I had one of those days where I had a very low resistance to buying stuff. I went to Hot Topic because it was the quickest place I knew of to pick up a pair of ordinary black fishnet tights (having poked a hole in my last pair the last time I wore them, yet wanting to wear a pair tonight). I was expecting to spend $8.66 ($8.00 plus tax) and go home. Instead I got roped into all kinds of random accessory stuff and wound up spending over $65 because I was picking up things just on the basis that they caught my eye.
This included a pair of black panties with glow in the dark stars (which unfortunately were a set with some magenta and turquoise ones with the same pattern, but I couldn't resist), red and black striped ankle socks, red and black checkered and also black and purple striped armwarmers (first, how often am I really gonna wear these, and second, shouldn't I have just made them myself?), a pair of blue shiny headband things when really I only wanted one but the alternative was a set of red and black, a postcard, a can of "Vamp NRG" which was mostly purchased for the can itself, a Gir pin for
kissspooky since they had no Gir dolls (sorry! they did have license plate holders that said "Invader Zim" on top and then "IDIOTIC HUMANS!!" or something on the bottom, but I wasn't sure if you'd like that kind of thing), silver holographic shoelaces to go with my silver holographic Docs, and um... either that's it or I don't remember. And of course, the fishnets I had gone there to get in the first place.
I saw a number of other things that made me go "want!" but I successfully resisted them on the grounds of their relative expense, usefulness, likelihood of actually fitting (in some cases), etc. These included: a Grumpy Bear plushie, an Emily Strange lightswitch plate thingy, purple and black striped wristbands (come on, I would never wear these), a messenger-bag thing with skulls on it (the only one in this list I am seriously considering going back and getting, even if it was $35), some sort of like "bondage pants" which were black denim with red plaid on the inside, a black shirt with purple fishnet sleeves that had three purple glittery stars down the front, shiny purple/blue iridescent nail polish in a star-shaped bottle with a glittery cap (I'd use it, but I should use up what I already have first), a black watch with some blue flames and other designs that was supposed to be blacklight responsive (I might actually go back for this too, if it's not too expensive - my watch has ceased working, not that I use it that much), and a black t-shirt with a graphic of a penguin and the caption "I wish I could fly". I know all this is evil (it's Hot Topic for creepy's sake! what am I thinking??), but like I said.. having one of those days where it's really easy to spend money...
