Best. Day. Ever.

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Wheeeee, congratulations!!! :-D Your new job sounds fabulous. You totally deserve days like this!

And Mav sends awesome packages, doesn't she? She's like the greatest fannish Santa EVER. *g*

Thank you! I'm still high from all the excitement. And yes, Mav rocks! :o)

Thanks!!

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

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] evelina69.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
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?

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] evelina69.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure. This is all such amazing news. Oh fuck Christmas, someone needs to take you out and show you a good time.

[identity profile] ralu-1982.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
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!!!

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
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!

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

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] luci-2.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)

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

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

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

Awesome news all 'round. Congratulations!

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

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
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.

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.

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

It totally did! Yay! Thanks :o)

[identity profile] maverick4oz.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] rileyc.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well go you. :) And how great to see what you look like. (And yep, packages from Maverick are always like opening a treasure box.)

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I've heard much about Mav's treasure boxes, so it's so cool to finally get one myself! :)

[identity profile] lisacali.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
How wonderful! Congrats on everything. And btw, I would die for the color of your hair! Lovely pic. :)

[identity profile] pride-of-erin.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
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...

[identity profile] lisacali.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
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*

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

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

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!!!
