When life hands you lemons, make apple juice... then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ........................................................................................................................ It seems like I'm always getting bombarded with questions about my honour level/earnings/goal. And when I tell people that it’s a long story, and I would rather not share, some people result to sending me PMs asking me to tell them privately if I won't tell them in the shout =/ This is getting a bit tedious. Please understand that when I decline to answer your questions it is not because I'm trying to be rude or flippant, but because if I were to always answer those questions every time I was asked, it would seem pretentious. I just want to help out a family-friend, nothing more and nothing less. I guess no one here knows the saying “When you give, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” lol. Anyway, I realized that if I want people to stop interrogating me every time I enter the shout, I will have to stop procrastinating and just type this on my profile (Thanks for the suggestion Darkninja xD A.K.A my brother-from-another-mother lol) .......................................................................................................................... So, for those nose... uhhhh I mean curious people who keep pestering me to give them the long story, here you go lol ........................................................................................................................... My goal was a laptop for a family-friend. He will be attending college in another country, and since it would be more expensive to buy one there, I thought I would surprise him by buying him a laptop for his birthday. My uncle was arranging to visit him for his birthday, and my plan was to purchase the laptop in time for the trip….. but both the trip and birthday were months ago. So, as you can see, my plans have already crashed and burned. I tried to earn the amount I needed between 2 sites, however, the second site scammed me out of hundreds of dollars -_- I had already wasted months waiting for my Amazon gift cards from the other site before I finally decided to earn the rest of the money here. I'm still "new" because, 1) I don't mind my honour level; My goal seems more important to me than an innocuous colour change. 2) Why would anyone be in a hurry to look like Bot and his high level minions? xD 3) The honour level cash and extra offers I will receive for leveling up will not make my goal any less impossible to earn. It may give me a finite push toward the laptop, but that will not change that fact that I can't earn hundreds of dollars in such a short time-frame. I have already given up. There is no way I can earn what I need in time so it would make more sense to just buy the laptop myself. But he has probably already purchased one. So, I will stick with plan B (even though it would defeat the purpose of why I created this goal in the first place). I will just withdraw all of the cash I have here on p2s, add more to it, and send it to him as a late-birthday present. It may be more than my original goal, but oh well :)
