I've noticed that I've become a major major budget shopper. I mean.. i am still an impulsive buyer... and probably being a budget shopper just gives me more reasons to buy more things. Yea.. it sucks to be me.. but at least I'm helping to stimulate the economy. I can't say the same for YOU, you money hoarding conservative, yankee hating confederates. BLAH!

But anyway... yea... i used to be all about top of the line... let's go all out.. I gotta get the best... But now it seems more like I just need enough to get by. Ask me six months ago what kind of computer I was going to get.. .and I bet you i would have said everything top of the line costing me about 3000 bucks. But now... ask me.. and I'll probably just say i need to upgrade one or two things on my computer right now, and I'll be set for the next half a year or so. I'm even just planning to build a budget computer for kicks.. it would probably only be a little better then my computer right now... but it'll only cost me 400 bucks.

And even with my car... When I first got it, I wanted everything that was the best: Best brand name, best performance, best known, best color, everything. Now, after feeling the wrath of a bank account that seems to never go above 900 dollars... I am learning to deal with budget parts and custom mods. More speed? Buy a 40 dollar air filter and drill in some custom holes for better air. 400 dollar adjustable height coilover springs to lower my car? Psha.. forget it... 100 bucks for used springs that can't be adjusted.

Ok ok... so yea.. one of my belts is squeaking and i went all out and bought a new part.... but you know... i'm nearing my 60 mile tuneup... so everything needs to be replaced sooner or later... Might as well do it now since i have problems.

Yes... I just wrote all this to convince myself what i'm doing is right. Feel free to contact me and tell me so.

Next step... set up a wishlist so all my adoring fans can send me things and tell me how cute i am! =D
