My boyfriend has got me something for Christmas and he WON'T TELL ME WHAT.
He's doing the whole 'giving me clues but they're so obscure it's just making me more and more curious thing'.
AND HE WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT HOW AMAZING IT IS.
If he keeps this up I'll be expecting something waaaaay ott and then I'll be disappointed. xD
I'm dying right now omg LET ME KNOW FFS.

It's painful and s'actually been out for a good 2 years or so. The show isn't all that new either.

Have this too.

[cowmuflage]

I only heard of the show this year. Then again New Zealand gets things later than everyone else XD

[Crotalus Horridus]

I tried to edit the page so it could say that Fred the movie and its sequels were all proof of the collapse of the human species, but it was, not kidding, instantly removed.

Apparently Fred is precious.

[starkittens]

I'm going to go and get my shot gun, and head to Hollywood, any body else with me?

[Crotalus Horridus]

I'll bring my gunship.

[Bonita]

Wasn't there a Fred show and now this Marvin Martin thing or are they the same thing?

I need to let this out somewhere. So happy to see there is a rant thread here. This might be a bit all over the place, I'm sorry. Im just typing as it all comes back to me. I really hope I'm not breaking the "Don't rant about people or situations on this forum" rule.. I'm assuming that means about people on here? If not, please feel free to remove this. I don't mind. Again, really sorry.

I moved in with one of my WoW friends a few months ago. They were struggling and my father was threatening to kick me out onto the streets. So we thought that we could help each other out. I help out by helping pay rent and I get a place to live. Sounds normal, right?
WRONG!
These are not bad people. I know this. They're at a terrible place in life right now. My WoW friend's mom was assaulted by his other son, their grandmother dies a horrible death from Dementia, and their 13 year old dies soon after from suffering 2 or more years of a disease called Cushing's Disease (Which the vet 2 years ago never told them she had). Her other son (the one that attacked her) had two sons, so that added to food stamps a little bit. With him working and their Grandmothers money coming in, they were able to afford this place we're now at... But all that is gone now.
Now, before anyone says anything, I've only worked a few times in my life. I'm kinda a n00b. I guess I never really learned how to be an adult. Same with my friend. That's not an excuse, but that's how it is. We're also in the middle of nowhere. You HAVE to have a car to get to anywhere. It's not a long drive, but it's far enough to the point where you can not run and it is really not safe to ride a bike here (I'm too plump anyways lol) I don't know how to drive, neither does he. And then there is the cost of gas and such.
Anyways, for the first two months, his Mom was pulling many rabbits out of her hat to pay rent and the bills while working online and helping us find something on Odesk.com. I offered to pay a month or two of rent to help get things settled and give us time, but shed refused for those first two months and got quite upset when ever I brought it up.
But then, she finally accepted. I was happy to help! I paid 2 months in FULL rent and even took care of all the bills (though that was not what I had planned to do). I thought it was great that now we had time to figure things out... But it soon came to my attention that... Well. It seemed like they were kinda slacking a bit now that I had paid things. I know they didn't mean it, but... That's how it ended up. Before we knew it, we had bills and rent again with no jobs for me and my friend! I guess I should have hinted more about us needing to find something. I would every now and again, but I didn't want to get them mad for nagging at them. You know? That's not me.
So, as the months go on, I pay for a few more bills and even pay for more FULL rent. I came to this house with $7k from my own Grandmothers will.. And I ended up with $400 left. I remember telling her that it was all gone. It wasn't all gone, but that's not much to live on! This was supposed to be money for me.. College maybe... Though I had always planned to put it towards something I have always really wanted. I guess it's silly though. I shouldn't be so greedy and just use that much on myself. I'm human though, and because of that, I do like having nice things that make me happy. I'm honestly very easy to please and don't ask for much. But I guess what I wanted was too much. Paying bills is more important. Did I mention she smokes? I don't think I did.. So I've been buying her Cigs too, which really kills me. I've never done drugs, smoked, or drank in my life.. So buying Cigs has really left a mark on me. It may seem like nothing, but it's like scarred me.
So back on topic. I remember telling her it was all gone, and she kept begging me to get some milk. It really bugged me, because we had plenty to drink (I keep suggesting just water from the sink if it gets down to it, but these guys refuse to drink it. They want bottled water. Real drinks) like soda and such to last us till foodstamps, which were in a week or so. I couldn't say no though. I couldn't. I don't know how. I felt like crap that I wanted to say no to someone who just wanted a galleon of milk. But I have paid ALL THE BILLS AND RENT for the past few months. ALL OF IT. Not me paying my share with them. It was ONLY ME.
I don't remember when it happened exactly, but at one point I remember her saying that "We should now really get serious about this" about the bills and such. I wanted to just scream right there "YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY?! JUST BECAUSE IM PAYING YOU GET TO SLACK? NO! THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS. WHY WERE YOU SLACKING?" But.. Again, I guess I should have just hinted more when we still were good on rent and such.
They had got a Great Dane on Craigslist before I got here to keep their first dog company. He's big for a Dane too. I only mention this because while a dog to protect the family is nice... It's not really for poor people, let alone a Dane which A. Does not live long. and B. Has quite a few medical problems like the possibility of getting Bloat. It wasn't too long ago that my friends mom was considering getting another dog. I kept hinting that it was not a good time for that and we couldn't afford feeding them both. Heck, we've even had to go into a pet store a few times and take bunches of their free sample dog food just to feed the one we have now! But no, she was set on it. She put an ad out that she was looking for another big breed dog, and even had one come to the house for a playdate (which I'm glad did not go well). She was almost ready to set up another playdate with another dog when I got an email from my father that he saw how empty my bank account was and let me know how he felt about it. I kinda felt like my Grandmothers spirit nudged him to go check on my funds so that we would not get another dog. I read the email to my friends mother, and that shut the second dog idea down right away. But I still feel pretty hurt that she thought she could get another dog. It felt to me like she was going "Yeah we can get another dog, Bowno will pay for the dog food!" I know that is not how it was or not how she really meant it, but that's how it felt.
Then there's my friend. We've been friends for many many years on WoW. We're good buddies. He's kinda like me. But this guy... Some times I just want to shake him. His mother has found him TONS of great jobs online like writing WoW articles or even WoW stories! He's a roleplayer, so he's good at those things. But every single thing she offers him he makes some half assed excuse why he can't do it. He just doesn't want to work. I understand that. I don't want to work! But I will. Everything is an issue though for him. He wont just shut up and start making money to help pay rent. He just wants to play games. As nice as that is, we just CANT do that right now. We're in a bad spot. And these were GREAT jobs. When he FINALLY did do a WoW job to simply LINK WoW VIDEOS AND GUIDES then WRITE 4-5 SENTENCES ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE, he half asses it so he can get back to WoW faster, and of course does not get hired back and gets bad feedback.
I feel so drained. Because of all this stress, I have not had my period for 3 months. I know I'm not preggers. I've never done the dirty and my friend is just a friend. To be honest, I'm very much less attracted to him now after all this. My lack of my monthly cycle has me even more stressed out because I'm not sure if something actually is wrong with me. I can't tell my parents about that either, because the first thing they're going to think is that I got knocked up here. They will not believe me unless I have a doctor do tests and say himself that I am not pregnant. Yeah, my family doesn't trust me at all.
I did mange to work a bit though! My friends mother managed to set me up with some telemarketing for a client. The list ended up sucking though. We were getting tons of wrong numbers and wrong information. The wrong info ruined our sales when we read them off. The client finally let us go because he could not afford to keep going with the terrible lists he was getting. While I was working though, something started to worry me. Because my money I had worked for had to go through her, she was using it to pay the bills too. I understand that though. That's fine. What bothered me is that she'd give me some money, MY working money and say that was to pay me back for something. No. That's not how it works. That's money I worked for. This is not payback money. I need my work money PLUS payback money. Otherwise, it's pointless. SO I'm pretty worried that she's going to keep doing that and it really upsets me. Honestly, I'm trying not to cry right now.
I hate the fact that I'm crying over money. I dont want to be a person that is like "OMGOMGOMGMONEYISAMAZINGILOVEIT". No. I'm not one who cares about money. I care about being happy and making others happy. But... With how things are these days, one can not help but to worry about money. One can't help crying over money. I hope that makes sense?
At his current moment, we're about ready to lose everything. Our Christmas was sitting around eating some boiled potatoes and nothing more. We also learned that our cable was going to be shut off in a few days, which means that my friends mom will not be able to work since she works online. So we have no way to pay the other bills. We have 3 boxes of ricearoni and 2 boxes of pasta. One sausage in the freezer, 2 cans of soda, half a galleon of grape juice and 2 slices of cheese to last us till the 10th (we get foodstamps then). We can't get a new place to live, because before they moved here, they were booted out of their apartment and that killed their credit. Though that is not fair, because back then, they were paying their rent on time for 10 years. But what is done is done. You also need first month's rent and security. Which we can not afford to do. There is nothing we can do.
I've been drained of everything. All my money, all my love, and my health. I'm at the point where I cal feel myself going crazy.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might as well since this is a rant thread. Oh well. But most nights I just toss myself into bed and sob. But like... It's not like a normal sobbing. You know those movies when people go all crazy and have crazy looking wide eyes? It's like that. I fee like I'm about to snap. I feel like I need to be taken by the men in white coats and locked away. I'm not going to hurt any one. I know I wont. But I'm slowly losing my mind.

I'm sorry if this was too much. I might have abused this rant thread a little bit. I'm sorry.

Bowno, you didn't abuse the thread. You were right to come here. Money is okay to cry about. I'm jobless currently but finding employment right now is a nightmare with the whole fiscal cliff bullshit. Money is stressing everyone out right now. I dunno about them but you need to concern for YOU. Obviously, your health is on the line. It's unhealthy for you to not have gotten your period in 3 months because it's your body's way of cleaning itself too. You need to get to a doctor stat and get out of that house. This family has been poison to you, imho. You need to go back to your parents and have them help you. I'm almost certain they will help. *hugs*

[Eternallylostx]

I'm going to go and get my shot gun, and head to Hollywood, any body else with me?

Me! Me!

*hug* Thanks. And yeah, Hopefully I can get to a doctor before I'm taken off my fathers insurance X.x That is not a bill I'm looking forward to.
I keep telling myself they are not bad people.. But what has been going on just isn't right, I understand that. I dunno. Maybe I'm just too stubborn to see the truth?
I hope you find a job too D: It would be really nice if the economy would just fix itself so we could all get back to the way things used to be.

I hate how I work so hard on a drawing, but then my camera goes and makes it look like an absolute freaking mess and failure.

This is the best advice I can think of. Go back to your family and worry about YOURSELF. If they can't pay for a dog and house/apartment, they shouldn't have one, or at least be forced to work somewhere. Welfare isn't a way to get hands to hold through life, neither is loans.

Then again, I'm only 15, so I haven't been into the "real world" yet.
