What a typical rainy day... I don't know what it is about these days that make people just want to sleep...
Because that's just what I did. I don't remember hearing either (2 of them) of my alarms go off, I didn't hear my mom leave. Nothing.
My only class today was from 9:30-10:50am. I woke up around 10:20, so either way I would have missed it since it takes me 15 minutes to get to school. Emailed professor and we were just doing review and getting grades back for our 5 page Economics paper - I got a B.
Pardon the very boring post, I'm still supremely tired for some reason.

Anybody want an HTC Inspire? I've rooted and unlocked it as well as taken some of the lovely AT&T bloatware off.

I love city lights

I finally got my English research paper completed and turned in, now to just work on my Health paper - two double spaced typed pages, no problem. About why America is fat? I could write a book on that, give me a break haha.

I'm really looking forward to my visitor coming in this summer. Getting her room all finished up, just gotta find some sort of table or something...something...something. It'll be cool to spend time with her, hopefully I won't be too painfully boring lol

I also have a watch up on eBay, anybody in the US is welcome to bid on it... it's only at two odd dollars right now... should've put a reserve on it, figured it'd go up quicker. Item number: 330719288059

Apart from that, not much happening in the life of this college student. No classes tomorrow, so I'll be up all night probably working on this health paper and watching movies...after I get something to eat. My one square meal today didn't really fill me up. Omelette?

A feast fit for a king!

Well, today I got the Galaxy and Macbook shipped out to their new owners. And this time I ADDED CONFIRMATION AND INSURANCE. Shouldn't have any problems now. SHOULDN'T.
Aside from that, I still haven't received my new debit card - "Oh, it will only take a few days"... a week+, I have a 5-10 page paper due tomorrow for economics explaining why JC Penny is a failing company, still need to finish up my English paper, apparently I have a health paper worth 50 points - which I need after I got my quiz back today, and I'm probably going to Richmond this weekend. So quite busy. Could I complain any more?
Man, I wouldn't mind some warm food on this rainy day... (yes, I could)

I'm just going to bitch a little today - it turns out that when I went to my bank to put a hold on my account to prevent an overdraft, there was a $25 that I wasn't told about which in fact made me overdraft. So I'm going tomorrow to take the hold off and get my money back for that ridiculous charge that I wasn't told about. Had I known about it, I wouldn't have even bothered.
Now that I'm done with that, it's near the end of the semester for me, I've got a quiz tomorrow, a 5-10 page paper for economics and I have to finish my research paper [just small revisions]. And here I am on youtube, yet again... so figured I'd share what's distracting me:

Looks fun, no?

Not a post complaining about eBay or anything today, sorry to disappoint you. Just posting to inform the few people that may read this, if they didn't already know, that I am attempting to go back to Japan this winter over my holiday break. I will be spending Christmas and New Years there. An awesome girl I know in Tokyo took some pictures of sakura for me :) such a pretty time. Maybe one of these years soon I'll be able to skip some school and head over for 花見！And you know if you ever want to help me fund that trip for this winter, you know what to click ;)

eBay update

Just an update for anybody that is at least somewhat interested in what's happening in my life. I had a nice person donate $15 to my Paypal account, names won't be named, but they're awesome regardless.
I also called the customs office again and learned that my package has already left the US, it left out of New York and I asked the guy to e-mail me the documentation that said that so I could forward it to eBay. But... of course a snag has arisen and I have yet to get it. So it looks like I'm calling them again... seriously, what a pain in my ass.

Seriously, fuck eBay.

It's too bad I need them to pay my bills while I'm in school and out of a job. Otherwise I would have just let that negative balance stay in my Paypal account. So I slapped that Galaxy S back up on eBay to hopefully square away this shit with paypal. I'm thinking about getting a shirt and writing "fuck eBay" on it and posting it for sale. Haha, I'm such a prick.
Anyway, help me get this debt squared away so I can actually get back to paying my bills.
Item number: 330716093982
T-Mobile branded Galaxy S. I tried my hand at rooting and unlocking on this phone, it doesn't reject the AT&T sim that I put in it, so I guess we'll see.
Or if you just want to help by donating, I'm $209.46 in the red. Anything helps - a dollar, 50 cents, 5 dollars, and if you want to be really cool, you could just pay it off :D but I wouldn't expect anybody to do that.
Anyway, if you want to donate, click the button on the right. Thanks in advance!

Yeah...

So scratch that last entry. As many may not know, I have been doing eBay stuff for the past 5 years. Recently, I was in an "item not received" case. Well long story short, (1 month ago) the guy paid me, I shipped it out the same day, I thought all was peachy. I get a message from him 3 days ago pretty much telling me "where is it? You're the seller, fix this now." ...Ok? And they didn't think to contact me earlier because....? Anyway, I escalated it into a decision from eBay support. I had evidence that I shipped the item out and all he had was his word saying that he hadn't received it. And well, they decided to go with his word. So they try to refund him $209.46. Funny thing... I don't have it. So my Paypal account is in the negative because of this. I call eBay to try and work it out, I call the post office and customs to see if they can help me. No help whatsoever. Ebay tells me I need proof that it arrived in the destination country. The post office or customs won't tell me if it did or not.
Fast forward to 4.5 hours ago. I'm like "Ok, nobody's going to help me solve this? FUCK YA'LL THEN!" Because as an unemployed college student, $210 isn't chump change. So I drive to my bank, tell them that I want to cancel all future transactions, withdrawing or depositing, from paypal to my bank account. So that's done. They can't touch my bank account. The lady at the bank totally understood my situation and tells me I should also cancel my card. So I get home and cancel my card. That's done - card is bad and I'm getting a new one soon. The bank lady also told me I need to email Paypal and let them know that they're not authorized to access any of my accounts. That's done (in a quite professional way, given the circumstances.)
So now I'm done with eBay. And *hopefully* won't hear any more grief about this whole ordeal. I told the buyer to call his post office and customs office (doubt he will) and to let me know if he receives it in the meantime.
What a great day.

(picture completely irrelevant, I just want to be back)

eBay

It's been a while. I'd almost completely forgotten about this due to my school load being so ridiculous. But it's all starting to wind down, so it's good. Anyway, recently I've been eBaying stuff in to raise a little bit of money for my trip back to Japan this winter. Not saying that whoever reads my blog should bid or bump, but if yah want to ;) First, I got a MacBook: Item number: 330714208616

And second auction is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S: Item number: 330714572032

However - I won't ship internationally, lately I've been involved in a case with some prick from Moldova trying to scam me saying that he never got his item. Funny thing - he bought two cases for it 18 days after I shipped. Plus I have all of the receipts and customs forms.
