I'm Just Sayin'

So I opened a credit account with the Home Store on April 8th-promotion etc... well I just got a bill with a double payment due and a late fee-I asked what happened and they said they sent me a bill in March-I explained that the account wasn't even open then and then they changed their story saying the bill closed in March and the bill was due in April. I explained again that the account wasn't open in March. "Yes we can see that you opened this in April, must be a computer mistake, but you still have to make a double payment to avoid further fees." Account closed...seriously!

So when I was about 7 I told my mother that I wanted to be an actress, she looked at me and laughed, "You'll always be broke." I replied that I didn't care. To be fair, I had no idea what that meant at 7, but I knew what I wanted and that was a creative life. For the better part of my life I have worked in the entertainment industry in one way or another. I started my artist career when I went to an audition for a Disney feature film and they offered me a job as an artist-of course I turned them down and called my mother to complain about the nerve of them for I was an actress. Two years later I gave up the unsteady life of being an actress to work in feature animation-then BOOM! That crashed in less than 4 years and here I was struggling again. My brilliant plan to move onto writing-a plan that is working great to get rich slowly-also has had it struggles. This all said, I would rather be an artist (any kind of creative) and be broke and struggling than anything els...
