drool, think, calculate, cry

Here're the reasons why I should never be bored:

1. I tend to cause trouble for myself and (mostly) for other people.
2. I get frisky/borderline violent, which leads to reason number 1, and the biting and slapping...just ask those closest to me. I'm like a puppy dog.
3. I do online window shopping.

Nowadays, we live in a society in which everything can be found on the Internet. The Web's even managed to create pseudo-holidays.

Let me explain. First, you see something you really like online. You whip out your credit card, type in the number, decipher those contorted letter thingies on the confirmation site, and voila! You've paid for it. Now, when the package actually gets to your door, you've completely forgotten about paying for it, say, two weeks ago. It's like Christmas all over again: the gift, the mad tearing of the box, and instant gratification. So much better than buying things in person and actually seeing the exchange of cash.

Really, it's no wonder why people are constantly going into debt. I was watching "King of Queens" today, and Carrie had come up with the idea of buying then returning really expensive designer clothes and shoes. Tuck in the tags, try not to get it dirty, return it the next day and say it doesn't fit. It's not a bad idea, but I wouldn't say it's something I'd dare to do. Plus, I'd feel pretty pathetic, which leads me to the question:

So why am I putting myself through this?

Why do I order magazines all the way from Japan to drool over things I know I can't have? Or could have, but just know better than to splurge?

See, things are different from high school now. Before, even if I wanted a $500 Gucci bag, I wouldn't have the money to begin with--move on, find something cheaper. But now, I'm saving up money faster than I know what to do with, and the strangest thing is that I'm spending less than I used to. So what's changed?

Let me name a few: wedding, down payment on a house, domestics.

It's never too early, kids.
