. Playing at the Borders where Emily works would be better for my frazzled, n00bie nerves.
