Happy Valentine's Day to me!

08 February 2006

You know how some people have the Drunk Calling™ disease? And then there's other nameless individuals who have the Drunken Ebay Purchasing™ disease? A nameless and faceless 'they' say the first step to recovery is admitting you might have a problem ('might' being the operative word).

Dear readers... it's possible I have a disease called The I-Deserve-It Online Shopping Disease™ and YOU MIGHT HAVE IT TOO! The only way I can justify my latest purchase is by sharing what little information is known about this disorder. Translated? This is my petty and crude attempt to get you guys buying stuff on this site too, so, you know, I'm like all normal 'n stuff. But first, let's review a few of the tell tale symptoms...

  • The "Wondering how I got here?" forcefield of distortion is classic. Basically the sense you followed no fewer than 2 dozen random links to end up on the current selling page - a page you might never find again with an item you might never get the chance to purchase again.
  • Rationalizing that the item for sale is meant to be yours, obviously, because of the convoluted path it took to bring the two of you together. Clearly a sign the universe is hard at work making matches.
  • Psyche imbued with the mantra, "I deserve it, this is fate."
  • *clickity click* Purchase said item.
  • This is the clencher: a noticable absence of guilt (as in, like, ever).

I bought something today. First of all check out this website: Iron-On Resistance. Then check out the bags and accessories (purses, clutches, and wallets). Aren't they the most beautiful things you've ever seen? Did you *see* the pink? Oh GOD the pink!

It just so happens I don't own a stylish, pink, ÜberDesigner clutch covered in classy flourishes like those making appearances in previous sopheava.com incarnations. Fate's hard at work to bring us together my friends, clearly. Who am I to fight the inevitable?

Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?!

You've just done uber evil to me, you know that right? And the pink gun clutch was sold out...

That's really weird because when I bought mine this morning your clutch was still there. Is there *anything* pink left???

SO CUTE!

Do they offer a matching lipstick case and keyring, cuz I think you totally deserve those too ;)) Can you imagine how thrilled Bella would be to be ignited with some pretty pink keyring goodness?

So... when do you go shopping for the perfect pink dress (or maybe just a simple black one) to match?

Why were my ears burning and my nose itching while reading the first paragraph?

It's not a disease -- it's a gift!

"A gift" is right. I don't think anyone denies that you're speshul (with an 'sh').
