am i a shop-o-holic? unemployment checks weren't enough to fuel my shopping habits, but now that i'm working (temping) again, i can return to my consumerism ways. within the last couple weeks, i've done some spending: i finally renewed my subscription to Giant Robot, went to a sample sale (where i bought 4 shirts), bought a shirt from urban outfitters, bought a pair of jeans from a thrift store, bought some cd-rs for the cd burner my roommate gave me (he upgraded, so i get the slow one, but it's better than nothing), i've also been eating out alot lately.

i think i'm gonna start a "wish list" on my blog. i'll make a list of the things i discover in magazines, websites and whatnot and compile a list, so i don't forget. i have multiple paper lists scattered over my desk with names of bands, dvds, sneakers and clothes i wanna check out. i might as well collect them and post them.

i don't know why i like owning things so much. because i grew up never getting the toys everyone else had? because i'm materialistic? because i'm brainwashed by the media? who knows...?
