Had a great first hour, got my hopes up, and then it completely crashed and burned. I made $2 in an hour. =/
I'm gonna try to log on as early as possible tomorrow because SM seems better in the early morning these days.

I have been pretty annoyed with my indie efforts lately. It seems like there's a huge influx of girls trying to go indie since Streamate has less paying traffic than usual. A lot of them are so desperate for money they'll sit around and chat with guys (or so my clients have been telling me). I have way too many contacts to sit around and kick the shit. I don't mind a brief amount of small talk here and there, but I feel like more than that is guys taking advantage. I think there are a lot of newer girls who have been chatting and giving away mass content for cash because they need the money. That's fine and all, but it does effect other girls (like myself).
I'm just annoyed because a lot of girls seem to think indie is a golden goose. They charge silly low rates like $1-2/min, with NO minimum time. Essentially they are looking to make the same amount that they made on Streamate, but they are forgetting that indie does not have the same traffic as Streamate so that silly low rate doesn't go as far.
It seems to be changing because last I checked CMD most of the top girls had the same rates as me. NiteFlirt with cam has changed to about the same, but there's still some guilty parties. At least it's not as bad as it was a few months ago. I do think the chatting on Skype with clients needs to stop. There used to be a Skype etiquette clients would follow. Now that girls are desperate for cash, they're willing to break some rules so they think it has changed across the board. It's super annoying.

Slow nights on cam makes me reconsider camming! every once in a while i get the worst days ever that i won't be able to make $5 in 2 or 3 hours! the problem is that its not just a "slow night" man its slow days in a row. today a user came to my room and said why would you be a cam model if you're only making few tips. -.- it annoyed the shit out of me i almost cry idk why but yeah slow nights SUCK.

Camming sucks because I know I need to sign on
But I got my philtrum pierced last night (medusa) and it's super fucking swollen and I look like big Ang and not in a good way. (Sorry, Ang, bb, you know I love ya)
Does someone want to come punch me in my bottom lip so at least they match? It seriously looks like I have a beak.
I HAVE SO MUCH BULLSHIT TO DO
By bullshit I mean customs
Easy customs, even, kinda.
I just
ugh.
I'm telling everyone my name is Ang tonight.

I was a body piercer for years before doing the cam thing. Few things to help, tons of ibuprofen. Not tylenol or aleve, it has to be ibuprofen for the anti inflammitory properties. Don't drink from straws, at all! And sip on cold water as much as possible. Not to worry though they love the full lips thing lol

I am ONLY making money from regulars on SM, and it's been like that for awhile. Time to move on, because if I'm going to just be making $$ from a few guys I'd rather have them see me on indy sites and get the majority of the profits...::)

It is a catch 22. If you stay on without any privates your cam score or time in pad ranking drop you down in placement = thus less advertising to potential clients. But if you stay on you never know when one hour you make $6 and the next you make $132. Brutal, brutal, brutal It is really the shits when everything is going right and the stream website crashes RIGHT in the midst of you making money. For Pets sake. Or everything is going fine and then you get ready to get on you cam shift and your fucking eyes or face swell to the size of oranges.
Are the cam gods trying to tell me to move on with my life or is this temporary? Nov has historically been good the past 2 years. I changed up everything as to not get stale, fuck maybe I should go back to my short, straight blonde instead of my long brown curls... crimminy I don't know. I am going to take some blame here though on my ranking... I got spoiled with my placement and became haphazard logging in only 20 the entire month of Oct, totally my fault.
I am going to clean the house and see if it is bad energy :-) Do so meditation, drink some nectar of the gods (wine) go get my sexy and at the very least try to have some fun.

On MFC. Fifty cents in two hours. I'm so bored and done with this site I've given up on them, hour three I'm just eating cocoa puffs and playing on tumblr. ETA: kind of want to put my pajamas on but then the ageplay people will find me... I don't necessarily object to ageplay I just want it a million miles away from me personally.

I do not wanna talk about my dating life or lack therof .. or how many dates I have been on , or if anyone will ever marry me.. ugggh.. I had to log off.. it just so incessant.... they just sit around acting like they are interested talking and not spending money.. god please make them treat me like a sex object.. that's what I really , really want after all!...LOL
I never realized how much having free chat conversations really stressed me out!.. I hate it!.. never leads to anything good..

I'm going to take this opportunity to bitch about my roommates again... forgive me!
Every time my roommates come home it turns into Grand Central Station... dogs barking, doors banging, feet stomping, going in and out 500 times. One minute it's quiet then bam! Gotta listen to people shuffle around like they've got bricks for feet for the rest of the night.
I absolutely hate that my landlord/roommate has a security system that SHOUTS either "FRONT DOOR!" "BACK DOOR!" and "GARAGE DOOR!" every flipping time someone opens a door. She's pissed that I didn't tell her I was a smoker when I moved; not that it's her business as it doesn't affect her. I'm pissed she didn't tell me she would have a screaming machine going off sporadically 24/7. Guess we're even!
Oh and the parking is the WORST. There are two spaces in the driveway, the other two are on gravelly grassy terrain behind the mailbox. Naturally, my roommates occupy the driveway spaces first, every single time. What's unfair about this is that nobody pays extra for driveway parking.. ya know, like everyone else who is in a shared living situation does. When I first moved in, they hinted that THEY got the driveway parking and that I needed to park on our mini Nob Hill. Screw that. It's first come, first serve in my mind. I park in the driveway now when there is a space available. Nobody has bitched because they realize that getting parking spaces by 'seniority' is not how it's done in the adult world.
It just sucks here; I dread coming 'home.' I really feel the disdain my landlord has for me, so tired of it.

I am so so so so annoyed.
Last week my computer's hardware got broken so i had to bring it to a technician and fix it.
After it is fixed i think my computer started to act weird. It won't let me download my Yahoo no matter how many times i had tried.
And now i cannot work well for many days because my firefox keep crashing. For some reason Google Chrome is too slow for me. I don't know why. But yeah it really annoys me especially because i am in good mood to work. My mood to work is back but every time a customer is coming it crashes.

Ugh, right? I got on about 2:30 EST and it was great for the first hour, and then all of a sudden it was ghost town! I hit my soft goal so I logged off because the only people in my room were beggars and free loaders. I Hope your night improves! Maybe tomorrow will be better :/

I don't know what the hell is happening to streamate.It's been dead to me for 2 weeks!
I've made last week 160$ with an average of 5,5 hours online.
This week I already had 2 days online with 6 hours first day and an amazing amount of 13$ and yesterday i've made 9$ in 5 hours.I would have stayed 6 but couldn't take it anymore.
I really don't know what to do more.
Ifriends sucks it too.Dropped as well.
On sm freechat is so damn SILENT! i mean SILENT!
only guys pooping in and out of the room.Sometimes i stay with the room empty for a few entire mintes! now THAT's an AWFUL time!:-[

I made fourteen dollars past my goal and didn't have to stay online all night! I need the money for new glasses and contacts, so I was prepared to be online as long as necessary. You know you're having a bad night when you practically beg someone to get you to your goal.

I hate complaining but seriously, WTF Streamate?! It's been SO fucking slow in the daytime. today I have a low goal that normally would be no problem at all, a couple hours and bam I'd be done. But I feel like it's going to take ALL DAY LONG to reach it. If I can make it at all.
