Word.
Wut.
I missed a joke here, and it must be a good one.
EDIT: Woops, look like mjmjr25 just misquoted. Never mind me and my stupidity.

Somehow, my balance is about $5 in the red! Yesterday, it was about $2 and change, and now I'm five bucks in the red, even though I haven't used my card at all since Monday night when I bought that wastebasket. And I'm just afraid that my account's just gonna keep hemorrhaging money until I put something in there to bring it to a positive balance, which looks like Monday when I get my next unemployment check. And because of how far the nearest location of my bank is, I can't just go there and get some answers or even to change my address (the address in my account is still my old address, which I haven't lived at in weeks). I mean, the only way I can get there is either I get my brother's ex to get her grandparents' car and drive me there OR ask my mom for bus fare and go there myself. And no one's responded to my Craigslist ad yet, though it has only been less than 24 hours. And I still have yet to hear from ANY of the countless people I've put in job applications with, the exception being Target who turned me down.

Probably just overdraft fees adding up. Call your bank and ask if you have a daily penalty. I have a $6/day penalty on overdrafting at my bank. It seems ridiculous, but it makes you pay close attention to every penny you have. Also, check you bank statement at the end of the month and see if you have any automatic withdraws coming out.
I thought people were supportive of me concerning a huge falling out I had with a long time friend. I found out today that they're being two-faced about it and don't really support me. They support the other party.
I know that sounds really highschool-ish, but it really isn't. It's pretty depressing.

Hey, two birds with one stone I would say.
When I "unfriended" a long time friend after his overstayed visit, my inbox went nuts. He sent me emails of "Stop being a dick...I'm the bigger man here..." all sorts of nonsense I ignored. That's what you have to do, ignore. Sucks to find out some of your friends are dicks, but it happens.

I agree with Luke. My wife and I had a similar experience in law school (which, socially, is very much like high school...) You don't need those "friends". Cut them off and live well.
Well what pisses me off about it is that they don't even know all the details regarding what happened.
I know it's easy to say "hes spinning it in his direction", but truthfully - honestly - I am the "victim" as it were. These people - which unfortunately happen to be family - are "trying not to take sides."
But that's just it, their inaction and trying to stay impartial is pretty much siding with the other party. I found out that several of them have said "he needs to get over it" behind my back. It's just really depressing to find this out when I thought they actually understood what happened and were being supportive.

Ah...that stinks...you can't really cut them off. Do your best to let it slide off you, live well, and try not to trouble yourself with it. (Or, as Dave Chappelle would say, "F*ck 'em.")
Seriously, though, you probably can't change their minds and worrying over what they are saying and thinking will only make a bad situation worse. I am certain you have other people in your life who understand. Look to them for support and forget about the rest.
Smile: After months of barely having any money, I now have almost $2000 in unemployment back payments. I decided to treat myself to something nice before I put the rest towards bills and other boring stuff, so I got a PC Engine with ten games (mostly good ones) for $107 shipped. In general, I've noticed that PC Engine games tend to be more reasonably priced than their american equivalents, so I think I'm just gonna do that from now on, unless it's a game like Neutopia that has a lot of text.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.
