My first freelancing check ever, without FICA!

Yes, when you freelance and they pay, they do not take out taxes. HAHAHA! To actually EARN money, and not wait for the government to dispense it in untimely fashion (student loans or grants) is quite nice. I forgot what it was like to have a paycheck! Sure it's only sixty-four dollars and twenty four cents, but hey! I earned it!

And to think it's going to happen about every week from now on. Isn't that crazy? Brian was so excited, wanted to see what a check looked like when the government doesn't rape you. I bought him Twilight Princess with it, since Walmart fucked him out of his.

So I sit here, working, snacking on my Dill Pickle Lay's (now with 20% more! the package proclaims) and sipping a Dr. Thunder... I feel... good. Brian has been playing his game for atleast three hours, giddy at the thought of a christmas present he REALLY REALLY wanted. I never get to give actual presents, just crap. I don't know.. maybe leaving school and trying to do my own thing was really worth it.

So the question is, should I xerox it and frame it, or should I just cash it? OMG! I got paid, for not making subway sandwiches or signing lengthy contracts promising the government my third testical and first born! I'm just excited.... HEEEEEEE!
