genie of the laaaaaaamp!

so i've been using paypal for a really long time. like, i think my account is at least ten years old. i probably opened it back when i first discovered ebay. that was a loooooong time ago. 

anyway, when i saw them post this on twitter:


i remembered that my friend nanette had gotten lucky last time they did this and won some gift certificates to have some quality time with her BFF. so i figured, what the hell, and i posted this:


because, why not? i admit i also tried to be strategic about what to ask for by picking a retailer that i knew accepted paypal as a form of payment at checkout. i don't actually know if that helped my chances or not, but i was pretty excited when not long afterwards i received a notification that paypal had favorited that tweet. and right after that, another notification that they were now following me on twitter. 

then even more good news via direct message:


pretty awesome, right?

later in the day i checked my email and found that paypal had indeed granted my wish in the form of an e-gift card from lululemon. i thought, "sweet! how cool is that?" as i opened the email to check it out. i figured it'd probably be enough for a new top...maybe a nice new pair of pants. 

so how excited was i when i scanned through and saw this:


HOLY CRAP. this is the best genie EVER. 

they created this cute little announcement that they tweeted out:


love, love, love! and now i'm for sure a paypal customer forever and ever. after all, one of the surefire ways to win my heart is most definitely via a shopping spree...and to lululemon, no less! 

that tweet has gotten a lot of favorites and retweets, so my notifications have been blowing up. i did snicker at this one, though:


haha! people are so weird, man.
