You know what, one-hundred dollans a month would be pretty heckin'. No, it doesn't exactly pay the bills, but it represents a lot more to me than being a productive member of society — it represents adequacy. As in, the feeling that "I am an artist and I'm pretty okay at being one!" If anything, an extra bill each month makes the quality of my life a lot better. It's a cold Mountain Dew at the dead of night, an extra blast of caffeine to set my happy chem's straight.

If I manage to extort one-hundred dollars from the lot of you's, I'll. . . probably keep doing what I'm doing — just with a stronger sense of ferver.
