I’m an online shopaholic. Well…sorta. Once a month or so, I go through phase of wanting to buy stuff. I’m a very materialistic person…
Materialistic describes a person who is markedly more concerned with material things (such as money and possessions) rather than spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values; an adherent of materialism. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialistic
Ouch. I’d like to say I’m also spiritual and intellectual as well….the cultural thing’s got me tho. I rarely care about that stuff. That definition of materialistic hurts.
Anyways, I’ve prepurchased quite a few things…while this month is slim, there’s quite a lot of stuff coming in November that I’m excited about.

There are so many things to look forward to!
DCUOnline should be fun, GT5 will be nice, I need a game I can pick up and play quickly, not something long and addicting (like my FF13 Collector’s Edition)….again, I’m hoping I really don’t get addicted to the DCUOnline game. Stop me if it becomes noticeable! I’ve been looking forward to the Sylvanas toy ever since I saw it. It looks FREAKING AWESOME.
I think what I’m most excited about is…Back to the Future Blu Ray. I adore that movie, I’ve watched it so many times and I love so many aspects about it. The DeLorean of course but I think this might be the definitive movie that got me into sci-fi, time travel, time paradoxes, maybe even cars.
Man, thinking about this movie…I just totally resurfaced a super old memory.
Okay, I doodled this really quick. The top left is a picture of a couch/chair…and to the right, what would happen if you took the cushion part out. You could rest the cushion on the back of the chair to create a kind of…well, it is what it is. So anyways, it was a regular chair….but when I was younger, I would take the cushion out…sit inside that chair part, and pretend I was driving a DeLorean. I’m young enough here that I’m fitting inside that small area, with my feet close to straight. So probably…I dunno, 4 or 6 or I dunno. The bottom image I drew was my “Time Circuits”, attached to the inner part of the couch, infront of me if I were sitting in the chair. A rectangular paper with 8 equal size slits. Between 2, I would put a stripe of paper with numbers on it…so I could move the strips around to get the destination year. I would set a time, go there, and imagine the world of that year (run around a bit), and then jump back in the machine. This is totally true, you can’t make stuff like this up :P It’s too embarrassing!
I remember specifically traveling to the prehistoric era frequently. At the time, dinosaurs had also been a huge interest of mine. So I would travel to that era, see a dinosaur attacking and jump back in the machine and GTFOutta there. I also had my (nerf / cap) guns to protect myself. And my force fields. You gotta have those…as long as there’s enough energy that it doesn’t run out, or you’re screwed.
I really have/had an active imagination and I was always strong with arts and crafts…doing stuff like this. I created this awesome Cyclops visor as well out of gold foil paper and red/blue or red/green 3-d glasses I’d accumulated. I would take the red out of the glasses and put it in the visor…it looked awesome…and it was like seeing the world the way Cyclops would see it (all tinted red)…I know that was Grade 6 (when I made the visor). I was so kool back then </sarcasm>
Ah, the couch memory was quite a fun surprise writing this post. How completely insane my parents must have thought I was. I was always in my own little world…my imagination was something great back then. It’s still with me but it’s more practical, realistic. Back then, I was totally out there…unhindered by the weight of responsibility and society, purely imaginative, original, and border-lining the edge of reality that would be impossible to do now.
