Random life updates and nonesense, plus a reminder.
Let me tell you all that this was one eventful week. I promise you, it was as eventful as the 20th century. Long story short, so far this happened:
There was also one huge thing that happened that I'm wanting to tell you all about, because I'm still flailing, hyperventilating, and grinning just by remembering it.
Remember the blog I recommended you a few posts ago? The one called Kat O'Nine Tales? Well, this gorgeous blogger made a giveaway not too long ago (about three weeks ago) which consisted in doing some stuff online to get more chances of winning both a shirt that she designed, and free publicity. I did almost everything, and let it be. The thing is, I never checked the results because I never really win anything I like, and my life made a 180° turn. Plus, I never got the email saying she had uploaded the blog with the winners. But when I go to her blog again to read the latest entries, I see in the last part of the last entry that she said it was a pity the winner for the contest hadn't replied to her, so she was giving the prizes to the runner-up. My eye started twitching. I ran to the previous entry, scrolled down, and surely THERE IT WAS! The name of the winner. MY name. I froze in place for a few seconds, and then flailed some, cursed a lot, felt the need to break something, got teary-eyed, cursed some more... And then I took a deep breath, calmed myself down, looked for Kat's e-mail adress, and sent her an apology and said I hoped I could win something next time and actually see the post where it says I've won if it ever happened again, but that it had been a couple of crazy weeks. I wasn't expecting for her to reply, but she did.
I want to stop here and tell you all how much I worship and adore this woman. I know I've never really talked to her, but her blog's amazing, and what she did for me... Wow.
Okay, so, going back to the story. She replied that she didn't want to turn into one of those bloggers who forget that their readers are people with feelings and lives of their own too, so she had decided that she'd give me the prize anyway. The whole thing. Shirt AND ad. As I read the email, my eyes grew to the size of plates. I started hyperventilating, and squealing... I'm only thankful no-one else was home, or they would've worried, since I was unable to form coherent sentences or even talk at a normal speed. I even called my friend Deb, because it was the same day we were going to record the vlog, and she asked me a few times to slow down, take a deep breath, and stop flailing.
It was one of the best days ever!!!
Okay, on a random note, remember tomorrow's That Time Of The Month again, guys! The second edition of my and Euge's co-blogging shall take place, so we hope you'll all like it. See you all again tomorrow!
- I met my friend Deb for vlogging. It went awesome, and we already recorded the first ep. We're editing it now.
- I met my friend Morena for song-writing. We brainstormed. A LOT.
- I signed up for a course that's gonna save me from giving the oral exams I was gonna have to sit for.
- I had a huge fight with my ex, to which we ended up not even being in speaking terms; he deleted me from facebook, insulted me, and behaved like a douchebag. No, no pity for me, guys, please. I'm better off, and I insulted me just as much. :B
- It was both Greg Proops and Jeff Davis' birthdays!!
- Greg emailed me his thanks for my birthday wishes...
- I almost fainted when I saw the email.
