carved angel

let me start out by saying that if anyone's thinking of getting me something for my birthday this year, a manic panic gift certificate is the way to go. :wink:

but seriously, i should really just avoid their website. the irony is, i'm too broke to buy anything now, but when i have a job, i won't be able to actually use a lot of the stuff i want to buy. also, i wonder how old is too old for some things... who am i kidding? i don't care! it would be nice to be eternally 18, though.

the same goes for hot topic. most of their stuff is too damn expensive. but i'm probably too old to wear most of it anyway.

i'm almost 26. i'm reaching my late 20s. can you tell i'm not going to grow old gracefully? it's not even the wrinkles or grey hair i'm worried about. in fact, i think grey hair would be cool. but you just can't pull off the goth look as well when you get past a certain age. not that i'm not going to try like hell to do it. all i can say is that i sure wish we had places like hot topic when i was in school. sure, you could find cool stuff to wear here and there, but it wasn't easy. i had to go to places like frederick's when i wanted some fishnets. which is okay, but it's not a place you want to drag your parents into. well, i didn't, anyway.

i know it's very unenlightened, but i want nothing more than to go on a major shopping spree right now...
