But I Never Win!
July 3, 2010So all who know me know that I have bizarrely bad luck. Everything I get, I work hard to earn, and even then the universe tries its darndest to ruin it for me. I’ve gotten used to nothing “just working” for me, and, on the other hand, am very used to things going wrong. I’m not saying NOTHING ever goes right or good for me…but when you put your arm on somebody’s bed, that they’ve been sleeping in for weeks, and pull away with a chunk of glass in your arm, you start to question the quality/caliber of your luck.
Anyway, I went shopping recently for…something I’m not willing to admit just yet…and at the place I went, they were having a promotion for Disney. If you buy something over $10, you can draw from a raffle. The available prizes were things like hand towels, notebooks, and other junk I’d probably end up giving away. Well, I made a more-than-$10 purchase, and drew to see what I won.
(I’m gonna take a break from this story to tell a sub-story! While perusing the various types of the item I was looking to buy, I asked a cute store clerk for help in choosing what I wanted. Explaining what uses I wanted the item for, we found out that we shared a MASSIVE amount of interests! Not wanting to waste an opportunity, I gave her my cell info, and am hoping she mails me back. Though, knowing my luck…=P Oh, and as for the common interests…let’s just say they were very Kevin in nature.)
After I took my ticket from the box, the girls at the prize-booth-area-dealy took the ticket to open it and see what I won. They made a show of opening it, and when they did, the one girl quickly jolted and dropped the ticket! As I went down to pick it up, the two booth girls start shouting “congratulations” to me. I look up, dumbfounded as to why. Well…turns out I won the grand prize: two tickets to Disneyland.
What…the…
Ever since I came to Japan for study abroad, I’ve said that the only way I would go to Disneyland is if I’m dating a girl and she demands we go there. It’s not that I dislike Disneyland, I actually enjoy it very much. But going to a smaller, more crowded version of the place I know and love isn’t exactly something I’m jumping at the chance to do. But now, here I am with two FREE tickets to a place I was outspoken against going to. >.<
Well, the tickets expire in a year, so I have time to find a girl who wants to go to Disneyland. If she’s smart, maybe I’ll be taking a certain store clerk ^^

Take me! Oh wait… wrong country :(
