I need some help guys.

I had a lot of money saved on the side for my planned trip to New York this summer to see boyfriend graduate and help him move here, but well "had" is the keyword here.

My tuition was a bit more than I expected this semester, and with the price of them darling textbooks I had to dive into my savings to pay it all, plus during school time I only work weekends so my pay is never going to be able to catch up in time for his graduation date.  :(

So I'm not going to outright ask you all to "gimme" but if you feel like donating to the cause of Shaz's eternal happiness and help me be less stressed about working in retail I would love you all forever and ever and send out karma points like there's no tomorrow.

OK well that was cheesy but yeah back to all seriousness, I really want to go see him graduate because it's not like this happens all the time, and while he's being nice about me not being able to come he's pretty much heartbroken over all this. (I can't ask him for money, he's saving as much as possible for his move out here)
 
In the back of my head I kept thinking I'd really break out the sap and the unhappiness and how I'd talk about how I need him and want to be there for him, but it's just conflicting with pride because I feel so weird with having to ask for help in this kind of situation... I just really want to be able to see him again and have fun before all the stress of him moving here has to (inevitably) start.

I set up a paypal button on my side bar, I'm not asking for giant amounts cuz I know everyone is stressing about cash right now, but if you feel like giving that would be awesome and I would find someway of paying you back.

Or if you want, you can buy something from my etsy shop, I'm willing to lower the price on some pieces if you send me a private message to discuss it.

I would really appreciate it, we both would.

Would it help to buy your paintings on Etsy? That way it'd be more of a give and take relationship, yes?

As it happens, I was in an extremely similar situation not too long ago. When my check comes in, I am totally donating something, because I totally feel your pain.

Well yeah that would, and I can lower the price on a painting if you're really interested

I will most likely contribute through PayPal. I'll see what I can scrounge up from under the sofa cushions. Last time I found a Cheeto!

I only proposed the idea so maybe you wouldn't feel so weird with having to ask for help in this kind of situation.

Cheetos are nice... puffy or crunchy?

How about I give you a handicap? I'll wear an eyepatch the next round.

Why don't you just get your gall bladder removed, that would even it up pretty good.

I am in a similar I-wanna-see-my-boy situation. In my case, moving out to him, so I know what you's feelin'. I'm jobless and trying to save all I can to move, but if I can help a little bit, I will :)

Aw shazzle, you guys are too cute. I didn't know you had a shop on Etsy! I just added you to my favorites - we're The Collector Detector (so you don't think you have a weirdo stalker).
