Oh. xD Alright. I just misunderstood. ;_;

THE ITEM HASN'T EVEN FUCKING SHIPPED YET!!!!

Definitely not arriving in time for my friend's Christmas present...

I want that tree in real life.

I need to wrap my sister's present. ><

shit, i need to grab presents for my parents and my bro.

i know what to grab for mum and bro, but not for dad. which is unfortunate and fairly annoying, because he's fairly vague about it.

could grab a ps4 voucher for him.

Still need to make a couple presents....but they wouldn't arrive in time anyway, so maybe I'll make them during my annual "Christmas kidnapping" instead. Since I also want to get my apartment picked up so it's not a huge fucking mess if I decide to have my friend check in on the cats and I won't be able to that AND make presents plus work. Might not bother with that as I'll only be gone for around 24-36 hours. Idk. I hate Christmas.

What's today? Thursday?...
I'm done. I'm done with Thursday! X( I'm done with being woken up before sunrisssssee! I'm done with cleaning up after everyone, I'm done with making Christmas cookies, I done with being summoned, I'm done with everyone interrupting my writing session ahhh! >m< I'm just done with today. I'm hot and tired...and really want to feel better already... ;-;

I also have another present to make, and by Saturday. ><"

hmmm -- i wanna make wilson (don't starve) on here shsdjdsdjhdsk

the clothing options will be easy as hell tbh.

Ugh. Want to go to sleep, but I ate too much and now I kinda have the vurps.

Kill me now.

Managed to get another Overgrowth Anka Egg -- got another Squidly.

Hm. Shenanigans, perhaps.

*screams incoherently into the void because sometimes I just need to scream*

*screams as well, then plops down on the floor face flat*

Derpy joins the choir of screaming. No one's quite sure what, if anything, he is screaming about though.

Really pissed at my landlords right now. They "upgraded" the laundry room. By getting rid of the coin-op machines and replacing them with machines that we can literally only use by downloading an app. And the app has some pretty bad reviews. That basically state that the app will lock you out of your account after you load money into it and the customer support basically saying "sorry, we can't help".
So yeaahhh....bathtub laundry it is then!

That's a candidate for daily awful. Not every tiny shit has to be "upgraded" to apps anyway. What's up with people these days, I wonder?

I initially thought that they still were able to take quarters, but the actual coin boxes were removed, so literally, app only usage. And there was no email or anything to warn us. It's just frustrating because I had loaded the machine before realizing I couldn't use it.

Plus side? My annual Christmas kidnapping suddenly has a positive side because I can use my dad's washer and dryer for free. So I packed up a big bag of laundry to take with this year. (Only like 5 bags more to figure out how to deal with later...) XD

as usual, mom is complaining about her christmas present u.u

We had a similar problem at my old apartment complex. It didn't require a phone app, it required paying on a website and then punching in a code.

I UNDERSTAND what the intent is. People just don't carry cash anymore, and they want to be able to pay straight from their account. And processing credit cards is surprisingly expensive; for something like a laundromat there has to be a LOT of traffic to make it profitable, and something in an apartment complex isn't likely to do it. That leaves them with using an app so that all of the transactions can go through some central agency that can get the economy of scale.

What I ended up doing is buying a mini-washer and mini-dryer that I could keep in my apartment. It was like $50 each. I'd run a hose from my sink to the washer and then route its drain into the toilet, and then it would just wheel out of the way when I wasn't using it. No more laundromats! It eventually paid for itself.

it is odd that i am infinitely more comfortable talking as CRT, even with the additional formatting stuff, than as myself.

Pretending to be a human is hard.

Never do I drink champagne, wine, and two cups of coffee all in one day. xux *flops* Merry Xmas indeed......

Caffeine and alcohol do not mix well.

Got $125 in Amazon gift cards. Only I don't really shop on amazon anymore and what with trying to declutter, I don't really need anything that I would normally get (like clothes or yarn). So I can either blow it all on nail polish and sisal rope to replace the falling off stuff on the cat tower or risk buying one chair for my living room which may or may not even be comfortable.

The power is out and I have too many things that need to get done that require the having on of the power.

Finally things aren't so hectic.

Omg, it's like I actually need someone to help me spend my xmas amazon money...
XP
Why am I so bad at shopping rn?

Why not save it until you have a need for it later? Something you might not have considered could come to mind. Or something that needs replacing could come up.

Because I canceled my Prime subscription and it ends in a couple weeks and I kind of feel cheated having shipping costs eat away at my balance. And also because I am de-cluttering my apartment, so my only real need is better furniture to optimize my living space and those are expensive anyway and won't be even something I start looking at seriously for probably another month.
And also I pretty much never buy on Amazon anymore except occasional clothes or the small boxes I use for storing my jump rings (but I can and do get those at JoAnn usually).
So....yeah.
My save cart is mainly full of nail polish and other nail art supplies. And a roll of sisal rope to fix the cat tower since the columns are pretty shredded.

:c Indeed it is...I'd really rather be something incapable of reproducing sexually and able to not have to deal with managing all sorts o' pain...like water. :) or a shiny rock.

Just spent all my Christmas Amazon money. But I feel guilty like I need someone else to tell me that it's okay that I just spent $111 of it on various nail polishes...
*sweats nervously*

But...there is really nothing I desperately need on Amazon (I shop local as much as possible...) and the polishes are all really pretty "special effects" ones that I will probably use a lot and don't exist in stores here... *tries to justify why I bought them even though no one probably cares*

It's okay to spend $111 on nail polish! <x] Must be good polish!

I got a set of 6 magnetic multichrome "cats eye" effect polishes and a magnetic wand (sold separately), a set of 4 thermal polishes, 1 linear holo top coat polish, and 4 really cool looking multichrome polishes. Oh, and a bottle of peel off base coat since I'm starting to get low on it and I can't get the Unt brand stuff anywhere in town.

O.O Ooouhhh nice! I used to do the magnetic polishes and loved the shiny designs. ^-^ Back when I used to paint my nails every month.

I've only ever had 1 magnetic polish and it doesn't work super well. It is from Claire's back in...the early 2000's(?) when magnetic polish was a new concept. But when I saw the cat's eye effect polishes, I was super excited. And when I found them in a normal not-gel polish I just couldn't resist!

I'm saving my xmas ebay money for now. But I have been eyeing stuff on there hehehehe

It is definitely fine to spend $111 on nail polish. After all you're supposed to spend your money on something that you'll a) enjoy, and b) use. This is an investment in your mental health to prevent depression and burn out - much cheaper than therapy to undo the damage afterwards, and better anyway.

(Also what is magnetic polish? Does it make your hand stick to the fridge? o.O)

Lol no. Magnetic polish is just a polish with very fine magnetic particles. So when you hold a magnet over it while it's wet, the particles will react and make designs like waves and stripes.

And someone must have lost their gift because I found a quadcopter in the yard.

Been there done that (wrt weather reps)

ooh. Quadrotor. I want one.
