Freakin' Adjectively Awesome

You wanna know something funny? Something so entirely weird and amazing and happy and scary yet completely and amazingly adjectively hilarious?

Life seems to like me right now.

I mean it. And, though I am superstitious, I don't feel the need to knock on wood as I type that.

But now that I think about it... *knocks on wooden desk*

Just in case.

Anyway, life likes me. Today was my orientation at my new job, and while I had no idea how to fill out tax papers or how to ask the right questions, I feel... Scared. Oh yeah. Scared to death. My first real day is tomorrow, and early, which has never been my best time of day.

But I am hopeful, and I am fearless, in the sense that I have a lot of fears but I plow on anyway. In the hopes of a paycheck (with which I will buy many many books... and probably a filing cabinet).

And, in a weird twist of fate, I've never had words come so easily to me. It seems the less time I have, the most I make of the time I do have, and therefore write a little more... not effortlessly, but perhaps less-effortly. If such a word exists.

I wrote a fanfiction (the first in a long, long time), and posted it two days ago. Since then, I've gotten fourteen reviews, all positive, and most constructive. I feel kind of giddy, and because I left the ending open a little bit and...
Well, I ended up continuing it. :)

And (for the first time ever I have a THIRD amazingly awesome thing to talk about), I won something! For reals! I was on Twitter last night and-- well, lemme just show you:




Oh yes! I won a copy of The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong. Isn't that just...Well isn't it just freakin' awesome?!

Yeah, I thought so too. XD

But anyway, I have to get up crazy early tomorrow, and there's only so much time in the day for me to write.

I suppose I work well under pressure. Ha. Who woulda thunk?

Ending with my list of Ten Things tonight (which is very easy to come up with on a day like today).

Ten Things That Made My Day a Good One:

1. Laptops
2. Bobby pins
3. Pens that actually like to work
4. Donuts
5. My dog wagging her tail when I walked through the door :)
6. Reviewers
7. Pressure
8. Email
9. Hand sanitizer
10. Having something to say

Hmm. Hopefully my future lists will be more interesting. :)
