I just woke up from sleeping 15 hours. Granted I was up for 28... But still I feel fucking amazing right now.

OMG I might possibly explode tonight (but not because I ate too much, rather because I am so very happy).

Just ordered $1,560 worth of stuff from Thinkgeek.  Can't wait to see what massive crate this stuff shows up in.

Holy Christ.

How much was shipping? I know on the book of faces you were talking about shipping being the main issue. And why the bigger the order the better.

Shipping was $89, which was actually really good because it divvied up to $0.99/item.

That's why the bigger order is better (at least when you're shipping to Canada). If I just ordered one $17 t-shirt, shipping would be $16.50. Totally outrageous. If I orders two shirts, shipping would be about $16.90, about half as outrageous. The more items you buy, the lower the shipping becomes on a per-item basis. Over 90 items, international shipping dropped below a buck per item. That's a pretty sweet deal.

Ya, I remember you saying that shipping was like 1.89 per item or something like that last time you did this. Either way, that is an impressive amount of stuff from Thinkgeek. I want pictures of the box it comes in. I also feel horrible for the UPS man that has to deliver that :P!


And ya international shipping can be crazy. There is a soap I want to get from France but the shipping double the price of it (and its not cheap to start with.) So I won't be getting any of it for a long while.

Well probably, "bad cure music" describes everything but Foxy Lady.

Got called into work for someone, who didn't tell me that there was an "outing" planned for the clients that day.  I'm not sure if I've mentioned it here, but I've developed some fairly severe anxiety issues in the last couple of years, and I have a major problem going out into the community.  The last time I hung out with my friends was Memorial Day, and that was the first time in months I'd seen them in the flesh.  So I wasn't too happy to get a trip to another town dumped into my lap with no notice whatsoever.

the "WOOHOO" part is that the guy I was working with was totally awesome about it; I mentioned that I was kind of freaking out about going out, and he said that he had a friend with pretty much the same thing going on as me, and the whole car ride to the destination he kept pushing the conversation and engaging me so that I didn't have a chance to start obsessing over my anxiety and start panicking, and told me I could call him on his cell if things got too hairy and I couldn't handle it (me and one client were being dropped off, and he was taking the 2 other clients somewhere else) and we could just end the "outing" right then, which instantly made me feel a million times more relaxed once I knew I had an "out" like that.  So, I got through the shift unscathed, and I owe that guy one.  Nicest thing a co-worker has done for me in a long time.
