Online shopping is so addictive

So, okay i did get the night off. My employer was totally cool about it and said "have fun, we'll see you tomorrow." She rocks (most of the time). So me, my sister and my brother went and had pizza along with many of his teachers and kids from his school. It was supposed to be like a family night thing, but yea there was like nothing to it except that all the people there for the family night sat together in one big room but still with their family or friends. I thought that was pretty funny, its supposed to be all about school spirit and whatnot but all it was was me being uncomfortable having to eat gross pizza. But my brother wanted to go and he had fun playing the games afterward and seeing his friends so it was worth it i suppose.

Then afterwards we went to Hastings, and i was looking for a specific book, couldnt find it of course. So we were walking around and my sister showed me a Spike action figure! I absolutely fell in love with it. I mean it looked perfect. There was a Subway Spike figure and then a vamped out Spike in his trademark black leather coat. They were too cool for words. I obviously knew there were Spike action figures (as well as practically everyone else from the Buffyverse, which includes Angel the Series) but i had never seen one in person. The action figure was pretty expensive, at least for me, at 40 bucks but i so would have bought it had it not been quite that much. But i told everyone that im going to buy them.

I think im going to look online, because surely you can find them for cheaper online. I love Amazon. I suck at eBay shit, but Amazon i love because you find it, you click it, add it to your cart, and say buy and you know its yours, no ones going to take it away from you by 3 measly cents. So tonight i bought 2 Buffy books which was exciting. I have never read books about Buffy before and im not talking fiction books that aren't really cannon i just can't see myself reading those, but never say never. Anyway im excited because most of the reviews for them seemed favorable and im a sucker for behind the scenes stuff and trivia and quotes and all that jazz. The two books i bought tonight were The Watcher's Guide Volumes 1 and 2. I didn't get Volume 3 yet because that one was 10 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much right now. I spent 10 bucks on both of these books together. Also the other night i bought another Buffy book "Seven Seasons of Buffy" and that one should come tomorrow or today rather. I am so excited about that one. Its just like all kinds of writers and behind the scenes people writing about the show they love. I cant wait.

And now i want to start looking for the book i didnt find at Hastings online too. And start looking into Spike action figures and action figures of all the other Buffyverse characters. I never thought i would be someone who would want to collect action figures and read books about a televison show, but anyone who shares my love and obsession with this show knows how quickly it settles into your heart and imagination.

Well look at that its only 1:30 a.m. and im pretty much finished with what i want to do so i may try to go to bed. Or maybe I'll watch an episode of Buffy... Night.
