The internet is evil

I am so addicted to the internet. I am really addicted to shopping on the internet. Its just so easy - you can sit at your desk and with just a few clicks, have anything you want. But the best/worst part is that if you are just typing in numbers, it dosn't seem like you are really spending money.

I used to be really addicted to Ebay. I bought everything kind of thing you can imagine off Ebay. Then I discovered selling things on Ebay and that is just as cool. I used to manage a couple of clothing stores, and because I have an addictive personality, bought a lot of clothes. A LOT. So many clothes, in a variety of sizes from fat to fairly skinny, that many of them had never been worn. So I sold a lot of them on Ebay and made (almost) enough money to pay for all the things that I bought on Ebay. I finally had to cut myself off from Ebay before I went broke and had no clothes left to wear. I still miss Ebay, and from time to time, I take a look at all the thngs that I don't really need but are so cool. I need an AA for Ebay.

So now that I am not allowed to be on Ebay anymore, I have started to shop in actual on-line stores, for things like books and make-up. I love how you just click on what you want and it arrives at your door in a couple of days. I love it so much that I have done most of my Christmas shopping already. And I am havng it all shipped to my sister's house (Jen, don't open anything! It might be for you!) so that when I go to Turner Valley for Christmas, I don't have to worry about packing any presents - they will all be there waiting for me. I am a genius.

My only fear is that I am going to get too addicted to this kind of shopping too, and pretty soon I won't be able to do anything on my computer except actual work. That would suck.

I know. Last night I bought a flight and a phone and half an hour ago the groceries i ordered on Sunday arrived. It would be very easy to never leave your house wouldn't it?
