BIGGER FREAK
O.K., so I get a reply from the editor of worship magazine, the owner of the company. Bruce Adolph is his name, and he proceeds to assure me that he didn't specify that you could only enter once, so it was ok by him. Secondly, he tells me I may want to unsubscribe from a couple of the newsletters, so I don;t get the same thing over and over. He rocks, I just feel totally useless. Thank you God for convicting me. The humiliation of confessing to someone who could have cared less was a nice touch, as well.

I'M OFFICIALLY A FREAK
O.K., confession time. It's good for the soul. I signed up online for a subscription to WOrship magazine, and at the same time, entered a contest to win a Taylor guitar by subscribing to their e-newsletter. THe bad part was, I decided it wise to sign up for all the e-mail accounts I have access to (7) in order to improve my odds. THEN CAME THE GUILT. I have obsessed over this thing for two days, and then, out of the blue, the editor of the mag calls me last night at home to confirm my subscription. Perfect chance, and I, of course, CHICKEN THE CRAP OUT!!!!! Sooooo, I spoend 30 minutes looking up his personal e-mail address today, and send off this e-mail asking him to take me out of the drawing if he can, and how sorry I am. I feel better, I think, but I feel foolish for doing it in the first place, and secondly, for confessing to a total stranger whose time I wasted in the first place. I AM A GIANT FREAK OF NATURE! Hey, if you read this BRUCE, I really am sorry.
