Well, I've officially figured out how I'm going to die. I'm going to be found starving, surrounded by books. OK, maybe not, but it wouldn't suprise me. I've found that I can be financially responsible in almost every way except when it comes to buying books.

When I was in PEI I bought volume 1 of L.M. Montgomery's journals. The following Christmas my parents were able to get me volumes 3 and 4, but I haven't read them yet because I wanted volume 2 first. I couldn't find it, for over two years I looked. Finally, on Friday, I called the place in Canada that I had bought volume 1 and said I needed volume 2. They gave me the phone number and the website of their supplier. I made the mistake of going to the website. Instead of placing a phone call and saying I need this one book I got online and went "I don't have this and I don't have this and I don't have this." Thirteen books later... Well, at least they were Canadian prices so I spent about $3-$4 per book on most of them, but still.

So you think I'd have enough of book buying for the day, but no, mom wanted to go to B&N that evening and wanted someone to go with her so I went and got four more books. In my defense, one was a replacement of one of my favorite books that I had loaned out and will never see again as I haven't heard from that person in over a year and have no idea where she is. And another was one that I've been waiting to come out on paperback (mezdeathhead it's got an extra section about the book tour if you want to read it). But still, I spent 30% of my monthly spending cash in one day and all on books. I think I have a problem.
