Most things in life don't go according to plan, anyway

This week was an interesting week. I was kind of frustrated at how things have turned out, but that's sort of the norm for me. I was stressed over spending money to make my Halloween costume work. I was a fairy with green hair and purple wings. I took pictures, but I am not a fan of the Photobucket (because it takes, like, half a day to load one picture) and I've forgotten my password. The pics shall be posted, but I'm not making any promises as to when. Also, once I figure out how to do that, I'm going to erase and replace my current pics, as they're directly from my computer and the only ones I can fit onto my pics page.
Anyway, onto that whole money thing. How can I describe this without being too blunt about the situation? Say you're a mermaid and you want to make a pearl necklace, as mermaids are oft to do. You need 100 pearls to make a decent necklace. Every day for a month, you help King Neptune keep the currents going the way their supposed to and you keep up with your sailor-drowning quota. At the end of the month, the king pays you only 4 pearls. Also, each month, the loan sharks take three of those pearls away, leaving you only one pearl a month. You soon figure it out that you may never make that necklace as long as you work for King Neptune. So you make your plans to get yourself into a better situation. You're not entirely sure how that's going to come about, but you're optimistic. In the mean-time, you're still just drowning sailors.
Well, that's basically how I've been feeling for a while, now. Except, I'm not underwater and I'm not actually killing anyone. Otherwise, it's almost the exact same thing. Almost.
Rehearsals for the play are going pretty well. We need to be off-book for the first act by Monday. I'm starting to get critical about the play, but I'm mostly keeping it to myself. It's not anything terrible, just little things. Most likely, those things will fix themselves once we're off-book.
Well, I think that pretty much covers things, for now.
