I'm a Fucktard

Recommended Posts

I have spent a bazillion fucking hours in the fucking malls trying to do my xmas shopping. I walk around with no bags in my hand doing nothing but rubbernecking at all the little mall sluts, I then leave empty handed realizing I have accomplished absolutely nothing. :S Anybody else having this same problem?

No. I don't celebrate Christmas.

If I'm going to get someone a present, it will be at some odd time during the year because it struck me as appropriate.

I feel for ya' and understand your anguish, my brother! Been there done that. Shopping 'brain-fart'. Besides, I hate malls. I'd rather somebody beat the crap outa me than go to the mall! I think of who I have to buy for, make a mental list and hit the small stores.

When I start shopping for those who don't have a "sure-fire" gift option, I go in somewhere broadly appealing, like Barnes & Noble (online too), and just open my mind.

It sounds weird, but I just shop for books / wine / gadgets / entertainment while thinking of them. Not "What do I get them?" but "What was the last really good conversation we had? Have I ever made them laugh?" and so on...personal stuff between us, inside jokes...

It works, and it makes the shopping enjoyable, hokie as it sounds. I also treat myself to a yummy coffee, and a thing or two for myself (within budgetary limits)...




Btw, if I didn't do this, I would go insane. I hate pressure shopping.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

No, I think, it's a pretty neat idea. I usually stumble across things that causes me to think of someone and think, they might get a kick out that or, I'll bet they can really use that. Usually, it's in a store that I just happen to go into. Pressure shopping? HATE it! I try to form, as I mentioned, a mental list then just whatever 'strikes' me in the store.
