So your reason for not looking for a job is because you don't have a phone? Are you serious? You can EASILY get a job through craigslist helping someone move or clean for some petty cash and buy a crappy pre paid one for 30 bucks. You have a computer now so I'd be using it to it's fullest ability to accumulate money. I've done this enough times to survive off buying the same crappy gas station food for 5 months. I found a job with a moving company paying me $15/hour to lift things. I even found a production company to hire me as a movie extra for $12/hr. They never asked me for a phone number, they just told me to show up.
You want a place to stay but don't want roomates? If you don't want roommates/a roommate then you have no right to complain about living in a shelter or on the street because you cant afford a place on your own, which I know for a FACT is not as safe as a single room being shared with one other person, who may be a lot nicer and hospitable than you think.
Do you have any friends with a spare room willing to take you in for a short time? My friend let a co-worker live in his basement for a month after she was evicted before she could move. For free. All she did was clean the place up. My ex even let my friend who suffered from a cocaine addiction live in her basement for 6 months after he was kicked out of the Army and his own house. Really, if he can find a place to live, I think you can too.
If you're in college apartments does that not mean you're in college? Maybe look into financial aid until you're forced out of there? Yeah its debt, but it's not like you're willing to go about getting a real job atm. You really have no choice. No job = no money = no food => stabbing people for their wallet, and we don't want that.
Surviving is surviving. It's ugly and you take what you get. There's no room for comfort or nice things, just working a sweat for a worthless cheque or even the scraps left on a table at the mall food court, only to take a bath in the sink of a public washroom and sleeping under a bridge hoping you don't get robbed or stabbed.
If you want to survive, finding a room mate should be the least of your concerns. It should actually be a priority so you can get a real job in the meantime.
okay a few things Spike:
1. dont assume that i havent
(REMOVED) tried, and plus, with no transport of my own, im **censor** in that aspect too.
2. i said i wasnt asking for roommates from random people. i have been led on too many times by supposedly good people to be that damn trusting.
(REMOVED) i dont want to be in some random person i dont even know's house.
3. if i had any, why would i ask for advice on this? thats right! i wouldnt.
4. lets see, if that was an option, do you think i would be asking for advice on this? thats right! i wouldnt.
5. its not so much the fact of im not taking what i can get, its the fact of i wouldnt last a full week more than likely in there, because what i said they do is taking the BASIS of religion and throwing it out the window.
6. make up your mind. seriously. read that last line again. "should be the least of your concerns." "should be a top priority."
(REMOVED) this is not a joke to me, it is seriously the difference between life and death more than likely due to
(REMOVED) SNOW already having fallen, and stuck around for about THREE
(REMOVED) DAYS.
PS: in order of paragraph of yours.
