So this morning I was woken out of a dead sleep (multiple times) by [Annie]. There was a purpose! I, with my ethernet connection, was responsible for purchasing tickets for the both of us to an event that shall remain nameless (but could possibly be recognized by its initials, CFTC). She had to call me three times to make sure I actually got up in time for the ticketmaster internet sale because I am not exactly bright eyed and bushy tailed first thing in the morning.

It was tense! It was brutal! BUT TICKETS WERE PROCURED!

Except. We kind of didn't get tickets for the pre-party. But, you know, I dealt. I talked with [Kaelie] on the IM and [Annie] on the phone and I got through it. I was okay with it.

Really, I was. Really!

Ok, not really. Tonight, after putting the kid I was babysitting to bed, I found myself idly checking ticketmaster for the heck of it. And! And! AND! What do I find but TICKETS FOR THE PRE-PARTY!!!! I almost had a heart attack. I went to purchase them and suddenly realized I HAD NO CREDIT CARD INFO ON ME!!!

The stress of the ensuing twenty minutes can best be expressed by the series of psychotic e-mails I sent to [Kaelie], copy/pasted below. Capitalization/spelling/grammatical errors retained for accuracy. And also because I'm lazy.

E-mail #1, When The Joy Was Fresh

Subject: ALERT! ALERT!
Time: 08:45:09PM
From: [Jess]
To: [Kaelie]

DUDE! There are tickets available for the concert RIGHT NOW!!! A DF;LAKJFALKJG!!! And I don't have a CREDIT CARD ON ME!!! I'm BABYSITTING! Annie GAVE ME THE INFORMATION AND I LEFT IT AT HOME!!!

OMG might call Anna and ask if I can charge it to hers. OMG. Am going to die, almost for sure.

E-mail #2, When The Panic Set In

Subject: oh god
Time: 08:56:19PM
From: [Jess]
To: [Kaelie]

Everyone I know is off somewhere! Cannot get anyone's credit card info to mooch off of! Am considering rifling through aunt and uncle's trash for a credit card bill and steal theirs!! a;ldkjal;dkjfalkgj!!!

I keep clicking "purchase" without filling in key fields and hoping that it will keep my hold on these tickets alive until Annie calls me. A girl can dream.

E-mail Number Three, Where I Lose All Hope

Subject: please
Time: 09:02:28PM
From: [Jess]
To: [Kaelie]

kill me. kill me now. I don't CARE if I would have purchased mountains of Touched By Love CDs, mountains of credit card debt would be WORTH IT right now if it meant getting these tickets!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!

Why don't I have a credit card? Why? I know I'm bad with money! But I'm bad with money already, in its paper form! I couldn't be any worse with plastic, I just know it!!

If I lose these tickets and never get a chance to buy them again, I'll never forgive myself. Never.

And so there I was, distraught, staring disbelievingly at the tickets before me, tickets I COULD NOT PURCHASE, about to start banging my head into the nearest hard surface when my prayers were answered! Salvation! In the form of [Shana], who IMed me! And heard of my predicament! AND SOLVED IT BY BUYING THE TICKETS FOR ME, [Kaelie], and [Annie].

I just. There are no words. She RESCUED us! Our gratitude is unending and undying! There is no way to fully express it!

In other words: SHANA ROCKS!!!!!
