The anality of it all...

I rarely get whole days off where I'm awake enough to go out and shop at the mall.

It was the day after I got my wages when I decided to go to a mall and buy a bar of soap.

...

Because I needed soap, okay?

Anyway, I had already purchased said soap when I passed by the hardware store. Then I thought, "Hey, I think I need an extension cord." And I really do! Because the, uh, adaptor for my broadband connection is only so long and it doesn't reach my bed, hence leaving me unable to type while lying down.

I was on my way to the cashier when I passed by the shelves for hammers. And there was this hammer and screwdriver set and I thought, "I'll need stuff to fix the extension cord so it doesn't move all over the place."

Then I thought, "I'm going to need screws for that."

So, I went and bought some screws. And since there were hooks right beside the screws, I bought them as well.

Because you never know when you're going to need to... uh... hang things. On a hook.

Then I saw some super glue. I got that too. Because I was pretty sure there were some things in my room that needed to be stuck together.

And just a measly five meters away from the cashier, I fought the urge to buy a toolbox.

When the OCD gets going, there's no stopping it.

Interested in a Wireless LAN router that eliminates the need for an extension cord?

Ah, no I guess not... then you would have bought all the tools for nothing...

I thought of that but I'd still need the extension cord for my laptop. Unless you have some sort of battery pack that lasts for 24 hours. ^_^
