Yesterday was a monumental day for me!!!
For the first time EVER since I started writing, I have finished a story. It totaled to 41 chapters (the 41st being the epilogue) and 90,000+ words.
Even though the story was based on Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, it was still original in the sense that I created my own character, Annabelle Causley, who came with her own story and her own situations. If you are interested (not many of you would be since I don't think many of you have read the Twilight series) you can look it up at fanfiction.com
The title of the story is Good as Gone by SamJayandHolyMae.
It is done!!!
I can finish a story!!!
This is wonderful!!!
Now on to the next story!!!

StayCation...Traveling
Last Sunday, I spend it in Costa Rica. It was absolutely amazing.
I hiked up the Costa Rica waterfalls most of the morning and then spent a relaxing afternoon in the terrace of my open and airy suite.
For this Sunday, I have caught the red-eye flight to Poland...I have a little room, really cute and cozy, at this hostel in the middle of this little snow-filled town in Poland.
Tomorrow morning, I plan on going out for a walk, hopefully get some fresh baked bread at the bakery on the street corner and maybe learn how to ski.
Will be sending a postcard to Becca for StayCation #2!!!

It Has Begun
Three days ago, the prologue to my soon to be best seller book spilled out while I was having my lunch/dinner break at Wendy's.
It is exciting to see that it has begun as I continue to do my research for this book. It will be an amazing book that somebody will someday want to turn it into a movie...after what was done with Twilight, I might not allow it.
Other than that, I am exhausted. I worked nine hours today and completed 7 interviews for Columbia. The stress and pressure is really being put on us now...we each have to complete 4-5 interviews per day and they are asking us to work Saturday AND Sunday...problem is, I haven't gotten a day off since December 1st.
I am so stressed that I cried after finishing an interview...the lady that called in to have me interview her was really mean to me...not just rude like most New Yorkers are but downright mean.
She asked me to speak clearer and slower so she could understand me, which I did. After a minute or two, she made the comment that she graduated from Harvard and that even though I may be using big and intellegent words, she couldn't understand me and that I should transfer her to someone who speaks native English or just do the interview in Spanish.
Do I have that thick of an accent? Because I know I have some form of an accent and have a problem with my diction, I tend to speak slower when I am interviewing people at work. Most people understand me but this lady made me feel so crappy about my accent.
The only reason I stuck out the interview to the end is because I wanted the interview so I could meet my daily quota. Today, I surpassed it by two. And I pray that I surpass it every day by one or two interviews.
Why? Because if we don't meet our goal of 300 interviews by December 31st, the client will roll over our account to the other vendor, which seem to be way ahead of us (I also wonder when they went live...we didn't go live until, what, November 14th?) and that makes me nervous and slightly worried that I may lose my job.
Which is a problem because I am paying school loans and just signed a 6month renewal on my lease. Maybe I should just do a three month renewal? I am going to talk to Monica about that since I haven't given back the signed lease yet...see if we could change the lease to March instead of May.
Well, enough of that. I am watching the Jay Lenno show (which I actually find humorous) and waiting for the Drano stuff to make it through the drain.
Oh yeah, I bought myself a brown winter coat...and A&M printed fleece to make a double sided blanket since today was such a crappy day for me...at least I didn't buy chocolate for me.

Titanic...the silent Torpedoe
I have gotten my car fixed...new catalytic converter and new muffler, which means that the noise (which sounded like marbles in a tin can) is gone and I can now sneak up on people...and, well, I'm back to driving five miles over the speed limit.
Oh, the title of the blog? Well, do to the rattling and groaning that my car was doing, I changed his name to Titanic, which left me praying that he wouldn't sink on me when I most need him.
The only reason I am not changing his name again is because he likes Titanic...so I taked on Torpedoe to him...a silent, deathly missile.
So what's new with me? I am now sporting size 20 jeans...two sizes smaller than what I was sporting last year.
I am going to be getting my wisdom teeth removed.
I am renewing my lease with Brazos Place.
I have bee working at EMSI for a month now.
I have posted Chapter Thirty-Seven of my story, which is close to being done.
Well, that's all. Y'all have a great night now!!!
