Best. Day. Ever.

[pride_of_erin]

EEEEeeee!!!! Today has been one of the most happy-making days of my life for three reasons:

1. I finally graduated! As of today, I hold a Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood. I graduated from the number 1 university in the country, and I am the first person in my family to get a degree. Hell, I was the first person in my family to finish high school. So, I'm feeling pretty damn pleased with myself.











2. I found out I got that job!!! It was my very first interview ever and I got it! (Incidentally, Evil Brother is both jealous and pissed, because he's been for 7 interviews recently and got fuck all - yay!) So anyway, as of January 9, I am a head teacher in a pre-school/long day care centre - I will manage my own classroom, and have minions assistants to do my bidding help me. I never thought I'd get a job right off the bat - I was so excited, I madly phoned everyone to tell them. Boo yah!!! I rock. Oh yeah, baby, I rock so hard right now. *shakes booty in excitement*

3. I received a package from maverick4oz. Commence fannish squeeing. SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Oh my God, Mav, you are the best, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am now in possession of SGA Season 2 eps, when Season 2 doesn't air here until next year (yay!!), as well as 'Thought Crimes' and 'Traders' (OMG, I finally get to see the 'love gulps'!) and some other things I haven't had a chance to look at yet because of my busy day. I also got SGA trading cards and Mav-made magnets and key-chains (which I am so impressed and in love with), and a gay smut address book which cracks me up. Hugs and smooches to you Mav - you totally made Christmas come early for me, and it's definitely the best present I'll get. You are wonderful - from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!!! :-D

And all this in just one day! I love my life.

ETA: Fixed the pic screw up, you should be able to see them now.

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! And congrats on the new job as well!!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The new job is such a relief for me - I thought I was going to have to deal with being unemployed for a while, but nope! :D

[evelina69.livejournal.com]

WOW, that was one exciting post to read. Congrads on all the breakthroughs. A degree, a phenominal job and having one up on your losser brother can't hurt.

What are you doing to celebrate?

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders with all that has happened. Celebrations will have to wait though, unfortunately - everybody's busy at the moment and I am officially broke after all the Christmas shopping.

[evelina69.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. This is all such amazing news. Oh fuck Christmas, someone needs to take you out and show you a good time.

Congratulations, it's so cool you found a job right after graduating! Erin RULES!
But I can't see the pictures, man. It says I'm not authorised or something and I guess it has to do with my Internet connection - I've been getting this kinda shit with other things on the web too. Could you mail them to me pls? I really wanna see you.
Again: ERIN RULES!
ERIN RULES!
ERIN RULES!!!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Agh! - thank you for telling me about the pics - it's not your connection. I'm tired and stupid and marked the pics Private instead of Public. But I think I fixed it so you should be able to see it now. And if you want to see more of me (though I don't why anyone would), I posted pics from my birthday on September 20.

Again: ERIN RULES!
ERIN RULES!
ERIN RULES!!!

LMAO!!! Thanks!

[ralu-1982.livejournal.com]

I finally saw them. Your hair looks beautiful.
And...nice tits. That's what my friend (for the record: a guy) standing next to me just said. I second that! :D

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Bwah-ha-ha!!! Oh, shit, that made me crack up laughing. Nice to know some people like them, even though they annoy the shit out of me - huge fuckers that they are. Hee hee! :D

[luci-2.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Erin! On oth accounts. You deserve good things happening to you.

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you, Luci :o)

[blackchaps.livejournal.com]

You do rock! Go Erin! Let the party start! *will there be porn?*

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

What's a party without porn? LMAO! Thanks, hon.

[rasmus-me.livejournal.com]

Congrats Erin! I'm really happy for you! And you have beautiful hair and I love your blouse... :)

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the compliment! *blushes* :o)

[rustler.livejournal.com]

Awesome news all 'round. Congratulations!

(and lookit your gorgeous hair!! Is that your natural color?)

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And, no, my hair is naturally a very dark, mousy kind of blonde - I just had it dyed and highlighted the other day to make it blonder.

[antifaerie1982.livejournal.com]

1. OMG, congratulations! And wow, that gown is fantastic. Our grad gowns are crap. You look great!

2. Congratulation x 2!! Shake it, you deserve a celebratory dance.

3. *jealous* :D

Much love, doll. ♥.

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *hugs*

Congratulations on the degree and on the new job! Sounds like Christmas came early for you this year. :-)

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

It totally did! Yay! Thanks :o)

[maverick4oz.livejournal.com]

First of Congrats...on the degree and on the job. GO YOU!!! And I'm glad the package could make your special day even brighter, because you so deserve it.

Hugs.

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!! I started looking through the various JF and DH stuff last night - these are things that I would never have had a chance to see, living down here, so I really am so grateful you gave me the chance to indulge in the great acting and of course, the pretty, *g*. You deserve so much for all the wonderful things you do for everybody. *hugs!* and thank you again :-D

[rileyc.livejournal.com]

Well go you. :) And how great to see what you look like. (And yep, packages from Maverick are always like opening a treasure box.)

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've heard much about Mav's treasure boxes, so it's so cool to finally get one myself! :)

[lisacali.livejournal.com]

How wonderful! Congrats on everything. And btw, I would die for the color of your hair! Lovely pic. :)

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And the hair colour is store-bought, so you could have it if you wanted, LOL. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the colour...

[lisacali.livejournal.com]

And the hair colour is store-bought, so you could have it if you wanted

Believe me, I've tried! :) But my natural hair is just too dark, and I don't want to get into bleaching. *sigh*

[desert-rifka.livejournal.com]

Mazel Tov. May the New Year bring even more exciting things.
Woo-Hoo!!!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. And your icon's very appropriate, LOL.

[adrianabr.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, I'm very late in reading but I'm so happy for you, what a great Christmas this is going to be!!! New year, new life, a true salary, lol, it seems things are improving a lot for you - and isn't that perfect how Evil Brother looks pissed off right now? ;o)
Congratulations, Erin, you did it!!!

[pride-of-erin.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! It's like a whole new start for me - very exciting!
