1) I am now the proud owner of a GPS for my car...which makes me squeee because getting lost is not fun and it's not really something I used to be prone to--I used to kick butt at figuring out how to get places--and like a guy, I refuse to stop for directions--but something happened to me when I turned 26 and a half...I'm not kidding, I lost my sense of direction. I hit that half way mark in the year and my direction was gone!
2) I'm the proud owner of a GPS because it's almost my birthday...Tuesday actually :-) The same as Dr. Seuss which makes me happy in all kinds of ways.
3) In honor of my birthday I'll be announcing the winner of my totally awesome Linger contest. You all did amazing with the entries and I promise you that Edward Cullen did not win. Sorry!
4) I hit 400 followers!!! OMG! OMG! OMG! So stay tuned for another amazing contest...trust me, I have more up my sleeve.
5) I'm almost ready to enter Query Wars!!! Almost...but not quite...BUT it is about time I made my deal with the Universe for what crazy insane thing I'm going to do when I'm represented.
EEEEK!
In case you don't know....I made this insane deal with the Universe a little while back about what I'll do when I get a book deal....or a two-book deal....or a three-book deal. Because I'm insane. Check out the post HERE!
But it basically involves remaking Shakira's Whenever, Wherever video (don't worry I'm a belly dancer) and...maybe...Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time and
Anyway....
You might be wondering why someone would actually do something like that...and the answer is because for some reason I decided to let my blog readers pick my deal (see I told you it was fun here).
You might also think I learned my lesson by now HELLO--Jessica Simpson--but I haven't.
So....I'm leaving it up to you guys...comment and discuss what you think my next deal needs to involve for when I'm shiny and agented.
Now...I need to run and hide.
Yay for the GPS! I have it on my iPhone and would be lost without it (I know, bad joke:).
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Ooooh.....maybe something involving wellies? *grins and runs to hide behind Shannon*
ReplyDelete(Tchyah, like that's gonna protect me....*eyeroll*)
I am totally directionally dyslexic. For some reason, as a child, I never could learn left from right. I can't give directions, and get all turned around even inside buildings that I've been in and out of for five years. Thankfully, my husband has a great sense of direction-- but as a result of this incapability to tell left from right, I do not drive if I can help it--and when I do, I HAVE to have a wing man. So-- GPS is probably something I should have. Except if it tells me to turn right, I won't know which way :(
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY! Join us in the Query Wars! I'm about to start round two on Monday!
Congrats on the GPS and have a very happy birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Frankie, love your posts! I had a beloved GPS, but someone broke into my car and stole it (sniff) LOve yours every day.
ReplyDeletePS Got my arcs-thank you!
Two words:
ReplyDeleteLady. Gaga.
Two more words:
Bad. Romance.
In the form of a music video, please. With costumes.
I will sing happy birthday on Tuesday. Badly. I might add an adverb too, just for the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteBut the agent-acquisition deal? Huh. I must think on this. Maybe I'll give you an idea s a birthday present... :)
Wellies...pink floral hat...and a re inaction of #windinmyhhhaaaiiirrr!!!
ReplyDeleteAh Frankie, are you SURE you want to let me have input in this?
ReplyDeleteI KINDA think red wellies and white bunnyshorts and harmonicas need to be a part of it. BUT--if that's too much, I'll settle for:
A) A vlog where you go around Barnes and Noble introducing yourself as an agented writer and asking people if they'll buy your book (and of COURSE you must do this in wellies)
B) A scene of Stolen interpreted in bellydance and done to one of the songs on the Stolen playlist
C) A scene from Mean Girls where you play all the roles (a la Clueless)
And if I think of anything else I'll be back...
*rubs hands together and plots and schemes*
*Muwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha*
Lisa Marie, Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteMireyah, Wellies!!! You better run and hide behind Shannon and seriously, she won't protect you.
Amalia, haha. I actually LOVE driving and love driving new places and I'm pretty good at it, but when I get off track, I go OFF track and so this will be good for me in emergency situations. And wow round 2--go you! I'll be there soon enough.
Sarahjayne, thank you thank you.
Elie, awww thank you and yay, glad they made it to you safely!
Anne Riley, O.M.G. I can't believe you suggested that.
Simon, hahah how are you going to sing it? Is there a vlog coming? And can't wait to hear your suggestion.
Marybeth, oy wellies...again!
Shannon, hehehe, yeah I'm sure....interesting ideas....very interesting...and EVIL!
oh my... Frankie... um have you not yet learned how dangerous it is to open this up to us *cough*especially Shannon*and*Simon*cough*???????
ReplyDeleteLove that you got a GPS - I actually am not bad at directions, the husband...uh not so good. So we bought Gloria the Garmin. Yes, I name everything ;o) She is great. (he also has the one on his iPhone)
OKay as for the deals...I really like the Mean Girls suggestion from Shannon...that would be awesome..
I'm with Anne - Lady Ga Ga would be awesome! Yay Frankie - GPS is a wonderful thing. I get lost in my own town all the time ;o) Happy early birthday - although, I'm sure I'll be back before that ;o)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 400 followers!! Yay ;o)
Ooh, it's nearly your birthday! Happy birthday for Tuesday!!!
ReplyDeleteYour universe deal...hmmm. It should involve a vlog because those are always great. What happens IN the vlog? Well, Shannon and Anne Riley have some pretty good suggestions. I'm just sayin'.
Congrats on the GPS! I have NO sense of direction. At all. I was lost for an hour on Saturday, driving around town, and you do not want to know how small my town is.
one hundred million percent what Anne Riley said :-) Lady Gaga, Bad Romance!
ReplyDeleteHappy almost birthday!!
Well, whatdoyaknow? We have the same birthday! Seuss, you, Bon Jovi, and me.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just think being a Pisces is the best?
Happy early bithday... to you and to me!! :)
I totally agree with Anne Riley. How funny would that be. Hey you made everyone think up something good:)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what happens with that.
Happy Pre Birthday! I most likely will be back tomorrow to wish you good times on the actual day.
Hey Frankie! I left you a prize on my blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many awesome things going on over here. First, happy birthday tomorrow! Second, yay for GPS! Third, you're almost in the query trenches! That's a big step. Good luck with it.
