"... measles of the psyche, mumps of the soul" - Billy Collins

A friend of mine has put me on a shopping ban until about mid-December. Which means I'm not allowed to spend a single cent on anything other than food and school. This is my second week into the challenge, and I'm already suffering withdrawal symptoms. No clothes, no jewellery, no nail polish... THIS SUCKS! Seeing as the consequence of breaking this challenge is even worse, I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. Why I allow myself to walk into situations like these, I dont even know. SO, fuguring it won't do me or my pocket any harm, online window shopping is the safest bet - when the only thing you can damage is pretty much just my psyche.

Fetishism.

Sorry for being away for so long, I guess when blogging starts to feel like a chore, I deserve a bit of a break. Intending for it only to be a short week long break, studying for exams and being sick have done nothing to help. But for now at least, I've got the blogging bug back!



Leather. My obession with this stuff is quite apparent, and rather unhealthy. I feel like I've let it manifest so much in my mind that at the end of the day, I NEED leather in every shape and form of clothing possible. I mean, LOOK!
