LOL I spun in about a thousand circles in front of my mum. She thought I was crazy. Whenever I think about it, I want to scream. It's not even the offer, I don't think, it was the conversation. Having a phone convo just made it so real.
If you're still querying, guys, go QUERY her!! Seriously.

Speaking of Jack Black. I had to sit through an art class one year in college and the teacher put this picture of Paul Reveer and I couldn't help but think OMG that's Jack Black. I couldn't get it out of my head the whole class. I mentioned it to the teacher and she started squealing and said, "OMG you're right. Thanks now I'll be thinking of that each time I teach that section."

Lol, is this for real??? Holy cow. Reincarnation.

I was actually checking her out. She says she's into edgy paranormal, so i'm thinking she may be a good one for me to query. i've bookmarked the agency and will query her in my next batch. IF I EVER FRIGGIN HEAR FROM THE AGENTS I'VE ALREADY QUERIEDDDDD aaarrrgghhhhhh

Haha fingers crossed! She did say to me on the phone she's more into edgy stuff. And she's the only one in that agency that deals with UF too.

Must be why I didn't query her...mine is the opposite of edgy .

Haha. Yep, it's for real. I can't believe I was the only one of her students that ever noticed it before. I still can't help but go Jack Black when I see it in art books.

I wasn't following her on twitter, but I did after your rep and she sounds sharp! And I didn't realize I wasn't following you, yet, either. Remedied that. Wanna hear all the breaking news.

OMG! Too funny!!! You guys have seen Drunk Histories, right?? These amateur filmmakers got some history majors/grad students smashed and then asked them what they think 'really happened' during certain historical events. And then got famous actors to re-enact the stories, with the actors lip-syncing to the drunken babbling. HILARIOUS. Anyway, Jack Black was Ben Franklin...

Part One
Part Two (My FAVORITE)

There's also some with Michael Cera and Will Ferrell.... seriously, some of the funniest videos I've ever seen.

i know, it's so hard, but i don't even know if my query is working or not. I mean, i did get a partial request off the first response that said my query letter was "intriquing" so...

but i don't want to waste any agents if my query isn't working. sigh. or as june says, le sigh. or maybe i'll do the spanish version and say...la sigh.

Hound, did you get my VM? I am awaiting your thoughts hehe

Eeek, I is hungry. I'm gonna head to the cafeteria to grab some grub! Be back soon!

MY INBOX HATES ME.

Chanelley said:

OMG guys, that was FRICKING AWESOME. At first I was so nervous but she LOVED it, she really loved it. Totally on cloud nine right now. She was so nice to talk to, and wasn't intimidating or anything at all. EEEEK. So yeah, it's an offer.

I really want to write, but it might be mostly rewrites from the chapter I was slogging through yesterday. And only IF this headache responds to my rather insistent eviction notice.
