So, let's do the math.

[apocalypsos]

If I don't go anywhere for the next two weeks other than work, and don't buy any more food, and don't go out to the bar and strip club for my co-worker's birthday this weekend, and don't buy my mother another Christmas present, and pretty much just don't spend any money at all between now and the end of the month, I should have JUST enough to pay for my car payment, my insurance, and my rent.

Brilliant.

Have I mentioned how much I love being poor?

(Of course, this is if I don't manage to unload my old car between now and then, but with my luck I'm not about to rush to the store, you know what I mean?)

EDIT: Do you think it might be a good idea to compile a collection of CSI fanfic for my mom to read? I mean, I have ink, paper, and a really nice report cover, and yeah, okay, it's cheap but it's not like I can afford expensive and she knows it. (In which case, is there a CSI version of spnstoryfinders?)

Ah, okay. I'm mainly G/S myself (though I agree on the C/W stuff, or occasionally C/Greg if it's done well). May I suggest Cheers' (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/224364/) "Ghost" and "Remuneration"? Two old but excellent team stories with Grissom in peril, very in-character but no pairings. They're nice and long, too.

I know there are other good stories out there; if she'd like Catherine/original character, there's DixieHellCat's good series here (http://www.geocities.com/marcmarc2/fanfic2.html) (scroll down to the CSI stories section). I've only read the first two as I didn't know there were more, but I thought them quite good.

Good luck...
