My facebook ban is coming along pretty fine I suppose.
But my online shopping abstinence is DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN D:
shuhan* says:
shopping is EVIL.
I think I have about 30+ tabs of stuff I wanna get, but one of the splurge-worthy (oxymoron!) ones would be this:

Oniomania has apprehended me even though I intended to put up a good resistance. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak. Or if I were a little more deterministic, I should blame it on my genes. Whatever the case, I'm going to Wikipedia now to seek help for my psychosis.
Suggestions for change:
  • Reduce temptations
  • Make lists before going to the store; buy what you need only – call folks, take a trusted friend
  • Wait so many hours before purchase
  • Do you need this or do you just want it?
  • Develop other ways to handle emotions
  • Develop fun things to do
  • Learn to ride through urges and preoccupations
  • Develop habits in stores
