two pennies trying to stay warm

Who's spending too much on cosplay? Mmmm, how about that boy with only $9 in his bank account? Wheee! Dude, I really overdid it this month. I suppose I could cut down on my food budget, that'd give me some extra funds. It's either that or cosplay, ha ha ha. Those are my two main . . . optional expenses. Ah, it's cool. I get paid this week anyways. But seriously, I need to get out of this habit of throwing money at cosplay. I need to swallow my pride and do more shopping at Goodwill, even though it smells there. Heck, even Habitat for Humanity has this secondhand hardware store, I should go there for my hard cosplay needs. That's something to consider.
Ah, but I haven't even bought any Christmas presents yet. Egh . . . I don't really wanna. The people I'm obligated to get gifts for (mi familia), they're all broke so it's not like I can expect anything in return. Plus, I don't really know what to get them anyways. My runt brother's easy to shop for, but everyone else . . . *shrug* hell if I know what they want. Bath&Bodyworks for the girls, sausage&cheese sampler for the guys! Pfft. Lame.
I'd rather spend money on presents for friends; I've got a better idea what they want (how could I not, with all these wishlists darkening the skies?). That'd be more fun. But the gift-giving heirarchy goes: family, friends, co-workers, ex's, etc. I can't buy for friends until I get stuff for the family unit. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Blah blah blah.
Ah well, I'll figure out something.

P.S. Ha ha. Less than five minutes after this post, I was looking for my keys so I could go to Home Depot. *sigh* "Does he ever learn?!?"
I'll start being responsible tomorrow. ;)
