So today I was in c2c and there is maybe a 15 second delay between when I talk and when the guy hears me and then responds by talking back on his cam. Well, first he kept leaving the cam while I was trying to perform for him. Then he comes back and says "you seem bored with me" and I was like no and I started dirty talking and then he tried to talk but the delay kept making us talk over each other, so then he yelled at me, abusively and says "CAN YOU SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK!!!!!!". Now that was a huge turn off for me. I have never been yelled at before by a guy on cam, and have never been told I "seem bored" either. This was an older guy...like 50s.... THen he asked if I was a dominatrix....to which I replied yes and he goes "takes one to know one". I didn't know where the cam show was going because he never seemed to get into it, then he left, which came as a relief to me. Ugh. Pissed me off.

My ability to keep my energy up and a fake smile on my face for longer stretches in free chat is waning which is becoming a serious fucking problem as free chat is a very necessary and important part of this job...ugh.

Hoping I have a better day than yesterday (this isn't camming-related), and I actually make the rest of the money I owe for yesterday's rent. I've posted and answered CL ads offering paid modeling gigs, and also posted an ad on one of those local FB selling groups (for a handbag in new condition), and of course the chick was too stupid to READ my damn ad...and decided she's gonna pass on the item. Now I gotta wait for the next chick in line (the second person who posted "Interested") to get back to me to see if she's still interested. And I see that she lives all the way in Baltimore, so I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one.
Where I live, in order to scare tenants into paying rent on time, the day after the 1st they put a yellow EVICTION notice out on your apartment building's general mailbox area (for EVERYONE to see) listing your name, apartment number, and the amount that you still owe. Two of my neighbors told me that they've done it to pretty much everyone in this building the moment they were one day late paying rent (and that one particular neighbor gets those every month). It's just a scare tactic to get people to pay their rent on time, but I think it's extremely fucked up. And that's gonna be fucking embarrassing having that shit up on the hallway mailboxes for everyone to see.

Camming has sucked for me since the 3 week of February and it hasn't picked up since despite me sitting out my hours every single day. I'm very disheartened and am slowly losing my sanity sitting on SM - it's finally time to move to another site I reckon.

Fake-ass people. I am so over them lately.
:yes: :thanx:
Just lost a friend yesterday.
She's been having inappropriate conversations and meetups with her husband's friend [former best friend] recently. Not to mention that they already fooled around. Her husband had no idea and neither does his wife [again suppose to be best friends].
He is also married to who she calls her best friend. They had a falling out. But have recently been rekindling their "friendship". It's all so fake. They are young early 20's and can't tell the truth to each other to save their life.
Now my s/o shouldn't had said anything like I asked him to - Like couples are suppose to do, we don't keep things from one another. But he decided to tell his best friend that his wife hasn't been honest. Now that may have not been his place even as they are best friends but my s/o was feeling guilty knowing and he felt it wasn't right for him not to tell his best friend - He has a conscience! So he did. He said they have been having inappropriate conversations and have fooled around. What did his best friend do? LIED! He told his wife that he told him I told my s/o they had sex. This dude lies about EVERYTHING! And I called him out on it to his wife who messaged me about it with pure attitude and she was so nasty. I get she was upset but to accuse me of telling my s/o that you fucked another man - Nope. That is NOT what I discussed with my s/o and neither did my s/o say those words. YOUR husband is a bold face liar, period. He lies about every single thing. He can't tell the truth to save his life. I said that to her too. Now her husband is upset with mine because I said he was a fucking liar. Wtf? How are you going to get pissed off at your best friend for the words that his women said? Makes no sense. And quite frankly, the truth must of hurt and it must of hurt to be called out on your shit!
It's a ridiculous situation :banghead:. Needless to say, we're no longer friends. And I'm ok with that. I can't stand liars and sure as hell don't like fake people who is clearly messing around with her husband's friend and smiling to not only her husband's face but the wife of the man she is messing around with and acting like they are best of friends when you are fucking around with her man. That is so trashy. You're only mad because you were caught & called out.

What pisses me off the most is when I'm owed money and at no fault of my own I get snide remarks and condescending emails from people hired to help mpdels/contractors. TTM reps did it last month, and now SM.
SM for the 3rd year in a row placed yet another hold on my account one day before account changes are cut off. Notice it used to be Wednesday and GMT is basically Tuesday because they're ahead of us.
So I ask Liz of she could help me considering #1 My address is the same address it's been for 3 yrs and I still live in my house. I also attached a bill proving so.
So since it wasn't my issue it was returned, I ask if I'm going to be paid on time and she says payroll paid everyone already and only send pay once a week. NOT MY PROBLEM! if payroll who takes 65% of my pay can't wheel their asses to a computer and send a 2 min paxum payment since it was their fault, something isn't right, here.
Then she condensendingly emailed me back that SM isn't "the post office" and how perhaps I should use fedex since they use tracking numbers. What she didn't care to realize was that I did pay SM $30 for a year to send me my money (shouldn't have to) via fedex and OOP! One time it never showed up! That's when I frantically hit up Vanessa explaining that I never got shit, and she sent me my money via direct deposit and I switched from there, stopped paying for that too.
Really? You're going to suggest I pay you guys $30 just to get my money? So it's cool to work for models but suggest they pay $30 extra out of the 35% they're already getting for a mistake that 'keeps happening every year?" Um no.
Perhaps maybe your payroll should be doing it's job and not placing holds on people's accounts for no reason not even a full day BEFORE payroll sends money. I shouldn't have to chase after money that I'm owed. Like umm hello, it still would've gotten sent back. So that's another $30 wasted! Like she just told me that they send payroll on TUESDAY now, and the hold was placed on Monday EAT but TUESDAY via GMT so I wouldn't have seen it or been able to do fuck all about it. Send a warning and stop holding our funds especiallynwhen there's nothing we've changed on our accounts.
That's rich. I'll stick to Vanessa for help from now on. At least she actually seems to give a damn. The fact that she told me I'd have to wait until next week boiled my blood, that's my grocery budget as Friday's are grocery days. Payroll said they'd send it after she asked twice but that shit still pisses me off. No I'm not going to pay you guys $120 per month to pay me. It keeps happening because someone in payroll is fucking retarded come tax time.

They haven't put it up on the mailboxes yet. I think that's so shitty...it's like a public shaming. Three of my neighbors I spoke with told me to not to worry about it, because they've done that with EVERYONE in that building at some point simply for them being a day or two late. That SUCKS.

Huh.. in my state, that would be illegal and wouldn't count. They have to put notices on your door, and your door ONLY. Anywhere else doesn't meet the requirement for the "cure" notice that they have to use before they're allowed to file.
That's beyond shitty.

I spent 2 hours on 2 sites & NOTHING, not ONE DIME. Just guys coming into my room for 5 secs & then leaving or fucking around with their sex talk & then leaving in the middle of me talking which makes me want to take out a gun & SHOOT someone.
I was seriously depressed. I have $17 in one of my checking accounts. :( <sigh>
I thought it had something to do with the dollar, but it's actually gone up by 3 points in the last 2 days amazingly. It tanked after he was sworn in.

So, I guess your lease doesn't have a grace period then, which really sucks.
I wonder how your landlord can get away with the postings.
Is it legal in your area?

Since it's just a stupid thing they use as a scare tactic (and you're not actually being evicted), yes, I think they can get away with posting it like that (As soon as I see it, I'm gonna pull it down. That's what everybody here does when it happens to them.). I tried Google searching it for the state of Maryland, and couldn't find anything telling me it's illegal.
To officially evict someone, they would have to go through a formal process. But I guess since this scare tactic method is just that (a scare tactic), I guess they can get away with it. :/
I have to head out to my job. Last night I got on Cams (It's been a while) and made a few bucks. I'm wondering if I should spend more time on Cams rather than ImLive. Definitely didn't make enough to get daily pay though. I'm just gonna cam every chance I get on these daily pay sites (get on MFC when I have at least a couple hours available), keep trying to get last-minute paid model gigs, and hope this chick shows up today to buy this Michael Kors bag (Not sure if it's authentic...I made sure to tell her that too) that was given to me as a gift last Christmas (That bag is not my style/color...lol).

I don't like how a lot of guys have the nerve to give me advice on how to cam not to mention their advice is fucking shitty. Oh then the best ones give me advice on what to do or not do with my pussy in real life. And I LOVE the ones that tell me shit like "you should be making ____ per hour (so and so on front page or other random TOP camgirl) is making ____ per hour"... Have they ever fucking considered some of us aren't top camgirls for whatever reason??
LOL anyway I am slowly trying to raise my hourly average by doing a lot of little things, but for me this shit takes time. Either time to make the money to invest back in my camming or the time figuring out how to add to my shows or somehow improve them, learning about marketing etc. When I started camming I didn't give a fuck about all this shit, but now I do see all this shit can only help me. Anyway I am getting more humiliation shows than ever before because of my icy and mean attitude on cam :) I prefer those over masturbating so it's win win.

Guys, stay on for the random whales! My camscore on mfc dropped from 3000 to 750 since i've been travelling for months and taking intermittent breaks. Managed to raise it to about 1200 but still quite quietOne day I stayed on for about 90 minutes and made 143 tokens. The next, 270 tokens. The next, I came online expecting the same stuff, but I got a whale and made 5000 tks just for talking about myself in private
Yesterday cam was amazeballs. Today? Not so much.

Pretty tired of camming lately, unmotivating as hell, many lurkers, not many tippers, almost no private shows...It feels like 2017 is the end of camming...I hope I am wrong. I used to have like at least 2 private shows a day...Now 2-3 private shows a week? Can't live off that! Nope...I wish I could take a week of break, but yea I need that money quick. Bills bills bills...And my parents have money problems so I can't get a new portable to work on a second website, I need to deal with this old shit portable for a longer while...ugh!

In the moment someone showed up in my room, I kicked their ass out in that moment. At least there s something I could do... And this is how I managed to reach my low goal... Untill I started kicking, they just sat in my room endlessly and complaining with no reason, no matter what. Now that s fucking annoying, I m wondering?
I exited a few of my pvs because their extremely rude behavior. These guys are a shame.

My best friend has same problem. She is on Jasmin and independent too.
I came back AGAIN on jasmin after a few months off. My room is empty as fuck. I guess I should keep the price at $2.99...I barely reached the 35% in 3 days.
