Yea I don't think I can even do my hours today.. it's pretty fucking ludicrous.. I made less than $40 bucks I think!.. everyone is haggling with me tipping ridiculous small amounts in hopes I am as desperate as they are.. ... guys whining their check didn't go on auto deposit.. I don't give a fuck!
Luckily I made enough money and then some to pay the bills before today's shitty shit bullshit.. I don't wanna work for free today.

Yesterday and today have been dead on SM! I don't know if its me, or because I stopped using OBS because I can't get the settings right after formatting or what. Is there better sites to be working on right now?

Ugh for real. I thought it was just me...but then I check here and lots of girls seem to be having issues. DO NOT LIKE.

Camming sucks right now because chaturbate revoked my age verification. I now have to resubmit all my documents and wait a day or 2 for their lazy asses to get them verified. All because I am asian and look younger. WTF. :( LJ and SM are both useless, earning $2 in 4 hours. great.

I've been kinda bummed out lately due to Cam Model Directory having limited to no traffic. I used to be a top model on there, now it's just not the same. I really loved sitting at Skype and making a $24/hr minimum, $60+/hr maximum. I've joined lovehook's site, but it doesn't seem to have much traffic either. (No offense to lovehook, I'm sure it will pick up!) It just sucks in the meantime. I'm on NiteFlirt, I have a top listing for Phone with Cam, but it's still so slow for me. I wish I knew what was causing it. I haven't gained any weight, I haven't changed anything, I've been just as friendly as ever.
I know I'm complaining about nothing, I'm still making great money. I just feel like I have to work harder to make it, and I may have to add more sites into my belt. I know it just feels slow. My hourly has only gone down by a couple dollars. Boo ho. I just wish things were like the golden days on Cam Model Directory. I just don't like sitting around in free chat because I'm a money addict, and when people aren't paying me I look depressed. I know I have a problem. It's such a silly problem, but it is an issue for me.
I feel like I tie so much of my self worth into how much money I make and it's sad. I go to bed depressed if I don't do everything on my insanely long list and then make hundreds on top of it. It's getting so bad that I can't even look myself in the mirror unless I've made $30/hr minimum for every single hour. Sometimes I want to work ten or twelve hours a day. I really hate myself when I go to sleep. I want to make more. I want to work harder, but then I overwhelm myself and it's a cycle. If I'm not careful I will stop spending time with my fiance and I'll just work non stop all day. I've been trying to be patient, slow and steady wins the race. I just feel like I'll never win. Even making high dollar amounts make me feel like I should do better. I'm really hard on myself, I really beat myself up all the time. The worst part is I have no one to talk to, no one who understands. My fiance is tired of hearing about it. I'm tired of feeling like this. I don't know where to get help.
That being said, I guess I'm going to try and condense my time. I'm going to work ~2 hours a day on just videos. I'm going to work for an hour working out. I clearly need to loose a little. I'm also going to have several promotional tactics going on at a time. I think a few phone sex sites, several Skype sites, and a streaming site with a break button will maximum my earnings in a short period of time. Maybe then I can spend 80% of my time in paid chat and log out with as much as I want to make in four hours.

I hate wasting money. Printer ink is NOT cheap, and of course my Epson printer would go and die (I guess that's the right word for it?) on me after I've recently bought/replaced the ink. So I guess the next time I NEED to print something, I have to make a special trip to the public library to do so. *sigh*

Technology officially hates me. My phone decides it's randomly going to shut off and not turn on. Of course I didn't notice for awhile and missed 3 pso calls!!!! So annoyed! Had to call Comcast, bc my 3 day old new "lightening fast" internet was going in and out. Then yahoo decides to have a meltdown and I can't access my email in order to finish signing up with SM. What's next? Is the crockpot going to take a shit? I have to head to the pawn shop bc I need quick cash, and this day is just already a bitch.
Edit: Apparently I've been under a rock all weekend, and yahoo mail is down due to an underwater cable being severed. Fabulous.

Most of the time it is cheaper to buy a whole new printer than to buy the ink, I actually read that somewhere and they are RIGHT!

I'm so sick of people with their hands out. I've only told two people in my real life that I dance. And they are not people that I see frequently. However, one of them feels as if it's okay to just ask me for money. And I'm talking about huge sums of money like over 900 dollars. And then when I get upset they want to tell me that that "it's easy money for you and I've always been here for you". That really made me mad. So now I'm officially done telling people what I make since no one can be happy for me. Sheesh! Dancing isn't rocket science but it's not just the easiest thing inthe world. People swear all we do is walk in the club and people throw thousands at us. NO! And even if that was the case, if you want money get up off your ass and go make it. Don't fucking ask me for money like I'm an ATM machine. Sick of people with their greedy hands out.
And I'm so sick of stupid regulars that come in the club and don't but anything! Like I can accept if I'm not your type but really? You're in here just watching girls and can't even come off a dollar? SMFH

As someone who holds herself to unrealistic standards of success as well -- the one thing I've learned that has helped a little is to set more realistic but still 'competitive' goals. What I used to do was try to reach my highest goal number every day which would make me want to throw myself in front of bus every time I failed. To stop feeling that roller-coaster of highs & lows I started trying to focus on goals such like, "Okay, I've made an average of this much money every Wednesday for the last four weeks. I am going to try and beat that average."
If you are anything like me, then it isn't just the money that pushes you....it is also that awesome feeling when you complete a goal.
I hope that made any sense at all. It is always so hard to explain things like this. Even if nothing of my advice is useful to you then hopefully I can just let you know that you aren't alone. There are some people out there that get it. :)

My roommate moved in with me a couple of months ago after being evicted. She brought bed bugs with her. I threw her bed out and I have sprayed my bed, the couch, the entire living room, and my my bed room many times. Every 2 weeks I find another bug and start waking up with bites again. This is embarrassing. I keep my apartment clean and I mean REALLY CLEAN like spotless! and yet I am dealing with bed bugs!! ugh! I did some google searching and apparently it's not filth they are attracted to it's the carbon dioxide you breathe out. I'm going to have to ask my landlord to bring in an exterminator and hope it works. I honestly do not think I can permanently rid myself of this problem on my own.

CHEAP SCRUB ASS MEN.
This guy I recently was chatting with was telling me how the last woman he dealt with (friends with benefits) actually got her car repoed cause she lost her job. He said he BORROWED her money down payment to get the car, and she was REQUIRED to pay it back. Naturally, he didnt make not a 1 payment to stop her car from being TOOK. I mean, I can't blame him completely, her standards are way TOO LOW.
BUT
Ive blocked him ASAP ( how TF did I attract someone so fine and CHEAP anyway?:O whatever). We cant even become FRIENDS with this mindset.
I hate to even hear stories like that!
Seriously. To imagine her bustin it WIDE open, AND he requires women to go dutch on dates (wait, what?????????). :-\:OLOL
SO all in all she may as well have been a cam model!8)
1) a job
2) wouldn't have lost her car
3) would CUM much more than he could have ever made her!
SAD case... I hate to hear women taking this treatment, when YOU'RE a DIAMOND!
I could throw up!
Been takin green only for years, and this is WHY I will continue.

Saw this thread and figured I would comment, because I'm in a pissy mood and need somewhere to yell about it. Nothing pisses me off more than when I'm having a great day after putting lots of effort into being positive (which is rather hard for me sometimes) and my boyfriend comes home from work and ruins it. It seems like, right when he gets home from work, he feels the immediate need to start talking about what I didn't finish around the house that day, or how awful his job is, or stupid questions about things he knows I would rather not talk about. Once I get pissed off, he makes it a point to want to continue the conversation that never should have started in the first place. When I'm mad at someone, and I ask them to leave me alone, it means go. Go away, even if just for 5 minutes, maybe less, then come back and we can revisit the conversation, if needed. It was a huge thing in my house as a young girl that people should have time to calm down if they are heated to avoid the argument escalating and people saying things they don't mean, which I have a tendency to do. (Come to think of it now, I believe that rule may have been made up just for me.) I tell my boyfriend to get out of my face, leave me for 5 minutes, and he doesn't. According to his step mom, it's because of his "mommy issues", where he thinks when I leave when I'm angry that I am not going to come back, or that I'm going to do something stupid. Which is never the case. I just need to calm the eff down. GAH. So annoyed right now.

Yup, this must be like the 3rd or 4th printer I've gone through since living here. And I most likely won't be buying a new one until sometime in the new year, because right now I have waaaaay too many other things (more important things) I need to pay for right now. Plus with Christmas being a month away...yeah, that new printer's gonna have to wait.

You'll have to call an exterminator. The hubs is an exterminator, and he says they are nearly impossible to get rid of on your own once they've taken over the house. Whatever you are spraying, you have to spray under that black or white muslin piece that is staple gunned to the bottom of couches or box springs. The bedbugs hide in there. You have to bag everything up for like 3 days I think to suffocate them ( clothes, linen) and then wash in super hot water. All companies have their own methods, but this is just what I've heard listening to him talk shop. I've also heard of borax and hot water being used to scrub the mattress and furniture.

OMFG SM get your shit together... I normally don't like bitching... but I think today was one of the worst glitchy days I've had on there in the past 4 years. A guy was not able to start Ex while on iPad, i had like a wall of the same names in & out trying to stay but they kept getting booted, I kept jumping from page 1 to page 3. I made half my goal tonight in +4 hours. How can they allow this stupidity to keep happening? It's giving me flash backs to that bad spell they had two years ago when the gold shows kept crashing & they denied it. :O
