I took my next step in becoming an official gamer today. I preordered Neverwinter Nights 2. Preorder, yes, as in actually preordering. D= To tell you the horrible truth, Gaia, I spent some of my grocery money. This I told Ying, my roommate, and she went all "NWN2! NWN2! NWN2!" So I had to throw things at her.
When she came to, she said that it was fine, because she uses my PC for PC games, as it runs faster. So she'll basically lay claim on my PC for the first week, anyway.
But grocery shopping. I love grocery shopping as an adult. As a kid, you beg your parents to let you buy cookies (and chocolate bars, etc), and, if your parents are like mine, they say no. They buy the crappy bran and raisin cookies which you end up loving like some kind of freak because you eat them so much. I often find myself roleplaying in my head "ChiChi, please can I get the fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt?" "No, ChiChi, you know your brother likes stirred." and I get to say "Well, tough luck, I'm buying fruit-on-the-bottom!" And I walk out of the groery store proudly with my yogurt until I am arrested for shoplifting, at which point I lose what dignity I gained from managing to talk to myself in my head, not aloud.
I buy lots of health food, because my mother was always a bit of a health nut. It's not anything hardcore, it's more like I'm drawn to oatmeal cookies over chocolate chip, and yogurt over ice cream. It's a mental twitch that my mother installed while I slept. Ying saves me, though. She buys tonnes of candy and chips and pop. I don't know where it all goes. I find the empty bags sitting beside the PS2, and I'll bet you that it eats it while we sleep.
Ying and I split the ramen/chow mein/rice cost though. We're a sad bunch of asian girls, with at least a quarter of our grocery list going to rice/noodles. We buy in bulk, though (neither of us are too into those instant-cups). It really is the staple food of our diet. The only other grain we eat is randomn bagels/croussants from bakeries/Tim Hortons.
We spend an obscenely large amount of money on fruit and fish. Not so much on dairy. Wait-
Isn't this the most boring blog ever? I bet there's a "Dusting the Leather Interior of Your Car" blog somewhere, but even with that you can laugh at the psychosis of the car enthusiast. Here, you just shake you head and say "Oh, my, you sure love grocery shopping." Help me out here, Gaia! Give me journal topics. I think that with your "my journal" screen there should be a list of ideas for journal topics, that change every month. Then I wouldn't be left rambling on about groceries.
