:D
Today has started out great!
Actually it started with yesterday being totally crazy, but still kind of great.
Imagine this: Your mom comes slinking into your bedroom at 9:30 am to wake you up with this horrible expression of guilt and sadness on her face. Your immediate thought, based on this expression, is that someone has died, like your boyfriend, or perhaps your dog. But oh no, what she proceeds to inform you is that when she grabbed your jeans from your bedroom floor a little earlier that morning, she forgot to check their pockets before putting them in the washing machine, and that your ipod nano is an ipod no more because ipods are not supposed to go swimming in washing machines.
Part of me was relieved, because, as I described her expression before, I seriously thought someone had DIED. I mean, I guess it was still the case, as I love my little ipod and it was a gift (from my parents, but nonetheless) and we were very, very close. My mom did promise me that she would take me out that day to get a replacement nano. I was still disappointed because I absolutely hated the look of the newer nanos because they somewhat resembled the minis with their rounded edges and solid bright pastel colored cases. Yuck. I wanted my black and metal nano back, but it was looking like I was going to have to settle for pink or even green :(
Then, I found out about the new ipod nanos that had just been released two days earlier, the ones with video capabilities, and the bigger hard drives. Things were beginning to look up.
Insert the next portion of my day here, which involves car salesmen and me wanting to vomit everywhere, and we will soon come to the part of the day when we finally make it to Best Buy and I get a shiny new 8gb black ipod nano with a flash RAM video player. It's rather square looking, but I am in love.
Right so basically that other portion of my day started with my dad seeing a car deal inthe newspaper about leasing a Mazda3i and OMG ZOMG suddenly we are all in the car driving down route 3 to the mazda dealership and eating quiznos and I WANT TO FUCKING PASS OUT AND STOP LIVING because I DO NOT have a job, and do not want to blow all my savings on a car when I DO NOT HAVE A JOB but trust my parents to know about this crap better than I because I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR/ JUST GOT MY PERMIT TO DRIVE TWO DAYS AGO.
We spent two hours in the mazda dealership. The 3i was extremely cute. The price was ok. We decide to look at some other cars and while we are driving back up route 3 my parents are suddenly: Haha j/k j/k!! What were we thinking? Getting a car for Jennifer before she even has a license and has to drive with us! HAHAHAHA sorry to scare the crap out of you daughter! HAVE WE GIVEN YOU A HEART ATTACK YET? WHAT ABOUT AN ANEURISM? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!11
I wanted to die.
So that all brings me to today, which is really the part of the week that made me super happy. I felt I needed to explain yesterday as well though because it was, to some extent, amusing, and I haven't updated in forever.
Earlier last week I wrote a long e-mail to a publisher going on and on about how happy I was that they were rereleasing a book series I adored when I was in middle school. I always tried to find these books every time I went to used book stores so I could reread them but really never had any luck finding them. Now I can own brand new awesome copies and LO AND BEHOLD there is a new book coming out in the series, the first new book in like 15 years :D After all of that I slipped in some stuff about me and how I want to get into book publishing and added my website/resume/cover letter to the e-mail. I just got a response back today from the publisher (and I really wasn't expecting a response at all) and it turns out the senior editor is who wrote me back and she is forwarding my information to her own art director and the art director for the publisher that they are a smaller faction of. And she is mailing me an advanced reading copy of the new novel coming out :D This made me incredibly happy. I think the happiness may last all weekend and into Monday. It's the small little things every once in a while that give me hope that I can get a job in this field.
Anyways, I need a shower and stuff, I hope everyone is doing great :)
