Here's an email I sent to Clarissa:
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod....
AAAAAAAAAH
Okayokay FREAKING OUT!!!!!
Agh call me call me except i'm about to have dinner but any time after 6:30 CALL ME!!! Cuz i'm SPAZZING OUT
Okay, guess what happened? Like two seconds ago?
I got home from violin lesson and was putting my violin away and Benj was like "I need an idea for a comic in art class" and I was like "Day by Day :P" and he was like "Blargh" and stuff.
Then Mom was like "Julia, there's something for you from Uncle Steve!" (sounding a bit puzzled). (Uncle steve isn't actually my uncle, he's mom's uncle and my great uncle, but whatever. We call him that.)
It was this little card with a bowl of fruit on the front.
The card said:
Dear Julia,
Perhaps there is something "permanent" but too clear you've wanted which you'd like to use this for, but howsoever you use or save it, I hope it adds some small measure of happiness to your life.
My hope is to see you again ere too long.
Love,
Uncle Steve.
And guess what was in it?
A check.
For.
Freaking.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
...
AAAAAAAH!!!!
And he didn't even know about the lap top! It's not on facebook or anything... I don't even know how to respond! We're not THAT close or anything... how do I say thank you for something like that.
I had seen the check folded in a square and I was like "Huh, that looks kind of like a check, but nah, it can't be, it's a square!" (Clarissa moment :P) then I assumed it was some weird dollar bill from New Zealand or something that he was sending for my coin collection... I opened it and I was just like OH MY GOD and then I tried not to be like showing it in front of Benjamin so he wouldn't feel bad but he got really excited and ran and told mom.
OMG I CAN BUY THE LAP TOP RIGHT NOW. I COULD GET A NEW ONE IF I WANTED TO. BUT I DON'T. SO HA.
Yeah.
See that email up there?
It's TRUE. I won't say much because I'm tired and it's late, but tomorrow a certain MACBOOK PRO is coming my way...
Woopee! Thank you so much Uncle Steve!
