Please don't read this as me bitching.
If anything, I would greatly appreciate it if you could find humor in my comedy of errors.
I don't even know where to begin, so I'll try to keep it brief.
I mistakenly believed that I could get that 3rd Sticker done on time, as such, I let the clock run until it occurred to me that I had no idea how long the process would actually take. I then discovered I had no time remaining. In a blind panic, I finalized the 1st & 2nd with a hearty, bold, courageous, "GOOD ENOUGH AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" and was ready to make my order.
Stickeryou was my first option, however, my paranoia got the better of me and I decided to look at some reviews. I then promptly decided not to use that company and said, "Yo, this company can get me a pretty sweet deal~! Surely this 'Sticker Mule' will not give me a Moral Dilemma~!" I then found myself in a Moral Dilemma. Do I: Place the order, make excuses, and attempt to make up for it later? Do I: Withdraw from the Raffleganza, like some sort of bitch adjacent creature? Or Do I: Find another company and accept whatever price I must pay? In my mind, the choice was obvious.
So thus, I turned what would have been a $500+~$600+ purchase and turned it into an $800+ purchase... Because none of StickerApp's discount codes fuckin' worked. >:[
(Note: I'm not 100% certain how true the things said are. Either way, I made my choice. Another thing to add to my growing list of misfortunes~...)
After all that, everything was good to go! And then the shipping date changed at the last second. As it stands, there is, at most, a 1/3 Chance of those stickers making it to me before I leave. However, in what can only be considered some Divine Mercy/Joke, there is a FedEx OnSite place right down the street from the venue! Understanding the risks involved, I decided to go for it and have it redirected there! They just need my phone number~!
I have not had a phone number in 6 years. So now, I need to go buy a phone. That's where we're currently at.
Now, I got to be real with you guys, I'm not caught up on my Newgrounds Lore, and I wish I was more entrenched in the community. But I care a lot about this community. And if I have to DIE for the Raffleganza, so be it! I will DIE for Pico Day! BRING MY CORPSE TO THE VENUE! >:[
Sorry for the wall, but I did promise you all a story~
I'm curious to see who will actually read this...
As such, first person to hop onto the server and say:
"SHOW ME THE STICKIES >:V"
Well get a sneak peek of what I completed and had shipped~!
If you care about that kind of thing that is~...
