Welcome to the A to Z Challenge! I’ve been doing this for a decade, and I have many past A to Zs you can read if you’re interested in a longer story. This is going to be a continuous story, so you want to make sure you start with the Theme Reveal! (But I’m going to keep the posts short, so it’s easier to keep up.) I’m notoriously bad at reading other blogs, even though I love it when I do, so make sure to leave your link in the comments so I can hop over to see what you’re up to, even if you aren’t participating in A to Z! But you should definitely sign up and participate!

A is for Advertise

Amelia: March 23rd

Available: One ticket for The Fellowship of the Ring movie with the score performed live by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Friday, March 27, 7pm show. Ticket will be emailed. $75.

I clicked send and the advertisement went off to…wherever marketplace posts go. I don’t even know. I don’t even care. I just spent over $100 on this ticket to the symphony and I don’t want it to go to waste. I might even give it away, but if you try to give things away to strangers on the internet, they are skeptical. So I tried to price it low, but high enough to feel real. Or something. Maybe that psychology is fake, but it’s all I’ve got at the moment. There are so many other things I could over-think, and over-thinking how best to sell this extra ticket is preferable to thinking about why I am going solo to this show.

And giving it to a friend? Yeah, that’s out of the question. Some would be confused as to why I was going to the symphony in a few days. Some would just sit and give me that look. You know the one. The one full of pity. I know I’m going to cry watching Fellowship. That’s inevitable. I don’t need to do it with someone staring at me. 

Much better to give it to a complete stranger from the internet. With only four days to go, I just hope someone picks it up…
