Yay! Space!

Yesterday was a big-ass spending day. Lush was having a sale, and since I needed soap and shampoo anyway, I spent a bit more than I would have and got a TON more stuff than I would have. Sweet! Then, I went to Target. I encountered a Chinese woman as I was walking there from the bus stop. She wanted to go to Target too, so I gave her directions, but her English wasn't really good enough to grasp the street names as I told them to her, so I just suggested we walk there together. We chatted a bit about China and about the process of learning foreign languages on the way. While I was at Target, I got a bunch of things I've been needing for a while: pants hangers, slippers, socks, a new eyelash curler (with some fake lashes for NYE), and especially new CD and DVD wallets. I got a big one for CDs because I've had tons and tons of CDs scattered haphazardly on the shelf of my closet. They constantly threaten avalanches. I got a smaller one for DVDs because I don't yet own many. That happens when you usually only get them either as gifts or when a rental place is going out of business! I put the DVDs in the new case last night, leaving aside box sets that have lots of accompaniments. I didn't tackle the CDs until today.

Anyway, I have just spend most of the past three and a half or so hours reorganizing all my CDs, burning ones I hadn't burned yet, and putting them all in the cases. I have thrown away a TON of jewel cases. Now, though, my closet shelf looks SO nice and neat and easy to deal with! I have SPACE up there! It's not going to come crashing down on my head! Yay!

Oh, I also scrubbed and polished (as best I could) the reflector pans on the stove. And did dishes, after making brunch. Now, other than bringing a few old cassette tapes and my old Discman (those paragons of obsolescence) to Goodwill, I'm not sure what else to do today. Oh, wait: I need to replace my pretty sparkly rhinestone necklace that broke! I need a new one for NYE. Jeez, more spending. Oy. But at least that will get me out of the house.

Meh.

This is how I know I really am an extrovert: I get so depressed and woe-is-me when I spend a lot of time alone. Yes, I saw the boy Thursday night, but that was only for a few hours before bed. I spent Thursday alone until evening, Friday alone, Friday night alone, and today alone, and now I'm spending tonight alone. Blah. See? I'm bitching and moaning and feeling sorry for myself. Highly unattractive.

I do have nice smoky brown eye makeup on, though, and that is attractive.

Maybe a martini and some food will cheer me up. And a movie and some knitting. *nods*
