Uh oh... I feel as though I am in store for a 
rude awakening. I am in highschool. 10th grade to 
be exact. I am 15 years old. I have no job. I get 
money by doing odd jobs or selling cels. I always 
thought that when I got older and had a job that 
I could afford a ton of cels. I never really 
factored in paying all sorts of bills. I have 
spent $1150 on cels at this point in my life. I 
thought that when I got a job I would be able to 
spend much more ^_^ I guess the only way I can 
manage this hobby is by not having to pay any 
bills or anyhting. I don't have any luxery items 
that most 15 year olds have though. I have had 
the same clothes for 4 years. I get the ocasional 
video game for my birthday and a new shirt maybe 
for Christmas. I don't buy much anything accept 
cels. I found that my anime collection (viedos) 
has stopped growing since I began to buy cels. 
Napster has solved any money problems with CDs 
(sorry Keys ;) I don't like those pricy brand 
name clothes and I buy a new pair of shoes every 
2 years. I am going to get a job this summer but 
I will also have a car to pay gas and insurence 
for. Job = taxes so I can't forget that. Actually 
quite a few people here are pretty young 
(although I might be the youngest -_-) and so 
they just don't have to deal with the pressures 
of bills. There are on the other hand, lots of 
people who are "grown-ups" and collect cels so 
they must have some way of dealing with it. All I 
know is that if I had to decide between food for 
a week and a real nice BubbleGum Crisis cel... 
^_^ I would have one more BGC cel.

So long,
