Welcome back, saxxydiva!!

Well actually my miracle cel story involves a 
cel that you own. ^_^  My number 1 wishlist cel 
at the time - Super Sailor Venus performing her 
Love and Beauty Shock attack - popped up on YJ.  
I always bid in that last few minutes of any 
auction, so I settled down to bid in the last 15 
minutes of the auction and my pc wouldn't let me 
bid.  OMG!!!  I started to panic, but couldn't 
get it to work.  I could only sit there, 
frantically trying to use my shaking hands to 
try anything I could think of to make it work as 
the seconds ticked down to zero.

I was crushed that I lost my chance to at least 
try to own this cel.  Most of the time I can 
just shrug these things off, but this one really 
got to me.  I think because it was purely my own 
fault.  I knew my pc had some glitches from time 
to time with YJ and I waited too long to put a 
bid in.  As you may remember, I even came to the 
forum to do a cel beg that didn't work.  Which 
was perfectly understandable - I never would 
have let that cel go either. :)

Then several months later I happened to order 
some backgrounds from Anime Taro and just for 
the heck of it I asked Stephen if they were 
going to put any SM cels up for sale soon.  To 
my amazement he responded he was planning on 
uploading several "amazing" SM cels later that 
night.  It's the only time I've stayed up for a 
Taro update and around 3:30am the cels were 
uploaded and low and behold the first one to 
appear was a Venus Love and Beauty Shock cel. 
O.O  I couldn't believe it!!  I blinked a couple 
of times to make sure I wasn't seeing things and 
then I added it to my cart as fast as I could.  
On top of that, I was able to pick up a few more 
truly amazing cels that still remain some of my 
favorites of my collection.  I'll never forget 
that moment - I was so excited and thrilled I 
could hardly get to sleep that night.

So here's the cel that caused me a little bit of 
pain but also a whole lot of joy. *sigh*
