>---WARNING RANT!---<
Oooooh, yes. I've become the enemy of the world, because it curses me with bad luck! Let's begin this lovely story of unfortunate events!
It began on the 23rd of October. I was awaiting my transfer for the funds of my grant for school. I've been eager for the grant to come, so I can register for classes in January and buy my plane ticket to PR. My school said they would classify my trip to PR as an educational one to improve my spanish, so it would also be covered by this wonderful grant. When I logged into my bank account, I noticed that the $USD3,487.19's was not there. Instead, my account was in the hole -$USD326.76... Now... My expression was somewhat like this:
Immediately, I reached for the phone to see what the hell was going on. The way this middle man company of the U.S. whom refer to themselves as MDGROUP had explained it to me was that they would first put in my grant money and then withdraw their charges. This, did not happen. After painstakingly talking to someone who didn't really speak english, I gave up and called my bank. My bank assured me that they would get a refund for this companies charges, but it will take over a month. So, for a month, I have no money. Mind you... I had just quit my job, because I thought that I would have my grant money and be able to move into an apartment near campus during the last week of October. I also had plans to move out of my current housing.
So... I thought I would just get my job back. Nope. Because, later that week my wonderful car broke down. On my lovely way to get cheesy sticks from Pizza Hut, we hit a pot hole that hit our muffler and snapped it in half. My car still runs, but I can't drive it because it violates the vehicle noise laws. Since I don't have a license, driving it would be suicide...I can't afford a ticket for driving unlicensed when I don't have any money. I took a deep breath! Brandon's parents offered to repair it for me for only $USD35.00's. Not bad at all. But wait... I don't have any money! I tried to explain this to them, but they stubbornly requested $USD35.00's. So, off to selling things I went! Except all the money I made selling things went towards bills at the house I was leaving.
Alright! Before I could take care of my car, I had to find new housing. This is where measures got desperate! I stayed with my grandma for three days, then went to my step-dad's and then ended up at Kim's. Who is Kim you ask? You don't want to know. My sister and I now live in the basement of Kim's house free of charge. Even though Kim is a b***h, brat and selfish fat lady, she's letting us stay with her. While I stay here, I watch and take care of my sistah. Now, my sister isn't my REAL sister, but I like to think she's my family. Being adopted, you get a lot of family.
So, I live in a city. Woo-hoo! I'll have a easy time getting jobs and selling art here! I got hired to paint a mureal, do some small sketches here and there for tattoo parlors, but in the end... I didn't make much money. All the money I made went towards ramen and food. While I was merilly going about drawing and painting, I hadn't been checking on my bank account. On November 1st, I noticed there was another withdrawal from my bank account by a NHS group. Well... Who the hell were they and why were they taking money out of my account? So, TO THE PHONE I WENT! I called my bank, got the number of this NHS group and called them.
They were a Health Insurance Provider... Now... Why the hell is a Health Insurance company taking money out of my account? I'm 19. I don't need health insurance, because I'm still covered by my step dad... For the first time, I got pissed off at someone over the phone. This person spoke english and knew every word that was coming out of my mouth, but they insisted that I wanted their services. I did not... So! My bank began doing an investigation on them. I love my bank. They take care of me. Over the next few days, I bummed around trying to figure out the damn bus schedules in the cities. @_@ They confuse my lil brain, I tell ya. I was trying to get a job and figure out if I could find a bus to bring me to that job. After awhile, I checked back on my bank account. On November 8th, that Health Insurance company took out $USD299.99 from my lovely account. This is how I felt:
After quite the fiery phone argument with me, the Health insurance company put the first $USD29.95 back in and the $USD299.99 in as well. I never knew how persuasive I could be when angry. >.> That's when my bank called me back. The Health Insurance company had gotten ahold of my account through that devil called the MDGROUP. Those whores! MDGROUP is a dirty slut. I haven't gotten back to yelling at those bastards... I'm still debating who is going to pay for all my overdraft fees. Cause my bank charges you $USD34.00 everytime money is taken out from your account and you go into the negatives. So, since that MDGROUP came, I have $USD102.00 in overdraft fees. Not to mention that I had monthly bills taken out of my account as well since they decided to make me go below my balance. Right now... My bank account is sitting at -$USD463.58 and will do nothing but go downhill until that damn MDGROUP gives me my return. In this time, I'm not allowed to cash checks into my account...or even at my bank.
On things NOT related to money and moving around, my laptop's charger died. It just died. I didn't have my laptop for two and a half weeks, because I was spiraling downwards into depression at my bank account status. xd In that time, my friends said that I was the happiest depressed person. How does that work? I don't know. When I'm frustrated/angry, I smile like you wouldn't believe. My smile is HUGE and just plastered on my face. I guess its funny to listen to my rants... My friends were rolling around like crazy when listening to me. ><; I'm sooooooooo happy my pain amuses them! Anywho... When my laptop's charger came back, I was so happy! I was finally able to draw!!!! When I plugged in my tablet to start drawing... the tip of my pen broke. Yup.... It broke... SO! Currently, I'm hiding in my bedroom, watching anime, making funny jokes for my roommates and roleplaying on gaia. There are many, many more terrible things that happened to me over the last month and a half, but I think I've written enough....
HOWEVER! THROUGH ALL OF THIS I SMILE AND MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH! THE WORLD WILL NOT TAKE ME DOWN! I SHALL DESTROY IT!!!!! WATCH OUT! HAHAHAHAHA! SO YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY WORLD!? This is what I say:
WOOOOOO~ Can't nobody bring the Lulu down! I'M INVINCIBLE!!! RAWR!
