that overcomes even the best of us, the one when your on eBay and its less then half an hour until the item in which you have been obsessing over and have emotionally invested yourself in could either finally be yours, or lost forever. I don't know why, because most of the shit I want to buy is not even that great anyway, but its the obsession with WINNING which turns me into a raging cave woman, pulling out my hair and occasionally shooting out rambling swear words, aimed at my 'opponant' who could be anyone, anywhere. This all sounds very over dramatic, but this ebay malarchy really does being out the homo sapien in me, much more than a raw cow or blunt tool ever could.
Okay, so its down to 24 mintutes. The last bidder placed £9.99 yesterday. The item which I so desire is a suade mens coat, 'vintage' and rather beautiful. AND ITS A TENNER. Unless the other fucker who probably hates me as much as I hate them decides to panic (probably before I do) and punch in £25 at which point I will probably doubly panic, go for the £50 and actually win. Because God is not in a great mood with me and also know's that I only have £3.71 in my account so I'm technically cheating by bidding anyway. The tension is really getting too much for me, my hands are sweating and everything. I need to stop and say to myself, 'calm the fuck down, because ITS JUST A COAT!'. Right, done. Phewwwwwwwwwww.
Okay, in 18 minutes I will either be reaaally happy, the kind of happiness which only material gain can generate, or completely miserable until I find the next garment which I can obsess over. I definately need a cat.
Anyway, in other news, I got my fringe cut back in today. Look a little bit like a dykey mumsy school teacher but I'm sure I'll grow into it.....
gusto ako luck!
(wish me luck in Filipino... oddly)
