Yup

I'm one of THOSE people. I'm one of those sicko's that get up day after Thanksgiving and shop. Why? Awesome damn deals, man. I don't care about the people, my opinions of them couldn't be much lower then they are now. Ok, I must be off to save the world of.....something impressive I'm sure. Later!

*grin* I didn't do it this year. In past years, I was usually one of those weirdos that was up at 4 a.m., waiting in line and freezing my ass off in order to get the $19 flatbed scanner and $5 Barbies. This year...fuck it. I used to put so much pressure on myself to get big and impressive presents for people on my list (especially the former in-laws) and I just can't/won't do it anymore...

Last year, Chris and I started a tradition of smaller and exponentially happier Holidays. Not putting in 3-4 hours of shopping before going to the office today was my first act of defiance agaist consumerism.

That said, I'm off for my 8 hours of hypocrisy, trying to encourage others to spend...spend...spend like the wind! *sheepish look*

Honestly, for the most part, here there weren't nearly as many deals as prior years. However it got me up, out of the house and I spent a good part of the day with my mom (whom I like but never spend much time with).

I was just happy to have today off from work. :P
