My dream come true!

She is mine, ALL mine! Muaahahahahahah!

So today has been a strange day, firstly I get my intro to my paper back in psych to discover that the 18/20 meant nothing that apparently it wasn't a true experiment and that I needed to re-do it; for tomorrow. Yay me! (it is currently 10:12 p.m. and I have yet to start writing a new intro...sigh). Then I come home to begin to work on a lab for psych for tomorrow, and realize I don't understand it at all. Bah! THEN, Evanna picks me up to go to this guy's house to check out the bass, to realize that google map doesn't believe that his house exists. Plus traffic was bad, so we were 30 minutes late (ah well, he made money today, so it's a good day!). But before we get to his house we have to stop at my parents house to get an extra $30 my mom didn't put in the envelope to find out my dad did not take money out and leave it for me, before he went out for errands. So spastic me, freaks out, runs around their house like a crazy person, only for my dear sister to 'lend' me $20.00 to cover most of the 'missing' $30.00. Bah. Then we pull up to the guy's house for both me and Evanna to turn to each other and say "holy crap, he looks exactly like Jonathan Penney!". It was weird.

Excited for the happy ending? I instantly fell in love - with the bass, not the Jonathan Penney look a like! I think we were there all of five minutes! I played her, looked at the neck and for any cracks, fiddled with the knobs a bit to see if the hardware was all good, and low and behold it was!! I keep laughing because randomly I call the bass a 'she' or a 'her'. It's hilarious! Even to the guy I laughed and said well apparently I think it's a girl! I really don't think I've ever done that before with an object that I owned? I'm taking it as a 'I must love her lots and lots'. Ahem... yes, I've turned into a crazy person...not that that should surprise any of you!

All in all, today has been a lovely day. The bass definitely made all the craziness wash away. I'm so excited, I keep turning and looking at her, wishing I had a tuner so I could play her. I know, why don't I own a turner? Lame! Thank you once again to everyone who chipped in. It's really a dream come true of mine. You have no idea how many lists of "Future things to buy/save up for" include "my own bass". :)

Love you guys,

xoxo
