My Dad makes a ton of money selling stuff on eBay. Because of that, we’re almost constantly going to into antique shops and thrift stores looking for new things to sell. Some of the best things I find are in these shops, and they’re usually the hardest to leave behind (cause there’s not a ton of them everywhere, or I can’t just go into a store later and find more). That being said, when I was a little kid, I wanted to be a hobbit. Because of this, I literally forced myself to eat mushrooms until I got used to the texture, and grew a fondness for them. (Yeah, I was a cool kid). I stopped once I grew out of my Lord of the Rings phase, and I hate eating all of them except portabella, but I still think they’re cool as fuck. I regret leaving this jar behind.
This one’s for you. ;D
These are things I almost bought when I went to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Universal Studios. I would like to know that though I did not buy these, I did get some other kick ass things that I will post some time within the next few days on my main account.
While this wasn’t particularly amazing on its own, it was in Zonkos, rendering it automatically awesome:
A while back my grandmother won a trip to Universal Studios. She took me, my little sister, and my mom along with her (she won four tickets). The amount of things there that I didn’t buy was astounding, along with the amount of things I wanted to buy. As a, at the very least, fairly legit geek and an ex-weeaboo, these shirts called out to me.
I took this picture, along with a few others, a while ago- before I had the idea
for this blog. I’ve kept the images all this time, though, that’s how bad I wanted these things.
These were on sale today for half off their original price of 20 dollars. The sale ends tomorrow, and since I haven’t got the means to go back, I have passed up my chances at getting these fantastic shirts (I’m not paying twenty dollars for one). I was, however, going to make sure I forever memorialized them, and take a picture.
The fact that I wanted this so bad is an indication of the little bit of weeaboo I
still have left in me. In case you can’t read it, it says “Many people leave a Five yen coin in their wallet or purse so they will have a strong connection with money and prosperity.” It wasn’t actually 40 dollars, either- it was on sale for eighteen dollars.
Star Wars candy holders that I spotted for 1 or 2 dollars. With some effort, I finally managed to walk away, after convincing myself that I would only buy them if they had a green lightsaber one, and they did not.
I still had to force myself to leave them behind, though.
I saw this on sale today at Kohl’s for $9.99, though it’s normally 30 dollars. Notice that it also comes with a beanie!
