  • Tonight was the night. The night that I was going to meet my idol, Jake Bugg. I was so excited and anxious at the same time. I put on my red converse and headed downstairs.
  • Quaffing a quick brew to steady my nerves, I reviewed my interview questions for the 30th time though I knew I knew them by heart. Jake Bugg! Oh my god, this was it! I drove to the
  • cliff and threw my study materials over the precipice. I didn't want this job, or any other job. I wanted to sit in a wheelchair, quilt folded neatly over my legs, and observe the

  • ck I heard a deafening sound. Alas, my ring tone was too loud again. She had replied: "I think you're great! AND I think there is an awesomeness in you that has not yet been mined.
  • "Thank you!" I yelled over the suddenly ear deafening tone "what?" She replied "THANK YOU!!!" I yelled, but she still could not hear me. "I have to answer my phone now!" I yelled
