Those of you who think I never get anything for myself --
ahem!
darthrami
-- will be pleased to know that this morning, for my self-Christmas present, I purchased socks. And other stuff, yes. I spent $40, as follows:
$11 in LJ candy, including the extra userpics I swore I'd never, ever want, and two months' paid time just because I will forget about it during the move
$7 over my gift card at Borders.com (bought The Vintner's Luck again, Mixed Magic: Four Tales of Chrestomanci, and The PowerBook for me, and H.D.'s Helen In Egypt for my fiancee)
$20 in license for a computer game to which I am, sadly, entirely addicted when I'm supposed to be writing (but only then. I don't play computer games in the airport, or on the train, or anything like that, oh no. Just when I'm meant to be doing something useful)
and $2 for socks, yay socks!
And now I have to get ready for work, like a good heathen.
