I drive all the way from Texas to San Diego to visit my parents. A 14 hour drive!
When i get to my Moms house i have to sneak away to use her ancient computer she has had at her house since i used to play Broodwar on it.
Check my email 3 times a day for 2 days, each time taking over a half an hour just to get to the Yahoo main page.

NOTHING.

I give up and decide to enjoy sunny Sandy Eggo.

Then i get some kind of insane throat infection-flu-plague. End up spending the rest of my vacation cuddled up on an air mattress in the living room shivering in cold sweats, with a fever for the rest of my time in beautiful Southern California.

Then I drive ALL the way back, trying not to crash into ever semi truck as i blow my nose every 10 minutes in the fast lane.
Decide i dont want to stay in a crappy hotel and spend the money on redbull instead.

About 800 miles later i stumble in the door at 3am tired, sick and coughing up chunks of what look like my lungs and check the spam folder in my E-Mail.
Its full of "How to get rock hard abs in 2 minutes a day ads" and Nigerian check scams by now because Ive neglected to tend to it for the past 5 days, what with the dying and all.

NOTHING

Then i check my regular inbox and there a fake email from you inviting me to the BETA.
Yeah right, all they need is my credit card right?
So i close my email and decide to log onto BNet and what do i find?......
SC2 in my account?!?!
S....C.......2......
So its 3am im sick.....tired...coughing.....poring snot from my right nostril and my body is still suffering from some sort of residual road aftershocks from 14 hours of continuous driving.
My girlfriend is begging me to come to bed as im trying to explain this amazing gift Ive been given.
She goes to bed and i win 4 out of 5 of my placement matches and get ranked Gold.
By far the best week ever.

Seriously Blizzard.
I love you.

Cliffs: Drive crazy far, Get sick on my vacation, almost die driving back, come home, Video Game Gods smile upon me.
