It's Amazon for me

Haven't done much of anything today. Slept for most of it, managed to get some laundry done somehow. Short shift at work and it went by pretty fast. Chelsea might actually work out great and it'd be nice to have another person added to the group of us that hang out. Cause right now that group is me and Amanda.....yeah.
Anyways Haven't felt like doing much online tonight. Just been shopping for dvds. I'm kinda a freak about it really. I have a list on several sights and every week (when I can afford it) I get one or a few from my list. I keep track of which ones I want more than others and when I ordered them and when they get here. Hey, at least I can admit that I'm a little nuts. I'm mostly a Amazon.com girl. Thomas made fun of me like who buys a dvd on amazon? He's more Ebay but honestly I've never found the prices there to be any better than they are on amazon. He says the customer services is better, dunno if it is cause I've never had to use it except for now that this one dvd that apparently isn't coming. But that one was really my fault because for some reason I didn't look real close at the seller and his rating was either brand new or really bad. If you stick to sellers that have been around a while with a good approval rating and a ton of reviews, you really can't go wrong. Anyways they closed his account (probably cause he was ripping everyone off) so I'm trying to get my money back since apparently amazon has the money and not him. He sent me an email a while back saying they're the ones who messed it all up. I don't really know how true that is, actually I doubt that's true at all. Luckily they've got a money back guarantee so once enough time has passed I'll get it all fixed. I wouldn't buy stuff from anywhere online if there wasn't some kind of guarantee. Luckily now all the big sites have things like that so I feel much more comfortable buying stuff. I know people worry about identity theft from buying stuff online but I think it's a risk for everyone. If you have a credit card or a SSN or anything there's a chance that someone, somewhere, somehow will take it. I do worry about stuff like that happening to me but it's not going to stop me from using my debit card online or in a store. I'm more the live my life and deal with stuff if it happens kinda girl. I think about my decisions but in the end if I want to do something I'll do it and the benefits outweigh the risks in my mind. That's just how I deal with stuff, probably not the most effective way but oh well.
Haven't been to a single forum tonight, very odd for a loser/geek like myself. Mood just hasn't struck me. If I can't sleep later maybe I will but for the most part I think this will be as active as I get tonight in the virtual world. Thinking about using the rest of my online Netflix movie time to watch something. That works out really nicely most of the time. The parents have an account and I get to watch x hours of movies online every month. I also get stuff in the mail if I ever want it, but most of the time I'm happy with what I can find on their sight or by slightly less legal means. I've watched many a pirated movie/tv show I'm sad to say but sometimes it's just so much easier than trying to find it on Netflix. The selection of stuff you can watch online is really very limited so if I get in the mood for something and I don't own it I can usually find it somewhere. Hopefully admitting this won't get me arrested or something. :P
I really really really need a haircut. I took it down after work and it's all the same length. Which for some people might not be a problem but my hair is way too thin for this to look remotely good on me. I should have gotten off my lazy ass and done it today but I guess it hasn't quite gotten to the point where I'm actually motivated to do something about it. Don't really have time to do it the rest of this week. Maybe I can fit it in Wednesday after work. It's harder now without Jen being there anymore I'm gonna have to find someone new but for this time I think I'll just have to walk in and take my chances. Luckily the place I go to is nice enough that I wouldn't really worry too much about anyone in there cutting it for me. They're all really good and besides I'm not terribly picky about it. Especially now that it looks so bad any kind of cut is going to be a major improvement at this point.
Nite guys.
