Nope. 2013 was the worse year ever, between my gran's husband having cancer, me and my bf being attacked in the street (I had to take over a week off from cam), my mother having to move back to Scotland, my bf having medical issues, ongoing legal stuff on Greece. Overall, 2014 has been pretty great!! :-D

They are completely remodeling the apartment next to me and for the last week from 8am-5pm all I here is hammering and drilling, super annoying. It makes it hard to work too, sounds like a war zone! Plus it's stressing out my poor dog :(
The stupid apartment complex should at least take a little bit off my rent for having to put up with all the noise!
Fuckers!

Another thing I am experiencing is that in NUMEROLOGY which I find to be way more valid than Astrology.. Personally this is A number "1"
year for me. So I am starting an entirely new cycle of life ( new chapter). There are 9 years in each cycle. I bought an entire very lengthy numerology report just for fun for one of my xmas presents to myself.. And let me tell you how ACCURATE it was about me from birth til almost 42 now,.. woah!.. Anyways it was 64 bucks and I found it was well worth it..I often go back to it throughout the year to see what's up with me. Here is the site if you are interested in getting your own report. http://numerologist.com/
I was really surprised how worth it, it was.. these sorts of things are really just for entertainment purposes....lol
Maybe its because I am a horse sign, but this year has been the best year I have had in 3 years. I have made more progress towards my goals, had more advances in my life, and gotten way more done then I have in the last 3 years combined, lol. The year of the horse doesn't end until February next year. But every single person I have talked to who is not a horse is saying the same thing "this year went by so fast and i've done nothing it seems". I think it all depends on your sign, on how this year has treated you. But I noticed for some signs that very life-changing things have happened this year.
I fear when the year of the horse is over, I'll admit.

I don't like to complain about what other performers are doing, each to their own, but I am getting ticked over some of the stuff at IML. One of the reasons why I did that site was due to the no nudity in free chat and it seems like now a lot of people are resorting to it and I get all sorts of asshats that get mad and leave chat if they don't get it. I know there are a lot of cheapos on there, which is why I liked the no nudity thing :( In all fairness tho, I do cam on sites that anything goes and do well without getting naked. I guess it is all in the hustle, just frustrated with cheap men making demands, especially without moolah!

I hate this year so far. I haven't been this sick in years, camming is annoying me with all the freeloaders and cam sites cheapening themselves out, personal issues, etc. 2015 better be better.
Plus tonight on cam its deader as fuck and the freeloader are annoying as ever. I need to cam only daytime, it's usually busier and the people are nicer.
Aw, you guys, I am sorry for your losses. :( *HUG* 2014 has been kind of a difficult year, in my opinion.

I've only been camming for the money, and I feel like it's definitely not driving my boyfriend and I closer together... and I don't blame him. I keep debating between quitting or not, but I don't want to be completely broke and dependent on him. :( I don't know what to do...

Camming sucks right now only because I'm not healthy enough to actually get on for long periods of time...still have food poisoning so on the off chance that I'm not nauseous, I get on for about two hours, only to be annoyed by freeloaders and 10 token tips saying "fist pussy bb". Urgh. Wish I could wait longer for the nicer people to find me.

This morning at 11.00 europen time i log on and full of freeloaders i make 45 usd only in one hour omg so bad,i will try to wake up tomorrow at six in the morning for start to work at seven so i can catch american costumer.
The worst about this morning i have a guy who ask me flash tits for free and i get very hungry because i cant understand that and he told me others girls do it!!! And also he told me about gold show and i told i do sometimes and he ask me how much and i told 5 bucks 7-8 minutes and he told me other girls do gold show 1 buck 10 minutes???? The worst i see some girl do it a 1 dolar gold show...10 minutes or 15 minutes

Do not put yourself in the situation of having to rely completely on someone else, just my two cents as someone who had to start all over again. If camming is not something you wish to do, there are other options. Have you tried PSO? Or looked into the industry insight I think it is? There is a laundry list of non-adult work that you can do from home. I don't like to be a Debbie downer but people and relationships change, even the best of them, do not put yourself in a predicament where if he were gone you have nothing and no income.

Camming sucks because I couldn't stay connected on MFC no matter what I tried!
I know it isn't my cam or my connection. I made 20 TOKENS and had to call it quits because my cam wouldn't stop reloading. :(

I just wanna punch somebody in the fucking gut!.. yesterday I got hit with 2 "1" star ratings after spending a whole 2 fucking weeks being sickenly nice and sweet to try to get my ratings up and then I ask my regular to rate me "5" stars and it says he did but my fucking ratings page says I got "1" fucking star... WTF.. I emailed customer service... so now i am down to 4 stars a fucking again.. I have been TRYING to get back to 5 stars for 4 fucking years now!.. It's so fucking discouraging I almost want to fucking quit working there but i can't.. mother fuckers! If I am NOT asexual this surely makes it so!

You know, I'm always bitching about men who take advantage of women and don't care who they hurt, but what angers me way more than that is hearing about "men" who prey on young children. A 10-year old girl that my son is friends with has been molested by someone who knows her family, and she is blaming herself and having emotional problems. :( You just don't know who to trust anymore, and it is sickening.....
That's horrible. The sheer quantity of sick people too...this kind of thing happens sooooo often and these poor babies are traumatized for life. I think about my niece and my soon-to-be-born niece, and omg the thought is unbearable.

I didn't really want to write here again but I'm at a huge loss on SM...
It started out well, now i'm lucky if I get a private in hours. Most of the time I'm watching people popping in an out of an empty room anyways...
I don't want to lower my rates, that shouldn't be the solution (they are 3.99/4.99). But I don't know what else I need than a good connection, interection, high ratings, audio, and a smiling face. I really need a mentor for SM, I really want to work this site out... It's so frustrating..

Top this girls! I get all dressed up to do an exclusive show that a reg of mine had planned for a month and up pops Flo in all her red sea glory! If that wasn't bad enough my connection kept dropping. FUCK isn't it slow enough with the kids all back to school. Grrrr I almost can't wait for fall just to get some money flow back in this household. I have to buy everything for back to school on sale at Walmart and the dollar store! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! Shit better pick up or I will be forced back to doing data entry and fetching coffees for assholes! Boo!!!

I had a major turn around suddenly and got some long sessions. But now I'm staying on to see if I can get past my low goal. I'm still extremely broke right now, so anything I make is awesome.

tonight is worse than last night. I wanna cry I know it could be worse and I know I will make my weekly goal or more but I feel defeated. I'm making more than ever on sm but I'm not on the level I wanna be and it's frustrating. There's a girl who has all the same regulars as me lately she's been doing better than I have. Usually we're ranked about the same or I'm ranked higher I hate not being at the top of my game. I need to lose 8 lbs and improve my show. I just hate that theres a girl who is similar and almost as pretty as me ad has a better body with it being slow I just wanna scream and cry. Ive been hustling harder and and working out but my goals just can't be accomplished fast enough.

Dont know if camming sucks but I suck, cant get myself to log on, and if I can I am barely in free chat and logging out again. I feel without energy and my selfesteem and sexdrive is at 0%. I just cannot force myself to look at myself and touching myself is out of the question... Fuck it sucks to feel like this

yep, me too. the last private i had (last week) i so wasn't into it at all, the guy asked "who's your daddy?" and i rolled my eyes and laughed OUT LOUD at him......i haven't been on cam since. my sex drive seems to have flown out of my butt, along with my sense of humor.

Camming sucks right now........because I should really be on working today but just cannot seem to force myself to sit in free chat talking to these faceless brokeass freeloaders today. It's been sooooo slow since end of July I'm depressed. When u get used to making $55/hr at any given time and then it drops out to $15 the majority of the time....it's like "FUCK ME" I must just suck. I know it's the slow time of year but damn! Only a fraction of my usual traffic on SM. I sat a whole hour with only one show Tuesday when I was on. I Did a gold show that didn't even hit half the goal (did it anyway.....what the hell) and to top it off some fucktard scored me 1 star. I'm just ticked off.
Think I'm gonna try the night shift tonight for a change. I need to do a marathon. I'm so broke. Think it's time to pick up some more "eggs" that's for sure. I still love you Streamates!!!! You've been good to me but pleeeeeeeese make me more money soon!!

Wow there must be something going on, if several of us are feeling this way. My sex drive is also way down and Im having a much harder time signing in to deal with it all.
The struggle is real.
How did you manage to pick yourself up Ivy if I can ask? Normally bike riding fixes this feeling for me, but its pouring rain and will be for the next 3 days here.

Went to the gym and did some cardio and squats with weights. Afterwards I walked through the city for some time and bought myself a chocolat mousse which I Love but almost never eat it - to much sugar and shit. Very smart after working out, but hell should be able to treats youreself once in a while.
Oh and I worked on my moodboard, I have a digital photoframe, and I have put some new inspirational pictures between the excisting ones (pictures of things/vacations which I can achieve if I would work and make money)
So basically trying to clear my mind and release stress and anger (gym), relax (walking, somtimes readinga book indoors when its raining). and getting back motivation (moodboard)

BTW sexdrive still very low here, sucks... Guess ill just have to do a bit more acting-work, Most of the times when I get to hit my lowgoal for the day I am less nervous and start liking -whatever I have to do on that day- some more. I hope its just stress, going to take my vitamins and supplements more regulary though, I havent been that carefull
Glad you are felling better RC

I know I've said it lots of times on here, but nights are still better for me on every site. Pisses me off, because even though most of my regs are on during the day, they don't spend until nighttime. Oh well, it is what it is!

The fact that I can talk myself out of working.
Tonight I was going ot switch up my time.
As I went to get ready for work I realized I had my period. First time in like a fucking year.
Then little wakes up screaming and hard to nurse back to sleep.
Now this horrible heartburn. Ugh.
