Stress, Vampires, Fangs, and Paypal
Oct. 8th, 2009 09:13 pmIf my brain had a cervix, it would totally be bruised.
Why?
Because today was a total and complete pounding mindfucker.
Seriously.
I've been having a terrible time focusing on poetry so I'm stupidly far behind in the poetry challenge. I'm not giving up, of course. Even if I only write 50 poems, that will still be far more poems than I've written in the last 10 years or so. Never hurts to have a few good poems around. I'm still going to try to catch up, and since I'm skipping the NaNoWriMo this year (I am, after all, a 5-time winner and undefeated champeen!!!) I'll have plenty of time.
Worked a short shift today. More like a long visit than an actual work shift. My coworkers are so damn cool and likable that working is sort of like hanging out with people I enjoy, except that we get interrupted a lot. You know, by having to do our jobs. First hour was listening to calls in a group and discussing them. In the next hour, I did over $1,000 in sales, which is a lot. And then...
I got an Email from the promotions chick at the Vampire Ball. I had given up on hearing from her oh, 4-5 weeks ago. Apparently she had some trouble with her computer or hotmail or something. Long and short of it is that I CAN sign and sell books there. Of course, I already spent $40 on tickets and have to spend another $110 on books and shipping. Couple that with gas monies, new tights, and the $35 I already spent on new makeups and custom fangs...and you're looking at a roughly $200 trip to see Voltaire. And that's before drinks, photo ops, and souvenirs. Yikes! He better be wicked awesome.
I frantically Emailed my publisher, who put the order in with the printer's. I'm donating some books to give as door prizes at the ball, and getting plenty more to sign and sell.
So if you're going to be anywhere near Flint, MI on October 24th, be sure to stop by the Vampire Ball and support the cause. It's a fundraiser!
Then I got an Email saying that my extra userpics are about to expire. Dang.
Obviously, you'll want to click on this to make it big enough to read:
By the way, this jackass on Comedy Central with the puppets is an ugly, racist, ass.
Jeff Dunham, maybe? I never thought I'd actually miss Carlos Mencia. Okay, I don't miss Carlos Mencia, but you know what I mean...
