What is 401k?


A 401k is money put into an account or in my case the stock market that you can only pull out once you are retired to help Americans put money aside for retirement. I can get mine early because I am considered legally disabled.

And why are you paying your parents to be jerks?


Long story but when I was very first considered legally disabled my parents decided it would be a good idea to deem me legally incompetent to take care of my finances. Which they failed to do for the courts but they did give them a boat load of money to spend in my best interest since the court couldn't decide if I was an idiot or not. Apparently I am too stupid to have more than $1000 in my account but I told my parents they can have what they took but they ain't touching this and I am going to get a car with it and they can kiss my ass.

BTW they think I should not drive because I am autistic... Nice, I don't think I'd do what my friend does and drive stoned all the time but I can handle myself lately. I admit I was a bad driver as a teen but they haven't been in the car with me lately, I illegally drove a neighbours car without a license. I can drive in heavy traffic like Nashville, I just dislike the highway.

So 401k is basically superannuation?

That doesn't really make sense about the legally incompetent part because you are obviously not an idiot.
I don't really understand anything about how people are declared disabled because when I was working in my last job there were clients on disability who were way more able than I am.
I've worked all my life with autism, hearing impairment, speech problems and mutism.
I never really thought of doing anything different.
Now my health is crap I wonder what's going to become of me when I can no longer work?

Well in America they deem rather you can work, than rather you have an income, and finally rather you can take care of yourself with that income. They have whats know as social security payees here for if you are an idiot, my parents where trying to be my payee and are for my assets but not my income. So they don't really have much authority of me and they are not my legal guardians, I am my own legal guardian but hey I guess you can't win every court case.

I have done well in most of my court appearances and only lost outright once. Also I know I am not an idiot and you know I am not an idiot but the world doesn't know that. Unfortunately thats true of my parents, my dad has literally said I don't know how to take care of myself because I am autistic. Thanks dad, thanks a lot. My mom is a little more sane but she is the one that thinks I should never be allowed to drive so yeah. They are jerks but they love me and I know that so I tolerant it.

I also kinda appear disabled, I have some psychical side effects of autism that some people don't have. I shake a lot and not in a normal way, my right arm shakes uncontrollable sometimes. It used to embarrass my dad but lately it hasn't been doing it, I don't know if marijuana helps it but its not doing it now. I think the two are unrelated cause it did it when I was in college when I was 20 but stopped when I smoked weed, than I stopped and it was still gone for a while but came back and than I smoked weed again and I still had the shakes so I don't think they are related. I had them again and it stopped after I started using again so I don't know.

I had a dick of a boss once force me to shake his hand when I was shaking and than looked at me funny. I politely told him I had to go and he insisted that I shake his hand when I had my hands behind my back. I think he knew I was on the spectrum than and always asked how I was doing after that. What a dick, if I am hiding it from you it means I don't want you to know.

Weed helps with sleep, I find I get deeper more quality sleep on it and can sleep for less, 7-8 hours goes a long way on it. There is a crash after a few hours of use to but you can avoid that by just getting high again but its easier and more conservative to use in the evening. Weed aside my sleep pattern is great lately but I have also been getting into more routine things in preparation for college. You get in a routine of laziness when you don't do much, for example why shower if no one is going to see me and so on. So I have been picking up eating regularly and making myself presentable. Most annoying is shaving everyday, the only person that might see me are drug dealers so I don't care if I have a five a clock shadow. However, it might help with dates in college so I am doing it.


.. I don't even know what weed looks like and I doubt that I get to afford any. :lol: Also you're not the first person online to suggested me the same thing regarding to my sleeping schedules.

If I go knitting, my right wrist strains.
If I go crotchet, my left wrist strains.

... Ok, new goal: Be a leftie in knitting and have the right hand handling yarn tensions when using crotchet.

Yes, I can do both. And yes, I abuse my wrists... And my eyes. 8O

What weed? I thought that was exclusively my special interest which. Its not bad if you can afford say, $100 a month and thats if your a daily user. As for appearance, its green, has steams and seeds and kinda crumbly, dank stuff might be a bit sticky. Smells like a burning skunk with different flavors on top of burning skunk. I used to use nyquil as a teenage for sleep even when I wasn't sick, good times.

Honestly though the only way thats not shady is to go to bed the same time every night and get up the same time every morning.

I've welcomed Britain back into my life today. I now have a balance of Canada, Britain and Germany. France is a tricky one. My sister does France much better than I ever will.

Yes, weed. :lol: I had this funny memory of an old online acquaintance telling me 6 ways to consume weed, but that's like over 3 years ago. I barely remembered much of it.
And 100$ a month is... 1/2 of a monthly salary of a FULL time worker in my place. I don't know what skunk smells like nor seen one IRL.


Now, for my random random random: "If you're hyper and you know it, shout 'KITTY!! !'" :lol:

I have a really good story idea, but it's something that doesn't get brought up until much later in my story...maybe I can use a lot of foreshadowing before it gets revealed.
