~Taizen Chisou's Expenses For The Month of August~
$ 105 - Replacement radiator for a 13 year old car with 231k miles$ 195 - A shiny piece of plastic that magically waives all parking fees at my university, except for$ 40 - parking tickets, because the first space on the ramp on the commuter floor still registers as faculty parking$ 141 - Constantly going to lunch with friends harboring expensive tastes, although this IS to avert having to eat school food$ 261 - A college textbook containing maths i don't understand$ 119 - A college textbook filled to the brim with pretty pictures of naked people that we'll have to memorize sooner or later$ 81 - GASOLINE THAT MUST CONTAIN GOLD OR OTHER RARE MATERIALS$ 38 - Parking in the conveniently expensive building that is next to most of my classes, because that aforementioned parking pass got left in my mother's truck for a while$ 10 - Parking decals for my high school, two for some reason$ 257 - Apparently money that fell into the abyss because transferring my paycheck from my work card caused this balance to appear on itThe fact that I'm not in the red confounds me.I was going to tack on the eventual donations to Hel ($40) and the first half of my S4D contribution ($63, second half 19 Sep.), but it's not August anymore.
Reading this is depressing me.
damn. that's some expensive parking-related fees. It's free to park at my college.
@Juurian "Depressing?"
@Death why is parking free everywhere else in the wold i hate thisYou only spent $83 on gas?
I drive an old civic that sips gas (kind of) and I pay $200/month just for work.I'm not sure how much gas fetches for in Canada, FSX, but here it's currenty sitting at 3.60/gal.
I drive a Toyota Solara from 1999, which gets about 25 or so miles to the gallon. I am still at a loss, however, as to how it is that I can drive 500 miles in a week and a half going between home, school, and work.You should find out if there are any shorter routes to the places you go.
+1 for gasoline.
It's $4/gal here, and that's considered low.It's $1.30/litre here, so roughly $5/gal. And that's kind of on the low side in Canada.
And you know why? BECAUSE OF AMERICA. We have enough oil for all of Canada, but the US consumes so fucking much of it, that they demand more. And after seeing the Americans so pissed after invading a tiny country, who are we to say no? Imagine how pissed they'd be if they invaded Canada for oil, only to realize they had to use millions and millions of litres of fuel to move forces from one end of the country to the other, to defeat a country whose population is smaller than California's.But it's not all America's fault for screwing over everyone's oil. Canada has some pretty stringent laws about mining oil. None of this we're-in-the-middle-of-the-desert-so-who-cares-what-goes-wrong, or whoops-we-accidentally-the-whole-ecosystem shit. So it's not easy to actually get oil out of the ground cleanly.At least I don't live in Europe. Fuck fuel over there.But then again, Europe is full of tiny countries, so biking everywhere is no problem. The entire continent of Europe is only 1.02 the size of Canada. Edit: That came off more angry than satirical. =/@Juurian
Let's see.I've been living here for only about 9 years, now, so I'd like to assume that I know how to get around, if you know what I mean.From home, to school (4mi), to college (6mi), to work (3mi)From school, to college (6mi), to work (2mi)From college, to work (5mi)(good luck figuring out how all this is positioned)I drive to and from these three places multiple times a day every day, and to other places on the side too. I tacked on 35 miles today alone >_>-1 for anger, FSX.
When we Americans run out of greasy foods, we drink oil. That's all there is to it. Stop crying and go hibernate, you fucking eskimo.
