I Won!!

Not the car, mind you, but I won nonetheless! Yay me!

I get an awesome shirt from Margalit's Cafepress store. Not exactly work appropriate, I think, but very cool.

I really never win anything. I once thought I was lucky. When I was 7 or so, my mom took J and I to Disneyland. On each person's ticket was a scratch-off or something, and if your character matched the character of the day, you got to go up on this crazy-decorated stage and spin this wheel to win a prize.

Well, lucky me, I got to go up and won Dumbo and The Little Mermaid on VHS. I was so psyched, because listen, I wasn't a lucky kid. But then I later found out that the ticket was really my mom's and she gave it to me instead of going up there herself. Sweet, but damn.

The other time I thought I was lucky for winning something was when we were at Knotts Berry Farm and I got to go on the show "Let's Get Messy." Our contest was musical chairs, but on each chair there was a pie platter of chocolate pudding that you had to sit in. So me in my magenta, paisly-paterned hammer pants with the paisly-print vest attached to a turtleneck went up on stage and got pretty far in the game (but didn't win, I think I was the third to last person off) and after the game I was all chocolatey from the game, and soaking wet from my mom trying to hose the chocolate off my pants, and on top of it all I was freezing cold because the sun had started to set.

And in the end my pants got ruined, so my mom wrote a letter to the show to pay for my pants but instead they sent me a bunch of show paraphanalia, a tee-shirt and poster and a signed picture of that creepy red-headed guy who was the host. Damn.

So I'm stoked to win this shirt, fair and square, no strings attached, without ruining an outfit of mine. I'll post a picture in it when it arrives so you all can see my dominatrix side. Tee-hee-hee.
