It just keeps getting better...

zalliaSarcasm of course. Why is it that when the universe gives me a good thing (the fair win), it then has to knock me over and kick me in the ribs a few times?
Well, I obviously got through Friday and actually the fear and dread leading up to it were worse than the actual process, but it still left me pretty drained. The OM was all freaked when I told her that when I was younger and my mom would clean my room, I'd go through some form of shock and sleepwalk that night from the stress or whatever of having it cleaned. More an environment change I think, than the actual cleanliness. Hell, I don't know, I have issues, okay?
Anyways, yesterday the internet was down at work ALL freaking day, so it made for an exceedingly boring morning (patrons only come in to use the internet apparently and will only ask ref questions afterwards) not even providing a distraction from the upcoming horror. I was all set to email DDE and cancel my order for that BJD because I had gotten to thinking about all the other stuff I could buy, Absolute Sandman vols 2-4, Rhapsody, new Castlevania DS, wigs and crap for my current bjds, etc and go to Alb guilt-free and getting my hair cut and dyed...but, I didn't get to do this cause of the internet and by the time I got home from shopping on Friday night, DDE had written me again to see if I got the first email and to offer up the other Gabriel they have in stock, though not with any discount. But they just had to include a picture.
Gah, she's gorgeous!! I had been telling myself that she would arrive looking a lot crappier than the photos and for $500 I better love a doll like a child and I was pretty sure I wouldn't, but when I look at that pic, I'm just like "Want!! So pretty!" So now I'm back undecided. :( If you guys have any opinions one way or t'other or thoughts on why or why not in either direction, please let me know 'em. *sigh*
Then while catching up on a day's worth of email I see one from George that this upcoming weekend probably won't work out for out trip. It's not his fault or anything, but it's frustrating since Robert and I had already gotten the time off approved and I was getting my lists together and had this all planned for. I thought Robert was going to be my wildcard, but apparently not. Won't know for sure til Monday, either.
The Rock n' Gem show was today and I was so anxious about everything that I couldn't even enjoy. I didn't even play the spin wheel which feels so utterly wrong. Oh and I noticed Thursday that someone fucking stole the Obama sticker off the back of my car. Freedom of speech, my ass. Anyone know where I can get a sticker that says "At least democrats don't steal the bumper stickers off of people's cars"? Assholes.
Oh yeah, AND I got a condescending email back from BAM in response to when they were going to fucking ship my book since it's been almost a month since I placed it, just to get some kind of estimate. You'd think in this economy merchants would be bending over backwards in service to keep customers. Gah.
