My parents have, but I need to pack my stuff, and I still need to work on that. Not really looking forward to it.

[ShiraNoMai]

One week till I move. Guess I gotta start packing up my stuff, don't I? *looks around room* ...that's gonna be so much work! x.=.x

You didn't start yet? I thought you'd been working on that since you first mentioned it.

Says the man that waited the night before and morning of to pack his suitcase for moving to America

To be fair that was because I absolutely hated the idea of moving out and didn't want to address it wherever I could get away with it.

Had an idiot blow a stop sign today and then flip me off and honk me endlessly when I didn't stop as he tried to do it because I was already in the intersection so couldn't exactly get out of his way to let him through, not that I would've had any intention of doing so.

[ShiraNoMai]

Perhaps that's the reason why Maniak hasn't decided to pack yet either

Drivers in SoFlo get DRAMATICALLY worse during the holiday season. Way too many out-of-state folk that just don't know where they're going, using their god damn phone while driving, and either wildly slow or wildly fast folk. It's so infuriating. >.<

Trying a new fitness thing today: decided to add more cardio to my weekly workouts, so woke up and went to gym today and did 30 minutes of brisk walking. Felt pretty good. I gotta remember to bring headphones next time though. I chose to watch a YouTube video with subtitles instead, which was fine cuz it was a Did You Know Gaming video (very wordy/informative).

That's what you did yesterday when you said you were going to be shopping around, right?

Now that I'm posting a little late to this post, I don't really remember.

But, most of my Christmas shopping was done on eBay this year. I bought like a small handful of things offline, however.

Man, I actually forgot eBay exists because I've not used it or heard it mentioned in forever. XD I think the last time I used it was to order some rare gaming plushies a few years ago.


Going out to a concert tonight of the person @ShiraNoMai works for. I think we get in free since she works under him which I hope is the case because I wouldn't really care to go if it was going to cost money. Not that he isn't necessarily worth it, I just wouldn't be so heavily inclined to go.
Edit: And randomly her name colour suddenly works in posts again when she gets tagged. It hasn't done that for me in months for some reason. XD
Edit 2: Oh no there it goes after I edited this post because the system doesn't know what to do with her apparently.

I missed that picture in your AMA thread. Going by the background, I'm going to assume they were being sold at the Meadowcroft garden center? Trying to remember if that's the one that has a ridiculously huge area set aside at Christmas or if I'm thinking of a different one.

Yup that was at Meadowcroft, and yeah they had a big area for a German market with Christians related things, a second with like bigger decorations, a normal area I didn't go in then finally another area for Xmas stuff where that stand was. There were another soft toy stand too which had dinosaurs on.

Great you got 47/50 then.

I haven't used eBay in a long while too. Hope the concert was enjoyable.

[Cory]

@Moonface: eBay still remains my primary online shopping source.

[Moonface]

Hope the concert was enjoyable.

It was, especially since it was the last night of the tour so they got carried away more than normal. Also marked the first time I went to a casino which was interesting. No, I didn't play any slots.
I did however try this alcoholic ice cream out and it was actually really good: teh cream of alcoholic ice

@Cory: I guess you primarily shop for things that other people are selling rather than getting brand new things from the likes of Amazon?

[Cory]

Yu-Gi-Oh cards and products have been my main item of online purchases, so even if they're used as long as they're in near mint condition I don't mind eBay one bit!

[Moonface]

Ah. How many cards do you own at this point @Cory?

[Cory]

Thousands, I'm pretty sure. Would've had more, but I sold a lot over the years and even gave some away for free.

[ShiraNoMai]

I still have about a few hundred YuGiOh cards somewhere. All pre-Synchro and Link of course. Probably won't be worth squat considering they're in plastic bags and in "very good" condition lol

The concert went well. That venue we went to went through a massive overhaul/change since I was last there about 15 years ago to see Def Leppard/REO Speedwagon/Styx. MUCH better acoustics, which was important. But good golly gosh, you'd have thought we were in 2019 with the way all them people were packed in there. And only maybe a handful of people in total masked. Unsurprising in the end, honestly, but still disappointing.

Americans are going to do what Americans are going to do.

Speaking of Americans our destiny still has yet to be fulfilled. >_>

Did you sell them because they were duplicates or do you only like to keep the ones you really like?

Americans are going to do what Americans are going to do.

Eh, you say that but I bet it would've been as likely to happen in any other country in the world so long as the government wasn't placing a restriction on such a thing being possible.

Worked an 11+ hour shift today and been trying to get the aches to go away. I really didn't expect Christmas time to have more workload than Thanksgiving build-up but apparently I was mistaken, or this just happened to be a conveniently timed event of having a lot of work today.
