before i forget about my semi-brush with greatness, i wanted to let the world know. so thursday night while i was driving down to la jolla to run random errands, before heading to pete's show, i was listening to 91x and they said to call for new found glory (with something coporate and finch) tickets. kimmy and i wanted to go to this concert so badly.. but i didn't have the money.. so i thought it would kick ass if i won tickets, and plus then you get to meet the band. i started calling on my cell phone (wasting all my daytime minutes of course), and whenever you call those things you never really expect anything (especially when you have to be caller 9), so i was just calling for fun. when i was in middle and high school i won a few things, like free cd's and tickets to MTV's Rock and Jock (which i was SO excited because Dean Cain was there), but anyways... so i called.. and finally it started ringing. it was kind of cool because a week or so again Vivian won some stuff off 92/1.. so my car would be the lucky car... well, for winning stuff off the radio.. not for anything else. :P so yeah.. it was ringing.. and then a guy picked up and said.. "hello, 91x.... you're caller number.... 8" and then hung up. much like the woman in the mervryn's commercial i screamed out "noooooooo" and almost crashed my car while driving on the 52. but yeah.. i was SOOOOOO close to winning those tickets i would have cherished... and i was so upset for being caller number 8. *sigh* although it is the story of my life... always the bridesmaid, never the bride. or some shit like that.
