How could I forget, mama said "Think before speaking," no filter in my head, oh what's a girl to do?

So I'm too stupid to live. Simple fact. That's all I'm gonna say.

I'm completely engaging in shopping therapy and decided to move away from shoes (I KNOW, RIGHT?). Tati brought in this stupid New Age catalog, which of course immediately made me roll my eyes and go "Oh please" until I realized, it had CLOTHES in it. And jewelry. Jewelry that actually wasn't totally new age and lame.

I kind of already bought this cause I think it's adorable. And this is the coolest cross I've ever seen. Not buying it cause I have enough crosses already, but it's pretty.

I'm also wondering, if I bought this coat, if it'd be too cliché? The whole skull motif and the cut? I'm a little in love with it, but I don't wanna be mistaken for the things I'm killing, thanks. I kinda want this too, even though part of me's staring at it going "...Where's the rest of it?" I mean, that's a dress? Really? I like my legs and all, but really?

Also, someone that could actually pull off the "Wholesome and Sweet" look should get this. I couldn't wear it. People would laugh at me, it'd look totally hideous, but Tati could so pull it off. So could Karina.

No mistake, babe...but there are some stipulations, like I said. It's a trust, so the five million's frozen, You're entitled to the interest, though...it's a nice allowance that'll sustain you for the rest of your life.

Congratulations, babe!

But, Terry, there's no--no one would've done that for me, at all, ever, I don't have any family or...

I mean, who...?

[if-she-could.livejournal.com]

I asked the lawyer, but he said his client asked for anonymity. I don't know, babe...but the money's all damn yours.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

You're kidding me. Someone anonymously gave me money. That is such crap.

...What the hell am I supposed to do with it?!

[if-she-could.livejournal.com]

Whatever you want, kiddo. That's kind of the point of obscene amounts of cash.

Truthfully? It's not as much as it seems...since it's in trust, you can't touch the five million. The allowance from interest, however, is three percent a month. That's $150,000.00 a month...maybe a number you can understand better.

Come to my room later, I'll give you the manager's number. He can explain all this crap way better than I can. I'm not an accountant, just related to one.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...Okay. Um. Just. Can't wrap my head around this right now. Must think about it.

Sorry to butt in, but you need to know.

That money was Val's. I'm sure of it.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...How do you know?

And why would she do that?

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

Val's moms came from money...left her five hundred grand when she died. It went into trust.

She never spent a dime of it...she refused. She's been tryin' to give it away for years...and in the meantime, it just kept growin'. Five mil sounds about right after...what, nine years?

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...Why me, Cain?

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

I don't know...wish to fuck I did.

All's I know is that for years, she said it was blood money, and she refused to touch it. Maybe she thinks in your hands, it can finally do some good.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...All right. Thank you for telling me.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

S' no sweat, girl. Figured you oughta know, right?

So...yeah.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Now I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with it.

I was thinking, maybe...I mean, the girls work so hard, maybe it could be like, fun money. When they want to go out and blow off some steam or go on a date? It could be a fund to get tickets to shows or a new pair of shoes or even a plane ticket home if they need a break. Is that a stupid idea?

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

Fuck no, that ain't a stupid idea.

...hmph.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...What? What hmph? Why did you hmph? Don't hmph and not tell me why you hmphed!

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

Nah, just...

I think I know now why Val gave you that money.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

...Enlighten me, Callahan.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

I...you...

You won't buy it if I tell you, and I mean that in the best possible way.

The Fun Fund, or what-the-fuck-ever is a good idea. Hands down.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think it's a good idea, but as for me not buying it? Try me.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[fear-noevil.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's put it this way: it's a compliment, but if I try to explain it? I'll probably say some stupid shit that'll piss you off and get you mad at me, and I ain't in the mood for it.

Re: [Private...FOR BEE'S EYES ONLY]

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

*Sigh* I won't get pissed. I promise.
