why i hate apple..!!

this has been going on for a month now... 

ok so just a warning: this is gonna so first world problem-y. sorry in advance. 

so recently i broke my tablet at the airport cuz my backpack fell (surprisingly, i had my 3ds and my computer in there but they're perfectly fine! and my 3ds is nearly a decade old now.) so of course, all that was running through my mind during the trip was that 'we have to go get the screen fixed'. this was around.. july 27th/26th i think. 

when we get to the store, i find out that, for some reason, it costs more to repair the screen than to get a whole new and better ipad... and because my worst nightmare is wasting my parents' money.. i get a new one. then there's the whole apple id stuff.. and now i should tell you that this whole apple id stuff is just a huuuuuge struggle for me. NONE of the information i used for it exist anymore (the struggles that come with moving countries a lot!) + i forgot the password. of course i request a password change... now this was already stressful cuz to do the whole account transfer stuff from the old tablet to the new one (btw i hate the word ipad, sorry >~<) cuz we had to like  bring back old phone numbers and credit cards from the dead. it was horrifying to be completely honest.

ok so cut to the next day. i get an email saying that i have to wait until august 24th to reset my password- nearly a month without drawing! the most ive spent without drawing was, like. 2 days! i knew i was going to die by the end of that. every single day i'd wake up, my first thought would be, "only 24 days to go.." ... "only 20 days to go.." ... "only 16 days to go..." and so on.

now its the 24th of august. its like christmas to me. ive been waiting so long to draw... FINALLY!!! i was sooo happy. i was already thinking about what i'd draw, i'd even been making little doodles on my phone the day before. so i click on the link... the first strike. i didnt realise i'd have to wait until 4 pm to do it. whatever... i'll jst play some games while i wait. 4 pm finally hits : im watching my favourite movie to pass the time. im not even halfway through the movie and i get the notification... i can finally reset my password!

i put in my email, put the captcha, i put in my phone number, get a verification code... but thats weird. i didnt get the verification code! i start spamming the 'send again' button, even the 'call' button a few times... but nothing! i reset my phone a couple times, check if the phone number's right, and yep... it's all right. i ask my mom about it and that's when i remember... it was a temporary phone number. a temporary phone number in thailand. it's been like less than a month since that phone number expired. oh god. i tell them i dont have the phone number with me... they ask me for the credit card. well. that's. uh. that's worrying. i dont have the credit card either. at this point im already texting my dad (its like, 7 am for him and he has a job so i felt real bad). i tell them i dont have the credit card. oh. cool! its all good, i can use another phone number! i'll just use my phone number from portugal and try to do all that stuff when i get back. first i have to get my portuguese sim card and put it in my phone - of course, it asks for the pin... thats fine, i know it by hea-  why isnt it working.

chapter 2. the sim card. 

i try 3 times the same pin cuz i know deep in my heart that its (...). why isnt it working? oh god. its asking for a puk now. i dont know what the fuck a puk is. i ask my dad... oh, phew. he's calling the phone number guys. a minute later he tells me the code. what a relief... i thought i was dead! and plus, he told me that they said (...) WAS the right code... huh. weird. whatever. alright, i type in th   hey why isnt it working. i type in the code and it asks me to make a new pin, it asks me to confirm the code, and it says its unlocking. why isnt it working. after 5 tries and several tears my mom ends her meeting and she starts asking me whats going on and i tell her that the code isnt working. thats when i found out something i shouldve known a while ago. your sim code's pin doesnt work when youre in a different country! oh god. well... hmmm i'll ask my dad for his phone number, that's fine. i'll be fine. im kinda running out of hope now  but this looks like it'll work. god damnit now it says to try again later. i fall to my bed and accept defeat... thats it... i'll never draw again... only pencil and paper can save me now.

in the meantime i try resetting my tablet , maybe i can make a new apple id : i wont make it all dramatic here: i'll just tell you that anything you wanna do on your tablet wont work unless you have your god damn apple id. man fuck apple. i have a phone and a tablet but i still hate them. android better. i only have an ipad cuz of procreate and i only have an iphone cuz my mom got me one for christmas and its like indestructible.
