i heart online shopping

i'm not a shopper. i don't like malls for many reasons. i get bored with them after about 30 minutes and need to leave. if i find a store that appeals to me (games, books, tools, lacy underwear), i usually get into trouble. i'm an impulse buyer and it really gets me in trouble, cause most of the time, i don't really need what i buy. i've fought this my whole life and although i have a really nice flat screen tv or a pretty good computer, i tend to levitate towards buying more, bigger, better. i always keep within my means, so i'm not bankrupting myself, but in the end, shopping makes me nervous. when i buy clothes, i know what i need and i spend mere seconds purchasing and finding the door again.

what i do enjoy is online shopping. i'm not talking about QVC, but shopping online can be harmless as much as it can be dangrous. i go thru online shopping phases on a pretty regular basis. plus, when you order something online, you get the enjoyment of recieving a package delivered to your home, so it's like crimmus in september.

last night was one of those nights. while eating dinner, i was watching Pimp my Ride on empty-v and heard a quick line from a song i used to have. i remembered a few of the words and could sing them, but for the life of me, i couldn't remember the band or the song name. so, i scoured the interenet for almost 3 hours looking for the band. i hit various music bulletin boards, lyrics sites and music sites in an effort to remember the song and band. after googling myself into exhaustion, i finally found the band (Sunna) and the song title (Power Struggle) and then set out to get a copy of it. i only wanted the song, but after futile efforts to find it on itunes and real, it was nowhere to be found. i called my roommate at work and he said that not only did they not have it in the store, but none of their stores would ever carry it since it was over 3 years old. so i hit cdnow (which reroutes to amazon - but then, everything reroutes to amazon these days) and found a used copy for a dollar and nineteen cents. with shipping, the entire cd came to three dollars and sixty eight cents. and it was being shipped to me from someone in my own state. yeah, it's used, but i'm getting it for one song. this is 368 i can justify. so, in the end, i lucked out after some good efforts. and where else can you shop in your underwear?
