    50 Things About Me

    I read Ericas blog and she did this thing where she just randomly writes 100 things about herself..
    It sounds like fun and I actually liked reading it.
    Except I am not that hardcore so I'm pretending that its 50....

    1. I don't even know if I can make it to 50.
    2. I was madly giggling at Erica's comment about the "cardboard sign" in my last post, even know I know it probably wasnt THAT funny, but I get these urges to laugh sometimes.
    3. I get them sometimes when I'm sleeping with my sister, or my mom. I cant stop laughing, and they hit me because they have work/school tomorrow and its really annoying.
    4. Sometimes I know I should stop laughing but I cant.
    5. Like the time a chinese waiter said "Excuse me, excuse me" with a really bad accent and I choked on my food laughing because it sounded like "Squeeze me, squeeze me", and everyone kept looking at me and I couldn't really breathe but I just couldnt stop laughing.
    6. I have never made food come out of my nose, although I heard its possible.
    7. 50 is actually a very big number.
    8. Not when it is in money form though, because it seems to be gone in no time from my wallet.
    9. I think I am really good at spending money.
    10. Not as in I know how to spend it well, but as in I can spend it very fast.
    11. But a lot of people can do it faster. I am just pretending I have a skill.
    12. Sometimes I don't think I have any skills.
    13. Not that that would have been a good skill anyway.
    14. I have my perfect job in mind. I know exactly what I want. It's a job where I do almost nothing but get paid lots.
    15. I had a naughty dream about Orlando Bloom.
    16. My sweet 16 was the lamest thing ever.
    17. 50 seems to grow into a bigger and bigger number.
    18. But this is kind of fun.
    19. But 50 is a really big number.
    20. It is scary to see myself in the mirror at night because I have long hair.
    21. I sleep with a nightlight.
    22. My vision is -4.75 on my right eye, and -4.50 on my left eye.
    23. I think 50 is really far away.
    24. I have to look back later to make sure I'm counting right.
    25. Because there was this once I thought 27 came right after 23.
    26. I'm beginning to forget my multiplication times tables, so I recently recite them when I'm bored.
    27. I have a weakspot for cute boys who dance really well.
    28. I have a weakspot for cute boys who dance well.
    29. I have a weakspot for cute boys.
    30. I have a weakspot for boys.
    31. I have this shirt that says "Boys R Toys" in the "Toys R Us" font.
    32. I really like it.
    33. I don't wear it too often because it makes me look like I have no boobs.
    34. Do I have boobs?
    35. There was this one time in Sex Ed the teacher asked us why girls have breasts (so they can feed babies, for those of you who dont know), and a boy said "its for boys to look at".
    36. I thought he was right.
    37. I just realized that I have used the word "I" to start a lot of sentences in the last ten lines.
    38. That kind of bugs me because English 1100 states that no same controlled subject should be referred to unchangingly more than 3 times in two sentences.
    39. It doesn't really bug me.
    40. Actually, it does.
    41. But not like, a lot.
    42. Just kind of.
    43. Actually I think I learned that with an English tutor, not in English 1100.
    44. I'm close to 50 now.
    45. 45 is 5 away from 50, in case you were wondering.
    46. And 46 is 4 away from 50.
    47. I wish I had more prominent eyebrows.
    48. I wish I had more and longer eyelashes.
    49. I wish my features were a little less asian. AKA: Flat.
    50. 50 is 0 away from 50.

    Officially rejected

    Okay, so I got tired of waiting, and did email 24Hrs again.
    This time, Dean Broughton emailed me back within 8 hours, and said
    "Annie
    Thanks for your submission, but at this time I just don't have the space to accept any freelance articles."

    My mom says, "That just means he's busy and doesnt have the TIME to read all the crap people email him. Chances are, he didn't even read your articles."
    Gee, thanks, mom.
    But then, she's probabaly right.

    So, I emailed some other newspapers (don't want to name them, because just mentioning them breaks my heart right now), and just like 24Hrs, they didn't email me back.
    Oh, yey!
    Rejected by all the major newspapers in Lower Mainland.
    I seriously see my life blackening before my eyes.
    I might email Dean Broughton again to beg him to have mercy on my future.
    Or I might stalk him and fall to my knees and literally beg him.
    .... Or I might just beg... as my future career instead.
    Annie the Bum.

    Rejected!

    Editor In Chief of 24Hrs was out of office until September 15th, at which point in time he was supposed to return my email. Or so the auto response said.
    "Will return your emails at that time."

    Lies.
    LIES.

    It is September 19th, and I am still fully un-emailed by Dean Broughton, which I have finally accepted as rejection.
    ......
    *Feels sorry for self*

    ......
    *Contemplates suicide*
    .....


    On the other hand, now I have to email the other newspapers, so I may get rejected by them as well.
    Perhaps one of them will actually email me back to say it to my face!
    Yey.

    Oh, life is full of such joys.
