I am going shopping now.

In downtown Chicago.

Two weekends before Christmas.

I should be back this afternoon but, if I am not, pray for my soul and remember that I died whilst stimulating the economy. I harbour no regrets, save that I have but a hundred dollars to give to my country.

Ah, Sam. I hardly knew ye.

(I'm going shopping in central London tomorrow. I love it in a masochistic way.)

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, brave soldier.

(My closest concession to mad shopping so far has been going out the afternoon of Black Friday. I intend it to stay that way.)

[firynze.livejournal.com]

It's been nice knowing you, Sam.

Someone will be by to take care of the Roomba, and I promise we'll find a good home for the wildebeest.

Can't be as bad as moving in Wrigleyville on a game day, can it?

[alexiel-neesan.livejournal.com]

Your memories will be fondly cherished

(I took the coward way out and bypassed the christmas shopping this year.)

We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

(Actually just spent that past hour singing that song to myself. The English non-pub version. Next I shall conquer the Scottish! Version, that is.)

For heaven's sake, man! Online shopping was invented for a reason!

*salutes*

Morituri Nolumus Mori!

I have no Discworld icon! How can this be?

I have to go out grocery shopping today; that's going to be bad enough! I'll be lucky if I can stand the carols and tinsel and crowds for an hour without cheerfully committing homicide.

Dude, I know, right? I just want to get some broccoli, Sun Chips, and maybe some vino without losing a limb. Is that so much to ask?

[lavinialavender.livejournal.com]

Icon love.

If you come back and you've been half eaten alive, here is something to make you feel better:

I sent a postcard to the US today, for the Postcrossing project, and the stamp had wildebeest on it. I love Germany XD

Shopping in New York is pretty fun. If you wanna die. Especially around Herald Square, where Macy's is. *shudder*

Alas, as I am finding myself suddenly job-less, no stimulation of the economy for me. :-/

This is why God invented Amazon.com, Sam!

[frenchroast.livejournal.com]

Yes! Amazon is your friend! Plus you can tell people about how you discovered their gifts in the darkest, wildest jungle of the internets.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Oh and believe me, I dropped $75 at Amazon in gifts with Free Shipping :D

So am I... you know, I hadn't even thought about it. God help us both, I suppose.

[toujours-nigel.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Who's taking care of R, actually? He needs it more than the Rooomba, perhaps. ;)

[littlered2.livejournal.com]

Good luck and godspeed. I hope you make it back in one piece.

I know next Saturday my job will be hectic thanks to Christmas; I work in a farm shop at the weekend and the weekend before Christmas is always hellish as everyone tries to buy their vegetables for Christmas lunch at once. One year we ran out of parsnips. It was horrible. *shudders*

LOL! :D

Be bold and the mighty forces will come to your aid. (I'm in the same boat today)

[thisdaydreamer.livejournal.com]

Whatever you do, just don't have a panic attack!

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

ROFL! *cracks up laughing*
