You're right about spending money on stuff you 
like instead of stuff like clothes and other 
boring stuff.  In my case, what I like to spend 
money on is cels; it's so much FUN!!  Every time 
I get a package in the mail, Mom's like "Uh-oh, 
another eBay thing," and if it's a flat package, 
she'll be like "Another cel?" and I'll just be 
grinning all silly-like ^_^

I remember a few months ago, I got two BGC OVA 
cels in the mail, and Mom just happened to want 
to look at the cels (for once)...one was of the 
D.D., and the other was of Priss being strangled 
with a lead pipe by a Boomer x.x  and Mom looked 
at the latter and asked, "Now why would you want 
a cel of that?!?" and I just mumbled, "'Cause 
it's a BGC cel..."  She just shook her head in 
disbelief =/

If she knew how much money I've spent on cels 
(between $1000 and $1500 so far), I'm sure she'd 
kill me, but then again, she'd freak out even 
more if she realized that just ONE of my cels (my 
first one, actually) was $282 of that LOL ^_^;

My dad doesn't even know I collect cels...  My 
little brother takes a passing interest in 'em 
whenever I get a new one, and when I showed my 
older brother my online gallery 
(http://prisschan.rubberslug.com/) a few weeks 
back, he said "It's official, you're a freak"...I 
felt so honored ^__^
