although... i am hoping a few specific nail polishes go on sale for cyber monday.
Been back and forth on a Kindle for days now. Don't want to spend too much. Probably going to buy a couple games off Good Old Games, though. The doorbusters seem underwhelming this year.

I'm planing on getting a laptop and a personal DVD player as my old one kicked the bucket a few months back.

I would never have owned a kindle, but it was given to me free. I honestly prefer the feel of real paper in my hands; the kindle is great for putting .pdf books on for free, but I'd rather have the real book in my hands. Also, I think the kindle fire is too much, a basic kindle is more than enough since battery life is long lasting. Other than my statements on the kindle, I think black friday is so stupid and for consumerist sheep. We are a society of consumers, nothing more. Black Friday, you can count me out; never shopped on black friday and never will. I have most of what I need right now and I'm quite happy with that.

I'd really like to downsize the amount of "things" I have and spend more time reading. Everytime I look at a print book I'd like to buy now, I imagine how quickly these "things" will re-accumulate.

I used to go to the library quite often, but they seldom had what I wanted and they had to order it, plus I can't afford to travel around much, so I combine trips. I'm not saying a kindle is at all bad, it great because there are so many free sources for books on the internet and I can get a ton of books without ending up with more books than I have space, I was just saying I personally prefer the feel of having a physical copy of a book, I enjoy the feel and smell of paper while reading. I do think the kindle fire is a bit excessive, but again, that is my opinion. I like my kindle (Basic model, first generation.) but would not have bought it, it was given to me when someone upgraded to a new one, so mine was free. Just a tip of advice, if you vomit when faced with exteme anxiety like I do, never place it in your plaid shirt's chest pocket as it will fall into it. I only have a small amount of my book collection as we lost them every time we had to move, but I did manage to rescue some the local library was going to trash.

I'm too poor....lol.
but there's always next year I can start saving up for
Nope I'm too poor this year as well. That and I don't need anything really. I have in the past but I usually only went for a few select items and headed back home. Our places are not to crowded usually. Well there crowded but not to where people get runned over. God typing on this I phone is hard to do.

i just had to work a black friday (well black thursday) sale and it was the most terrifying thing ever. i hate crowds and people enough as it is, but they are a million times worse when they turn into savage beasts over sales for things they really dont need at all.
im still shaking >_<

I attempted to go, but ended up saying "hell no"! For some reason I thought Best Buy opened at 9:00 pm, and when I got there around 8:30 pm I saw this:
At first I thought it was for the REI store next door - lol! :bigsmile: Turns out that Best Buy didn't open until midnight and there was already a huuuuge line. Same with Target and Walmart, so it was back home to online shop! The earlier these stores open, the more chaotic it gets!
