Oh God. I just looked at my inbox for the first time in days and it is full - FULL! - of emails from amazon and various marketplace sellers saying:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORDER. YOUR MONEY IS FABULOUS, WE'RE SO GLAD THAT WE HAVE IT AND YOU DON'T. WHO NEEDS FOOD ANYWAY?
I was so good! I went a little crazy in December, so I very dutifully did not buy anything all January. An entire month! No new books! No manga! No anime! No comics! No cartoons! I know!
But I have now made up for this by blithely making so many orders that I can not actually bear even to count them up. And yet -- there are still so many things I want... :::looks mournfully at incomplete, 80 item, wishlist:::
I want I want I waaant.
So. I will not be buying anything in March, even though not buying things for a month seems to make me think that I should then buy the contents of an entire bookstore to make up for it.
(and, well, when I say I will not be buying anything in March, obviously I mean: apart from the things that I totally need, (like Prince of Tennis #6 and Ex Machina and is Ult FF #3 coming out anytime soon? and did you know Press Gang S1&2 was out on dvd? I didn't know that! But it is! and it's really cheap too), but that doesn't count.)
I used to be very frugal, you know. I was known for it.
They called me Frugal Poi.
But, Profligate Poi is more alliterative.

Also, I got a piece of spam today with the subject line: Health radish. In general, I wish crippling venereal diseases on spammers, but: health radish.
Dude. You're okay. You can just have really bad acne or something.
