The Scarlet Letter

No more Saturdays for me. Almost 3 1/2 hours split camming and only made 10 dollars. Oh well it's 10 dollars more than I had before.

So I live with my cousin and her girlfriend. I finally got a good laptop, got all set up for splitcamming, I am ready to go. Make $36 in my first 20 minutes, totally stoked, one of my slaves is all ready for a block session, it's a good night so far. So yeah then my cousins GF decides to slam doors and start screaming at 1 in the morning because, reasons. They got in a fight because my cousin fell asleep while they were watching a movie. So for the past hour it has been non stop screaming and slamming shit around, meanwhile I can't work and I am losing money. On top of that I am trying to move April 1st, and when I asked if I could have a couple more weeks she got super weird about it like no she wants me gone. (She has some kind of issue with me, I haven't been able to get her to talk about what that issue is other than my cousin says I do things that make her feel disrespected. Sure would love to know what those things are as I walk on eggshells around her so as never to piss her off.) So that makes a lot of sense, throw a hissy fit when I am trying to work so I can move according to HER timeline. I even heard my cousin try to shush her and say she is being disrespectful as I am trying to work. She just screamed that it is not her problem and it is her house so she will do whatever the fuck she wants. So she is on a rampage, meanwhile I'm just sitting here biting my tongue as to not get in her face as I plan to be out in 10 days anyways.

Anon camgirl -1-I didn't quote all your posts(read all of them, I promise) cuz I'm not sure how much room I'd have to offer advice and 2-my auto correct changed your name to anon campfire-hopefully that at least makes you smile? My advice?
-Have you tried the stylers that aren't electric, but the metal kind that heat up in a round metal thing? The temperatures run higher, just make sure you use a heat protectant.
-Definitely recommend lace front wigs.
-Try a layered cut to keep the length but tone down the volume and draw attention from the curls to the length?
-Pull hair back and put it TWO clip in pony tails to cover the bulk of your real hair underneath?
I have very straight, very black hair that won't hold a curl no matter what. I bleached it to literally white for ten years, so I know a bit about extensions and uncooperative hair. Hope this kind of helped?

One of my pso companies has been down for almost a week.(Thank God for other 'baskets')
I was just ready to quit them anyway. They never put up my profile pix, bio, and schedule for the 2 plus years I've worked there.
Last month they threatened to fire me for never sending them my info. Huh?.Wtf are you talking about?
After resenting everything...TWICE, and them claiming they never got it...I'm done.
Karma is getting them back. They aren't making any money while the site is down.
I just hope I get paid.

There is no love nor money out there for me today. I have made $7 (that's about £4 after conversion and bank fee) in ONE show in 4 hours. AW and SM are dead. Getting just a handful of popping in/out every ten mins. Most of them don't want to talk. Not even "stupid annoying shit" is happening. Bored beyond bored.
Posting this rant in the hope it gets the crap feelings out of me and turns my fortunes around.
EDIT - no, it got worse. Much worse. The guys started talking, but it was to insult and abuse me. Haven't heard some of those words since school. And apparantly I need to go kill myself cos I'm so ugly (count 3 guys so far). That's it for me tonight. Excrement heads.

Sorry to hear that.. my grandma died in 1999 and I hate life without her pretty much everyday.. I am a carbon copy of her.. it's nice to have relatives who are just like you and when they are gone.. you feel pretty alone.

I'm annoyed that I walked to this Redbox location, and the new Hunger Games movie is sold out at both of the machines. I got a free rental Redbox code, and was all hyped about watching it TONIGHT. *sigh*

Being all friendly and following fellow cammodels on twitter and then getting myself blocked from another cammodel for doing such. Like... I don't get it. I don't piss anyone off. I keep the peace. To each her own I guess...

When you are blocked on twitter, i don't think you can message them. I didn't know her too well. Just found it odd because so many models have been nice and communicating on twitter. I didn't know her too well to really ask her. I just found it weird because we are nowhere near the same niche or have the same following.

Maybe she blocked you on accident. I had a sub block me once (I think?) for following him back. Ah, you never know.

Yeah, but I'd have to pay $4.99 to rent it on Amazon. The whole point was for me to use my 'free Redbox rental' code to see it for free.
I just saw it, by the way. It was just okay. Definitely not a movie I plan on purchasing. I'm definitely buying The Revenant on April 19th though. EXCELLENT movie.

Oh, that's cool that u get free rental. The red box where I now live gets vandalized. Thieves leave paper inside the CD jackets.
So stupid and waste of life.

During slow, hellish shifts I just hang in long ass gold shows. Nights like tonight when they sit and stare or beg for hours on in it prevents me from jumping out the window plus it keeps me super mellow. Make what you can how you can. On hellish shifts I would just log off, now I stay and end up making more little by little. Not the ideal situation however it beats just logging off.. Or jumping out window. Haha.
Keep your head up ladies! It'll get better.... They Have to jack off eventually..

@Christylive That's a brilliant idea. Trying that out on my next slow day.
Tonight was BRUTAL. Basically gave up after 2 hours and $20. So glad I started selling clips this week, it's saving my bacon. (Not enough to touch my goal but still, enough to make a difference.)

I'm right there with you. I made $20 in 4 hours. The traffic was there,(after the basketball game was over). Just not the spenders.
I can def. tell(for me anyway), that it's a holiday weekend. kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm taking the rest of the weekend off.
I get especially mad when there's a lot of traffic, and lurkers galore. Takes all the fun out of camming.
Even my pso lines have been quiet tonight. The one long call I got was disconnected(his end).:phone: So he'll probably dispute the charges, as is his usual m.o.
Blah.

I've been online for over two hours now and none of my regulars are chatting with me. In fact, the only people I've talked to today were two freeloaders and a "high school student" that wanted to ask me to prom. Current earnings: $0
It doesn't help that it's PMS week. -_-

I hear you. The frustrating part was I actually got a ton of traffic by my standards for a while, but no spenders except 1 brief exclusive. Most people seemed to be new and confused, either didn't know how to work the site or thought it was for dating/conversation. One guy was yelling at his computer and was confused that I couldn't hear him XDDD

There seems to be more traffic during holidays/holiday weekends for sure. But, sadly no good spenders(in my room at least).
After camming for 6 years consistently, it has been the pattern.
Tbh, I'm pretty burnt out on camming in General, and am switching careers soon.
It's too inconsistent for me.
I don't know why I built up my clientele, only for them to turn into non spenders , and act jerky to me all of a sudden.
What the heck did I do to deserve that kind of treatment? SMH

Hmm Im wondering if the ladies of this forum are getting their cycles at the same time? I'm just wrapping up mine. Didn't cry on cam but I lost it the other day when I watched my dog chase a squirrel. He's never caught one in 8 years. But that never stops him from trying. He just keeps going day after day after day. He inspired me and then I got emotional.

My last dog used to do that too. Talk about tenacity!
I don't have periods anymore, but I surely did feel like crying this past week too.

When your Dad, then laters ur ex start saying shit like what are you doing with your life (both know I am in adult industry, just no details)? Life is not about money, get married, have kids (my ex means himself ofc). and so how much have you earned? blah blah
Some people are so hard to understand that money can make some people happy and not every woman's happiness is all about kids. I never wanted to have one anyway.
I swear when I was working in the office, I never heard such noise.
I love what I do and it pays awesome. Double love.
Why everyone seems to care, acting like I am addicted to heroine.

Some people are so hard to understand that money can make some people happy and not every woman's happiness is all about kids. I never wanted to have one anyway.
The next time someone asks "do you regret not having kids?" in that condescending tone...reply, "do you regret having them?" I hate that kid crap...I never wanted them either...and guess what? It's not necessarily the money that makes you happy, but it takes money to get you the things to make you happy. Freedom is what I enjoy...work when I want, where I want. I live a pretty simple life, but I love to travel and pamper myself with weekly massages...and moolah from camming pays for that.
I'm rather super pissed right now about a custie that jumped into group chat towards the end of a countdown. I was at 2 when he starts clamoring, "where's your strap on? put that dick on! I want it!" I told him to wait until I was done with the countdown and then we could do strap on play...(had a few guys in group that were doing JOI with me and we were at the 10 minute mark)...he leaves and then gives me a 1-star rating. what a dick! I'm so mad about it right now...trying to shake it off

Being broke. I am putting more effort and just not seeing the desired results. I've had 2 cry spells this week from stress. I am watching my lazy neighbors that dont work drive in new cars and have nice things while I don't have one (got it stolen in 2015). I live paycheck to paycheck. This is humiliating to admit. I know things will improve, I just do! 2 deaths and financial problems is too much to bear for one soul. <3
