Today at work , I actually caught a break. My boss was "sick" so he wasn't there today. Our cobra got out of the vet's office, and the interns I had to train weren't complete idiots like the last batch. They asked actually good questions. I also was slightly biased because 3 of them were going into the reptilian part. Nicholas and I split up the group of 12. Since he studies sharks, he got the marine biology and mammal people and I got the snakes, birds, and other reptiles. The birds and reptiles weren't very distantly related, so I knew a good bit about them. All of the interns except for maybe two seemed to have a really good time.
It took all day, but we finally got everything cleaned up after they left. We were supposed to do it before they arrived, but since the Boss wasn't there, it didn't really make a difference.
When it was time to go home, I was super excited. I drove like a mad woman back home, still following the law, but going just a little bit over the speed limit. By a little, I mean 10 mph. Anyway, I got back home around 7:30. I logged on to my PC and looked at my channel page on youtube. I had gained 75 new subscribers since I uploaded the contest entry. I was so happy my brain was literally scrambled.
I watched youtube for a while before the contest. Mainly, I watch the Smoshgames/smosh people, but I also like Pewdiepie, Tobuscus, Tomska, Omfgit'sjackanddean, and charlieissocoollike. They're all awesome, but, of course, Joven's my favorite. He's just so...... I don't know. I just like him. Probably because of my nerddom and stuff. I realized this as I sat on the couch in my triforce pajama pants and a t-shirt with Navi and on it with Link saying "SHUT THE @!&*( UP!!" Anyway, it was around 10:30 when I got a Skype call. Nicholas Mancuso. I sighed and answered.
"Hey."
"Hey? The contest announcement's in half an hour!" He had a huge smile on his face.
"I know." He frowned at me.
"Such enthusiasm! Come on, Caity. Be happy."
"I don't think I'm going to win. There were so many other entries better than mine...." I shook my head. He leaned in really close to the camera.
"You are going to win. You were on the front page this morning." I was shocked.
"Really? You think so?"
"Yes." We dropped the subject and started talking about other things. He was so easy to talk to. We chatted until around 10:50, when he said that he had to go.
"Yeah, sorry. Talk to you later?"
"Of course!"
"Bye."
"Bye." He logged off.
I was so excited I couldn't handle it. I had Joven's youtube channel up, and kept hitting refresh. I sound ridiculous, but it's true. At 11:08, a new video was posted. Oh my God I was so nervous. Seumas was asleep next to me on my couch, and I woke him up and pulled him over so he was half in my lap. I pressed play.
