Holy Shit, what the frak just happened weekend (part 2)

Back when we left our little fan girl Becky, she had just spotted a tweet by Paul and Storm in regards to staffing their merchandise booth at PAX East. 

So here I was so excited to see this possible opportunity arise that I had started to email Paul and Storm before I could even get a breathe out. I jumped so fast at getting the email out, afraid that the opportunity would be snagged up before I could even email them, that I believe there may have been many grammatical errors along the way. I should go back and check that. In all honesty, I was doing everything to show how professional I could be, all the while not coming off as a total fan girl. Though, now when I look back on it, I may have come off as being too cold. Yes in case you are wondering, I over think things way too much.

So a week had gone by and I had heard nothing and with my over active imagination, I figured "ok it appears that they have their team." Which I had accepted with no other thoughts then "oh well, maybe next time." I must have done well enough because a day later, I received an email about potential merch holder positions. I have a habit of adjectivally checking my email (thanks Google, I can't seem to get away from you!). I had done another dance in my chair, while at work mind you. I have the kind of cubicle where everyone can see everything that I am doing. Kind of like being on display in a zoo.

I promptly emailed Paul back as quickly as I could while doing my best to to have an answer for everything that he had brought up in the email. I am betting there were mistakes in this email as well, considering how quickly I was replying back to him. Excitement equals not being able to concentrate on what it is that I am trying to say or type. So it happens quite often that I make a bumbling fool out of my self because I am just so excited about something. Even I can't understand myself sometimes. Sigh...

Back at work checking my email again and what do I see? An acceptance email from Paul and Storm! w00t! I'm in! I raised both hands in the air while doing a bigger dance in my chair, saying "Yes I got in!", with a super huge dorky smile on my face. This dream and hope of mine, had just become a reality!

Stay tuned for the next entry.

Until next time dear readers, roll those 20's because you never know how lucky you will be.
