I think part of it is that I would have expensive tastes if I could. I bought a $600 down coat in Santa Fe this year...because it was on sale for $99. (It's gorgeous. But was too big for me already and now that I've lost weight is just about unwearable, so I should probably sell.) So I buy expensive things at normal prices and normal things at dollar a bag prices.

I get real hung up about expensive things sometimes
I once explained to megan walker that the difference between a $40 haircut and a $65 haircut was in the 10% of time finessing the details. And I think that's kind of true with most things - finishing the surfaces, creating the subtle connotations of "Quality!"

But, like, what is worth? You know, man?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That makes it sound like what makes things expensive is stuff I quite likely wouldn't appreciate.

My Shakespeare professor had a great riff on this re: Shylock's "My Daughter, My Ducats!"

I will pay premiums for quality where I value it. Case in point: fixing Pumpkin, and the rest of the crews' shots. Sure, cheaper at ASPCA, but my vets do pro-bono shit, god knows I've benefitted from that, I can afford it, so I pay the premium.
But clothes? Me and my cat is hard on thems.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, one of the cool things about Buffistas is I can mention that I just watched 36 episodes of Lost Girl in six days and no one would raise an eyebrow.
Probably.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would!
It took me a week.

Woo hoo! I have the record!
It did help that my boss was out of town on Monday and I had nothing to do.

Does that mean you are all caught up to the current season?
