An assortment of things happened today.

I took my car to the shop where they wanted to charge me $400+ (basically all the money to my name) to fix it, so I brought it home.  It is still broken.

I did an extensive apartment hunt to find that we’re on the verge of screwed at finding an affordable one bedroom that allows pets by the time the lease is up here.  We might be homeless for a week-ish.

I reviewed a paper that was all about how bad health care reform is going to be for America that was full of “facts” and used Anne BatShitCrazy Coulter as a source.  To me, that's like citing Stephen Colbert.  Kind of.

I was officially rejected by AGNI who I submitted a short story to back in May.

But today is still awesome!  Know why?  Because I got an email from Allie Brosh, funniest lady on the internets.  Since she might see this, I thought I’d say that I’m funnier in older posts.  My blog also used to exist a billion years ago on Wordpress at ashleycaggiano.wordpress.com, but after I had a slight mental breakdown I killed it and turned it into a useless site that is pretty much a picture of me with my diploma where I look like a blowup doll, so everything here only goes back two months.

I thought I’d share with you all the picture I originally sent her that she LOVED.

She said, “This is by far the most badass drawing anyone has EVER drawn for me.”  I quoted that out of my email, people, ver-muthalickin-batim.  I know a lot of people have sent her drawings, I’ve seen some, and they’re effing amazing.  But mine is the “most badass.”  Suck that, internets!  I of course am taking this literally and going to make myself a certificate/award/trophy of some sort in the near future.

This is a very good day.
