Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: Re: This is an interesting hypothesis!

[quote name="Quétinbec"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]I have no problem buying coffee but I get nervous as shit about buying music from hip record stores! I also basically stopped reading fiction because I couldn't bring myself to buy the pulpy horror stuff I'd actually read, and instead bought unreadable brainy stuff that people on the internet recommended (<i>A Confederacy of Dunces</i>).[/quote] Isn't it interesting you're scared of buying music when it's something you do for a living, and Jerry's scared of coffee shops when talking shit about TV shows and other coffee shop activities is what he's best at, and I'm scared of buying fabric when sewing's something I like. Our precious little things! I lie and say I'm picking fabric up for my girlfriend. It's a terrible lie because I never know what I want until I've seen and felt it, so although I'm supposedly there just to pick it up, I'm going through everything and being fussy and saying, "Oh, no. She wouldn't really like this. She'd love this, but do you have it in a double knit without the obvious ribbing?" and they're like, "Is this what you want?" and I'm like, "This is probably what SHE'S after, yes." Other things I'm nervous buying: fancy meals, sex, and wine. I lie when buying those things, too. [/quote]
