Ask a (formerly) homeless (pseudo-)bum anything
"Female companionship without STDs. The worst thing about life in homeless shelters is the combination of curfew, gender segregation, and the utter lack of privacy. The few women you do encounter tend to be beyond nasty. It's enough to drive a young man crazy. I guess gas/bus fare (transportation in general) and equipment for work (such as the ability to buy tools or uniforms) are actually higher priority, but I got that shit on lock. "No, thankfully; if I did they'd probably be nightmares. Cheese in general disgusts me. Even with my current lack of food pickiness I can't keep down pizza that's too high in that cheap brick cheese (as opposed to proper mozerella), and the ricotta in lasagna is truly repellant. "Hopefully starting post-9/11 GI Bill at UTEP on Jan 21st. Kind of worried about deadlines, the Army hates late registration and my former college in Michigan went all wussy and shut down for the cold snap, had to pitch a royal bitch to get my transcript sent... and until all transcripts are in I won't be formally accepted into the university. Post-9/11 is some good shit. Full tuition, textbook/supplies stipend of $1k annually, plus cash-money housing allowance as if a sergeant in the Army with dependents. In other words, pays better than many jobs. Worst case is same plan delayed to Summer semester, being forced to tough it out a few extra months. Which would mean the whole getting my own place plan would have to be delayed to afford gas, auto insurance, and cell phone.

Don't you have any relatives you could crash at from time to time? Friends? Or you just prefer self found mode?
BTW how old are you? Be ready. You're not paranoid, you're PREPARED.

"Most of my family lives in Michigan or nearby states. My kids are here in El Paso; me and Bacon are still married on paper but have been separated for months (although we still text/talk often about stuff). Have some Army friends in the area but they tend to stay in barracks, and Uncle Sam doesn't play that "crashing" shit. (Not to say I've never seen civilians crashing in the barracks; just that when US finds out he gets pissy about it.) Self-found isn't impossible; most of the talk regarding its lack of viability is unfounded. Although I'll readily agree it's not for everyone. I'm 32.

In your current situation, is there anyone you can trust?

Bacon? Everyone loves bacon. Why do you call your ex'ish wife bacon?
What phone do you use? Would you rather have a tablet, netbook or notebook for online things etc. or would it be too much burden to lug around? Be ready. You're not paranoid, you're PREPARED.

Dear Scrotie,
Are you gonna help homeless people in the future? Like i did when i tried to show the path to uninformed players with my trading guide. edit : Or at least try? http://wideo.co/view/449781379368063514-inexs-journey-for-the-8-stars (Music: Odd Look) I am the guy behind price check forums yay: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/387787 (i think.)

"I could trust anyone, at any time. Experience has taugh me it's unwise to do so; I'm still trying to extract loaned money out of one compatriot (he, like me, has an autistic son he only sees during visitations, which garnered my sympathy; he, unlike me, is a fuck-up, which I should have noticed sooner). Generally the X_Files motto is a good thing to live by. "I call her Bacon for the same reason I'd call you John; her PoE account name is BaconRulez. A gentleman wouldn't reveal first names (deliberately — I often worry about slipping up when talking about her), and apparently it's her chosen online pseudonym. At least in these parts. I have a Kyocera Rise under Virgin Mobile. A proper laptop would be a burden; I rely heavily on 3G data (using it now). A tablet might be cool, but I think the old full-keyboard slider phone is just about ideal. "I'm going to try, for sure. I'd actually enjoy volunteering my time later in a counseling capacity to help the not-so-fucked-up exit homelessness faster.

I did not know BaconRulez was your wife or even female.
I know many women use gender neutral names. My only concern is I said BaconRulez was a man in my Mooned over PoE stories. I can change it if she wants. But to the question. My sister is divorcing soon. Not out of any negative reasons, just my soon to be ex-brother in law is taking early retirement and going back to Puerto Rico and she doesn't want to. They are parting friends. Are you still friendly with your ex? |

"Easy part: it's her choice, not mine. If she ever logs in again and objects to the gendering in your stories, that's on her to fix, not me. In terms of our relationship: it's... complicated. On the one hand, we have kids together. And although I am often a rather cold-hearted person — not like the Grinch, but like Spock — I do love my kids, genuinely. And she's their mother. On top of that, she doesn't seem to be an intrinsically bad person or anything. Fun at times, almost irresistibly tempting at others. On the other hand, we drive each other batshit crazy. Based of years of empirical evidence, the only thing I should expect from contact with her, and especially investing my heart in her, is for both of us to become progressively more insane and suicidal. Blame is irrelevant; it's the results which matter. And the results weren't good for the kids. At all. I've never been one for drug addiction, so I'm just guessing here, but I guess the best way to describe it is that I look at her the way a recovering addict looks at dope. It's not that there's no love there, it's that said love is scary and overwhelming and destructive and soul-killing. And yet she's out there, she'll always be there, there's no way to live your life properly without running into her again; one must makes one's peace with her, learn to approach and not to run away but to always keep at arm's length. And she wants us to get back together. Of course. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero.

My personal observation is that all women are insane. I have picked one that who's craziness is compatible with my own issues.
Hence I told her that she never has to worry about me leaving her for another woman. I refuse to put myself through it a second time. My luck isn't good enough to get this lucky again. |
