OH GOD I THINK I GOT IT

LOOK NOW
I HAVE ALL PIECES LOOK NOW PLX!!!!

i am so jittery right now, i can’t make sense, i just hope I won, oh god oh god…

PLEASE LET ME WIN.

I, I can’t make sense of anything right now!

Calm enough now, I think, to put it in my post.
WordPress, Hold On.

Full stitch of the PayPerPost Big News!

$1k is worth forgetting the alt attributes on the images this time. …Well, almost. I came back, stitched the image together, and added an alt attribute, because I’m nerdy like that. I am so unbelievably shaky right now, because I think I got it in under the wire!

make money blogging. serious money.


Coming back to this post now that I’m much calmer, and accepting of the truth, I can only say that I am absolutely, utterly excited about the whole thing.
I do wonder, though. Will it be mailed as a paper check, or deposited directly to my PayPal Account? Or will I open my door one morning in my sweatpants to discover the PPP crew sitting on my porch with a small black suitcase, saying, “Hi, Justin. You’ve earned your reward. Thank you for blogging with PayPerPost.”

I don’t know, really. I just know that my level of excitement is phenomenal.

I’ll take a moment later on, when I’ve calmed down a bit more, and make a single image of that post, so that each person who comes to see it won’t have to deal with all those gaps that I can’t make WordPress stop inserting (because of my theme settings, I wager).
So, I calmed down, stitched the image together, and pulled it from my home box to my hosted plan here since it was faster for me to tell the shell to wget from my home box, rather than find an SFTP client, install it, feed it info, and upload that way.

I’m actually quite honestly in a high level of shock.
When I got the email, I was stunned.
When I read the other email that came with it, from the PayPerPost forums, and saw that it pointed to a very special blog entry, I was even more shocked.
I normally don’t win contests or anything. I’m usually the guy who not only loses, but loses hard.

PayPerPost…
Ted, Veronique, and the rest of you guys, all I can really say is THANK YOU! for that opportunity.

The only downside to all this excitement is, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to take another opp. ;)
