sad Okay, so at the beginning of Spring Semester I told my mom that I really wanted to work on a manga and try submitting it to Seven Seas or TokyoPop (if worse came to worse) to see if they'd accept it and publish it. I told her that I'd like to get a tablet because re-outlining lines with a mouse is really hard and takes a long time (lately I've just been using the eraser tool to clean up the grey parts of images); plus, because it takes a lot of motor control/hand-eye coordination, I thought it would really help out my artwork.
She told me I'd have to get a job.
I was like, "But I have money in my savings especially set aside for that. I have 300 dollars set aside specifically so I can get a tablet. You can pull the money out, I just need your credit card number so I can order it because I don't have a credit card and that money's in my savings at home."
She told me that because I wanted to get a job for the semester that I could just earn the money that way.
In the end I ended up take another class instead of getting a job (hence why I'm flunking one class and doing moderately okay in all the others).
Last night I was telling my mom how I really, really want a tablet so I can work on my manga this summer. She goes, "Then why don't you buy one? You have a lot of money in your savings account?"
gonk GAHHHHH! I wanted to scream. So, basically, she doesn't even remember this long conversation of how "I have to earn my tablet through a job" - even though the $1000 eek (which isn't there anymore because of college) in my savings is pretty much all from my job because I put 50% or more of every paycheck into it. So, I could've been working on my manga all semester, felt a little better that I was actually doing something semi-productive with my life because I'm probably going to die from anaphylactic shock when I'm 20 or something.
