... and it seems so funny that I trust telling you more about this than I do my irl friends.

I got arrested a week or so ago for protesting on the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm scared of the stressors of having my own apt, the fines that come with being arrested and worst of all, jail time.

I hurt my ankle a week ago and am worried I won't be able to go back to work and make the money I need to pay rent. I'm scared that I have to rely on others that don't understand my alcoholism to buy me half gallons of vodka every other day. I had to call my mom to help me do laundry this weekend and she insinuated that my arrest/injury indicates that god doesn't want me to protest. Sorry if you all believe in it, but I can't deal with the one person I have left, blindly helping me through this, telling me I need to become Christian. Fuckin' A.

All that I'm saying is I'm no badass and I really love and need a morning screwdriver. I can't go to jail, y'all. I guess I should start tapering off the alcohol soon, just in case.

Someone tell me going to jail isn't like the TV show "Scared Straight".

Edit: In response to john_smith...this is a CA at 1pm on a Monday.

Edit 2: Posted this right after talking to the NLG representative who told me jail was a possibility and got a little melodramatic. Things'll work themselves out. Thanks for your support, guys.
