Cheers and Jeers List:
Lets start with Jeers, this has been building up for a while now:
HSBC: you really suck...and because i don't have a bank in town i have to deal with you...really, you suck, try to pretend that you really are an international bank and try instigating policies where each branch isn't different from another. thanks.
Red Cross secretary in Philadelphia: lady, how many times do i have to tell you that i don't have any paperwork with me, and my wallet is lost now...it's all in new orleans...oh, my car?? yep it's there too, so there is no need to give me driving directions to your location, it's pointless. you would think that they might be a little more understanding...well in all it's ironic glory, jenn( the only other female roommate i have in the house) has put earrings on hold at tiffany's until she recieve's her red cross debit card...she wanted me to include her thanks to all of those that donated...(i booed her..but i would like to see if tiffany's would actually ACCEPT her red cross debit card...)
My Green wallet: you little bitch...where did you go...please come home i need you, i didn't mean it i swear, it's just my life is SOO frustrating without you....philadelphia is not a very safe place to wander around and i miss you alot. i've looked everywhere, and i hope that no one is exploiting you for their benefit.
CHEERS:
Cingular Wireless: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for covering my roaming fees for the last month...it's added up quite a bit and you took care of it all in one phone call.
My neighbors on Pine and Osage(philadelphia): you guys have donated sooo much stuff to our cause, and even some artwork and books to keep us sane over the next four months...
TX Driver's License people in Austin: you guys got back to me SOOO promptly, and your direct help via email and phone have made things alot easier.
Harris Steinburg: did you REALLY have to steal our dignity(maybe i'm being dramatic, but come on...crappy move man) and introduce us to your normal professional practice class as the tulane students displaced by katrina?? we are already the debby downers when we introduce ourselves at parties...of course our program and year in school is one of the first questions asked after our names....then we get that face, and "ooohhh, i am soo sorry...." "so how many of you are there here??" We now simply introduce ourselves as KVG1 or 2(Katrina victim girl 1 or 2--i'm number 2 since jenn already knows some people here) and KVB1-4(katrina victim boy...you get it..)
WE ARE NOT VICTIMS WE ARE SURVIVORS BIOTCH!!!
A Cheer and A jeer:
Ivy Kids: some of you have been unbeleivably great, others....not so much...but please please please don't feel so bad for us--so many are worse off...and don't refer to our group as the katrina victims... we are different people and our stories are different...no offense taken, but please...worse things have happened in this world and i personally don't want my personality or identity to be associated CONSISTENTLY with a tradgic happening...shit happens, that's life...i'm in the process of getting over it, so should you...
