I may have mentioned in the previous post that I've been doing some online shopping lately. There's a reason for that.
It's fabulously antisocial.
Now, I'm not going to say that I hate people, but I will fully cop to being a bit of a solitary lass. I like to read. Putz around my house. Do errands. Alone.
Sure, I can chat up a storm when I'm around people, but I'm always a little relieved when I'm back by my lonesome. I'm always worried that I'm somehow doing something wrong, or that people are seeing right through me and thinking "this girl doesn't belong here." Not that I'm really lacking in self confidence; I just tend to feel out of my element, being as how my element is, well, sitting by myself in a Starbucks with a book.
As a result, the idea of being able to buy stuff from the comfort of my couch, finding great deals along the way, is wonderful. No tracking down someone to ask questions? Great. Not having to fend off sales staff? Excellent. Being able to pick out a shoe and know that they'll have it in my size, instead of walking into the store and asking some pretentious employee if they happen to have a 10/11 in any of the 14 similar shoes I desperately bring up, knowing he'll probably return five minutes later, chewing his gum and saying 'sorry'? Priceless.
One of these days I'm going to wake up and discover I've become a full-fledged hermit.

I am with you Shannon. Since moving and NOT having a job (am beginning to feel v. useless), I spend copious amounts of time on amazon.com adding things to my wishlish for our unfurnished 1 bedroom apartment.
