I've been bumed out. We're having a slew of issues with getting the new apartment. Apparently, not our current apartment, but the one we left back in April 2001 is now - as of last month - reporting that I owe them all kinds of money. Called them yesterday and they called back 23 hours later saying they had sold my account to a collection agency. Mind you, I knew none of this for 2 1/2 years because a) I DON'T owe them anything anb b) when I got my credit report as of September, this most certainly wasn't on there. The new place can't let us in until we can get this straightened out, but now that it's in collections, we can't just get the apartment complex to fix the issue, we have to fight with a third party who's not going to want in the slightest to write off charges that are NOT mine because they paid to have my account. Ugh. So, it looks like a long and drawn out battle and most likely will require the help of either a) lawyer (which I don't have and don't have money for) or b) the media like the local newschannel "on your side" type people (though who knows if I could get them to help. In addition, our current complex won't give them our rental information for the past two years until we give them our 30-day notice. But if we give the 30 day notice and the new place ends up not approving us afterall, well, then won't we be in the shitter? We won't have a place to live and nothing lined up!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Fucking Twin Lakes. Fuck them up their fucking asses. I just so don't need this shit. And apparently, it's only on MY record - not mine and my Love's (despite the fact that we were bothon the lease.) And the new place won't approve the application with just his name on it if I'm living there as well. They required me to fill out an application and we BOTH have to "pass" in order for either of us to move in there. Originally I didn't want to bother filling out an app since I don't have "verifiable income" (i.e. the random amounts I get from selling horns, jewelry and misc. database work and such done is basically under the table and there's no paperwork/checks involved) and I wasn't on this current lease because it was started before I moved in here and I quite frankly have shit for credit. (I'm at that more then halfway stage though where it's nothing but awkward. Right now, it's shit, but if I started paying things off, I'd just reset my date of these accounts showing up whereas if I can just wait another year or two, they'll fall off on their own and my credit will be clean again) We'd be approved already if it weren't for fucking Twin Lakes. AND...to add insult to injury, not only did they sell my account to a collection agency so that now I have to deal with them instead of the complex, BUT...the complex itself doesn't have any records because not only is there new staff at this point, there is also new a new management company that owns them!

It's so damned unfair. My word against theirs. Theirs holds all the sway and weight despite the fact that it's not the same people, company or ownership in the slightest and they're going on perhaps a handful of jotted notes by someone almost three years ago. BAH.

So needless to say I'm overwhelmed and beyond frustrated. There's SO MUCH we need to do IF we're getting this place but we can't start any of it until we know for sure. It's a different electric company; we need renter's insurance policy; we'd need to arrange the transfer of cable and phone; we need to pack, sort and SELL items; there's things we'd need to BUY (like a tv stand because our entertainment center needs to be sold since it won't fit in the new living room configuration)....... nothing can happen though because we have NO idea what is going to occur. And our "planned" move in date is December 10th. Tell me exactly how in less then a month we can get all this done when the days tick by and we still don't even know if we're moving or not??

I'm going to stop ranting. I'm just really upset, unhappy and unbelievably depressed right now. The only thing getting me through the day is that we already planned to head to WDW again on Saturday (hey, we've got the passes, we're going to fucking use them). I need the escape. Tomorrow's payday for my Love as well which is good so we can pay the heap of overdue bills and put some food back in the fridge. Ugh...all this and my mom emailing me to nag about if I'm going to see them for the holidays (I haven't spoken to her in months and I have to say it's been calm and peaceful on that front; I'm almost loathe with everything else going on to deal with my family on top of it), figure out what we're doing for Thanksgiving and let's not forget next month is xmas. Joy of joys.

Out for now. Love's going to bed and I'm going to stop pounding on the keyboard.

Blah. I have a headache. I think it has to do with the fact that I had to take some Aleve today. (I had to take the Aleve because it remains pretty much the only thing which helps get rid of my cramps. But, it also causes the oh-so-fun side-effect of having headaches and sometimes even nudging towards migraines.) I also feel really feverish but that's just crazy since, afterall, I did take painkillers so even if I were feverish, it should take care of it. Ugh. Either way, I just don't feel good. I'm thinking it's an early night for me - as in I'll be ready for bed by like 10 or so. I wouldn't mind going to bed now, but it just seems really wrong to go to bed at 8:30pm.

Anyway, that's today. Tomorrow will probably be more of the same since I usually get two days of this fun. Blah.

So...totally mad. Utterly missed the Total Lunar Eclipse on November 8th. And not for lack of knowing about it but rather for an utterly cloudy sky and zero visability of the moon. *sighs* I barely got to see the one for my birthday (back may 15th-16th) and this one was supposed to be even better and not so much as a glimpse. Poop monkey.

Matric Revolutions - no real spoilers, just commentary
Today though we FINALLY had a cool day. Though to forecast said otherwise, it only got in the upper 70's and it was BEAUTIFULLY breezy. Yeah! We went and saw the Matrix: Revolutions and...er. Yeah. It was...um...yeah. It deserves another *sigh* There were a few things I liked about it, but the entire movie was the most boring part: the attack on/defense of Zion. There was very little Neo (hello? Main character!) and very little of what initially made the movie/concept so cool. Plus, it really felt like you were missing vital peices of the story; like, after hearing how bored people were with all the dialouge in the second one they nixed it all out and left you with very disturbing battles and action instead. (And far too much of it.) Plus, I had to explain what I think was the ending to my Love and my friend Rand because well, none of us were all too sure what exactly happened since, once again, there seemed so much just missing. Blah. Could have been SO much better then it was and it seems the whole series just slid down into a pit that it couldn't recover from.

Working on some items to go out in the main for pX and some jewelry projects as well just for the heck of it. Think I'm going to start wrapping it up though as I'm getting tired. We turned in our app by the way at the apartment and we'll find out what's up sometime this week. *fingers crossed* If all goes well, the planned move-in date is December 10th. I'm so nervous right now because so much is up-in-the-air between packing, part-time job for me, our vehicle situation (as in, we badly need another one to replace the poor 'stang which is barely hanging on these days); what we need to sell; what we need to buy....etc. etc. etc. Oy it's worrisome and stressful.

Anyway, I'm out for now.
