I wouldn't do this if I wasn't desperate but... but I really am right now.

I need a job. I've been looking all over for months but as soon as anybody sees my tattoo, they laugh in my face. I don't need anything special, really, and I don't have too many great skills but I'm willing to learn just about anything!

I-It's just that... I can't keep stayin' with Isaac and Miria forever. A-and someone offered me a place, but I can't do anything if I don't get some kind of job so I can pay rent first, right? And... I'm gonna have to start paying for school by myself. Since my parents won't fill out the forms for financial aid and everything...

I-I really need a job guys. Any kinda leads would be helpful I'm so sorry I'm askin'--But I really need your help.

[HE GOT SO CLOSE TO A WHOLE POST WITHOUT CRYING but now he's sniffling. So this is a great place to hang up.]

We're in desert, dude. No use for a fancy raincoat in the desert.

You're never gonna go anywhere where it does rain?

[It has to rain once in a while, right?]

Having a rainy vacation day doesn't justify blowing two thousand bucks on a coat. Maybe one of them fancy designer umbrellas, sure. Those are only like a hundred bucks, though.

[That's a lot of money on a rain coat. And why would anyone live where it never rains?]

It must be really hard with it being dry all the time...

[shineonyou]

Not too hard-- I mean, y'know my city's got some of the best water conservation laws in the U.S. How cool is that? If you've got green grass in your yard, you'll get your butt taxed hardcore. We also, like, reuse all our water...

... which is kinda gross if you think about it.

I guess they filter it really well, right? It's weird thinking there's no grass or anything.

[shineonyou]

I hope they filter it really well... [ hold on give him two seconds he's having an internal crisis about drinking filtered pee




ok hes good ]

Grass is just kinda wasteful out here. Super wasteful. Not great at all.

T-there's chemicals and stuff, right? I know everywhere has recycled water, so it's--

It's gotta be safe, right?

[shineonyou]

No one's really dying in Vegas, right? Well, besides all the murders recently. Murders that've been happenin' around water-- that's what that one girl on the network said.

...Water that's been recycled....

...Dude.

[The way Jacuzzi screams.]

Why are you still living there?!

video;

[shineonyou]

I don't know. I'm drinkin' pee water, which is somehow increasing my chances of getting murdered. Where's the president in all this?! Why ain't he doin' anything here?! No one's safe in this city!

Re: video;

[gunhearted]

Nobody's safe anywhere! [HE'S SO UPSET ABOUT THIS.]

[shineonyou]

How do I evacuate everyone in Las Vegas?

Re: video;

[gunhearted]

Tell them exactly what you just said?! I'd get out!

video;

[shineonyou]

Do I get on TV?! Post a blog entry about this?! Do I write to the newspaper?! DOES ANYONE STILL READ THE NEWSPAPER?!

video;

[gunhearted]

[A pause.]

... I do is that weird?

video;

[shineonyou]

That's so weird.

[gunhearted]

But it's free on campus...

[shineonyou]

Are you secretly fifty years old?

video;

[gunhearted]

I don't have my own computer or anything...

video;

[shineonyou]

Do you know what smart phones are?

video;

[gunhearted]

My parents took me off their plan so I don't have data anymore...

video;

[shineonyou]

...Television....?

video;

[gunhearted]

I don't want to get in Isaac and Miria's way...

[shineonyou]

Do you live in a cellar or somethin'?
