Seriously gonna snap. This girl who I've been friends with for 11 years is being a mega bitch to me. I told her I wanted to start working out again together and she says that I have been making excuses for a year ?? Which isn't true I worked out outside jogging up until Dec when it was snowy and too cold to go... Then I told her this winter has made me kinda depressed and her reply was: probably staying in and "working" doesn't help said depression
She knows about camming. I ask her why she puts working in quotations and she's just being a bitter bitch. And this was one of the only people I confided in about this. I think she's jealous that I told her the other day one of my good regs sent me $800 to pay my rent. Sorry you're a jealous bitch who makes minimum wage at a pet store.
... All my willpower is holding me back from telling her to go fuck herself.

-i'm mad that i've not had sex (by choice) since mid November. Finally last Thursday, my dude friend jizzed before we even got to the sexin (aka, i give a great beej) but it was like WTF IS THIS A JOKE ON ME NOW?
-My roommie is sometimes really nice to talk to, and then like just.....isn't. and she gets passive aggressive. she thinks her dude is into me, which he totally is and its vomit inducing to even think about. The weekend my friend was killed by a DUI driver, I was crying all weekend but hadden't told her about it at that point. When I came out of my room in tears, she said "Are you, like, NOT TAKING YOUR MEDS?" low fucking blow. so i yelled NO MY FRIEND WAS KILLED. I'm sick of dealing with this feeling of "what mood will she be in today?" and I've had some BAD roommates, so....ugh.
-i'm pissed off because i just can't make Streamate work for me. I need the social aspect of, say, MFC. I signed up for CB, but I'm like WHAT AM I DOING...
-i had to sell my Coachella tickets. It was a responsible decision due to conflict with school, but.....fuck dude. i do the pre sale payment plan...money down, then monthly charges. So I've been paying for this and looking forward to it since last June. Yes, I needed the money, but.....I made some reckless decisions and spent much of it. Sigh. I can't log on to the interwebs this weekend and next cuz the coachella fun time photos are killing me.
- i miss my friend who passed so so sooooo much. it's been hard to balance school with these emotions.
-also pissed that my ex (who told me how fat and unattractive I was) and I ran into each other at the store, and he did the WOW YOU LOOK GREAT thing cuz i've lost a few lbs. Then he called me the other night? WTF. Stay out of my life for at least 3 yrs before contacting me.
(apologies if i've repeated anything from the verified vent thread)

:'( OMG! Can anyone die from boredom? :rip: I mean, can they? If You have a link, I'd like to read it, because this week camming,,,, no words to how dreadfully slow it has been! I'm usually between 65-90% paid chat. This week, nothing over 25%! Blah!!
I actually had to leave home yesterday for an eye test at the DMV, so I could renew my license. They also took my fingerprint, and all I kept thinking was , "I hope I still don't have any residue of lube that would make it unreadable!"):blush:
(I was shitting bricks, so scared that I would flunk, because I'm sure my eye sight is worse because of the crazy amounts of time I spend looking at the computer).
I haven't had an eye exam in over 15 years. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
Anyway, I had the most fun when I got there! Even though I had a pre-set apt, I got there early because I have never been there before, being that it's a new city for me, and all. I started talking to people who were also waiting. So many nice families, and hearing their stories was kinda nice. One mother about my age, wanted to keep in touch and hang out sometime. Cool!
I passed the test with flying colors, (whew):relieved:, and came home to cam. It was so bad that I just logged off, went for a walk, and actually enjoyed doing laundry!
Hoping today will be better.:dreams:

I haven't had an eye exam since 1998... i bought one pair of glasses and wore them the whole time.. now they only have one arm left and i don't take them out in public.. i need to go get a new pair..lol... but I always find better use for my money and i say.. well they still work??...lol... Camming taught me to be a tight wad to the nth degree...lol.... it's sad.

^^ Same here! It's been about that long for me too regarding the eye exam.
I had money back then, so I just paid more to have the eyeglass shop use my old prescription to have it placed in the designer lenses I was buying. (Money talks, as we all know).
I, thankfully have over 10 pairs (both clear, and sunglasses), that I wear just to drive, and watch T.V.
I'm glad I passed, because I don't have the money to go get an eye test, and my Birthday is in a few weeks, so the DMV would have only given me until then to retest.
It's a load off my mind, for sure.

Everywhere I turn, I see camgirls complaining about slow traffic,
dwindling revenues, having a heck of a hard time converting all these
supposed "potential customers" in free guest chat, frustrated with
members that won't, don't seem to, can't or are unable to, use the
chat. Annoyed at private session customers' inability to remain
connected and the sites doing nothing about fixing these so-called
"glitches".
The sites may be dying but traffic generally is not. Little do most
camgirls know, it is us bringing customers to the sites, not the other
way around, but there are games being played. Ever wonder why
Thursdays and Fridays are terribly slow? Payday was never like this
before. I know. I've been camming and seen the trends in this industry
for 17 years. Those two days, especially in the winter months, should
be the busiest. Why are they not?
Food for thought. We all see them tanking.
Camgirls, are you still a Skype-a-phobe? Want to start offering shows
to your customers and getting 80%? Grab yourself a Skype account (I
created a tutorial specifically for you Skype newbies)
and then join us at CamGirl Clubs and start enjoying the freedom of
being an independent camgirl.
NO
start-up fees, no fees period. All costs relevant to this is included
in the 20% we take, leaving you with 80%. Includes payment processing,
the website and all maintenance, marketing, tutorials, excellent
performer and customer support, etc. Camgirls, this is a great
opportunity.
I don't post here often. I am not here to get attacked. I'm here to put an offer on the table to those who are struggling. Any attack on this post or on me, will fall on deaf ears. I am not interested in drama or troll feeding. Just offering a solution to the problem that plagues us all. Please see the title of this thread for relevance. Camming doesn't have to suck.
You can contact me directly @amanda36c on Twitter if you have any questions.

Total 62.50 ooh wait nope got another 1.50 so that rounds things up to umm $64.I mean sure it's something but it shouldn't be this bad. I even had one guy that never spends follow me from one site to the next and back again yet no money on either one. lol .

Stay strong sweetheart. I know you have a deadline but maybe just take like 2 days off? Rest your nerves a bit. And then come back relaxed. Also not sure of your situation but try getting another job to supplement the down time. Eh not everyone is gonna be a camstar. Not even part of the time. It breaks my heart to read all of the frustration and tears surrounding this industry.

If it was slow, keep in mind that yesterday was the start of the Jewish holiday Passover(at sundown). I live where there are mostly Jews, and running errands was a breeze, because there were no crowds. Jews are big spenders on cam.
also, today is tax day, so guys could have been doing their last minute preparations.
I think kids are off school this week also, in some places, (I know here they were), due to the upcoming Easter Holiday on Sunday.
Just a 'heads up', there is a big BBall game on tonight, so don't be surprised if that affects traffic.

This is a real life rant so I'm gonna get it off my chest. I went to Sephora today to pick up some foundation and of course, some dumb bitch felt the need to try it. Instead of checking me out, she had to run around to the other girls in the store and whispered that I'm a "man" and used me as a joke. This was coming from a black bitch. She forgot that not too long ago, her parents and her grand parents were oppressed and discriminated against for the color of their skin. Something of which they have no control over so she should know better. This doesn't happen quite often but when it does, I have to let bitches know that I'm not the one. I had to let her know that a real woman doesn't have to whisper, cunts do. A real woman is kind and respectful. She doesn't care what somebody was born as nor trying to make fun of them for trying to live their lives.
No disrespect to all the kind and loving women out there but there's a false assumption that transsexual women hate our bodies and everyone wants a sex change. Some of you cunts like to use it as psychological guilt trip against us. I love and adore my body AND my penis. I'm happy and content with what I have. You can go to Thailand and get a sex change for $7000 so it's nothing rare. When I do get it, it will be on my own terms and for me. Not to please society or to make someone else comfortable.
This more than just a gender thing. It's about having love and acceptance for yourself. Whatever you are, JUST FUCKING OWN THAT SHIT!

*Trying to have a conversation with a cheapass (my mom) can be maddening. She reminds me of Terry Crews' character on Everybody Hates Chris. The first thing out of her mouth is always "How much is/was it? Pffft! I wouldn't have paid all that!" in that negative tone. She recently told me that she walked into Massage Envy just to grab one of their free pens from the front desk. *facepalm*

I haven't cammed in so long since like September because of family problems. Then I stopped really making clips because of family problems. Well at the beginning of the week I started to catch up on requests and customs and converting. I get home from the casino (won $300!) and there's luggage on my porch. Ok they sent it to the wrong house. Look at the name it's my aunts. She surprised us with a visit! My gram's in the hospital so my two aunt's and uncle went there to visit her. So with a really bad stiff neck and shoulder I had to go and hide all my sex shit and hope that she doesn't go into that dresser drawer. She calls me a horder and likes to go through all my stuff and take some home with her which I don't mind up until now because of all that stuff. I was really so excited to start working!
I have a FWB and it's complicated with him just cause our families can't know. We were going to hook up tonight after almost a year! Now that I have that visitor it's off. :( I love my aunt and she's awesome but I really wanted to work and have real sex!

If I hear one more guy accuse me of "being MIA" or "never being online," I'm gonna throw my giant dry erase board at a wall. LOL. That is bullshit. I'm on MFC every night except Tuesdays, which these numb nuts would know if they'd actually READ room topics, Twitter tweets, and news feeds. Oh, wait...that's right...these are the same guys who say "Nah, I don't fuck with Twitter. E-mail notifications? What's that? What's news feeds?" Oh okay, so you're too stupid or too stubborn to utilize certain things that would help you...not my problem. I guess these guys expect me to be on cam 24/7 at their convenience, so that whenever they feel like logging on I'll always be there - day or night. Stubborn guys who refuse to help themselves are not my problem. Oh, and I should add that these guys who whine about how they "never see me online" are the same ones who don't stay in my public chat for more than 1 - 2 minutes. Smh. Yes, please just go away.....
And then this other guy (who hasn't tipped me since July of 2011) was giving me a hard time about how I don't do "hardcore" videos fucking a guy. I told him no, I don't have him videos like that, and then I linked him to my Clips4Sale store. He's like "Well that's too bad for you." Excuse me? Yeah, he kept going on about it, and eventually got his whiny ass banned after posting "Fuck you, broke bitch." I went to his profile and saw that two other models posted had problems with him, based on the comments they'd posted on his wall. I rated him one star. Lol.

But I have a new, awesome car now :)Just not sure what to do with old one, don't know if it'll start and if it's even safe to try? It still smells like fire and there's a huge puddle under it, like almost as big as the car. Soooooooooooo, anyone want a two ton paper weight?
