The Mission: A trip to Sacramento this July so I can spend some quality time with my boyfriend.

The Objectives: To love and be loved by my sweetheart, to see the sights of Sacramento, to kick everyone's ass in paintball, to spend at least one day out at Lake Tahoe, to possibly get laid for the first time n_n;;, and to generally have the best few days of my life.

The Obstacle: The plane fare alone is likely to be about $250+, and add hotel/food/transportation/activity cost, I'm looking at needing a minimum of $500, preferably around $600 so that we aren't eating at McDonalds every night. ._.

The Solution: Assuming I still won't be able to find a job here in Chicago any time soon, I'm going to need a bit of help. I can possibly raise about $200 on my own just be being careful with my food money, and I might be able to sell off some games that I never play anymore. Some rarer games like Xenogears and Final Fantasy VII still go for quite a bit (I've seen some go for $20 and some go for near $50, depending on the quality). I could try begging for some donations, but I doubt it'd work since most people are just as broke as I am.

Anyone have any ideas that could help me out?
