But the exchange rate is even eviler.  Morrissey is playing in London when I will be there, which means I HAD to go.  But I missed the tickets going on sale and selling out completely.  So I went to Ebay.  Evil Ebay.  Auctions kept ending early on me.  And then, I was the high bidder on a pair, pretty great seats, the Friday night I wanted to go, it seemed good.  I bid about $12 more than I’d planned to in the hopes that I’d get them.  Then came along another bidder who wanted them just as bad and we got engaged in a death match to the last second.  I was victorious.  But I wound up paying substantially more than I planned to.  I can’t calculate the exchange rate that fast!  Damn the pound.  So that was my first and last experience with Ebay.  I’ve had a stomachache ever since I placed my freaking bid this morning, and I had a brief moment of triumph when I won, followed quickly by a buyer’s remorse hangover.  But let’s face it, my 14 year-old self would think I was pretty darn cool.  Everybody has their addiction:  for some it’s porcelain dolls, others toys, some people are addicted to collecting video games.  I have none of those addictions.  My addiction is live entertainment.  Yep, I admit it, I will pay ridiculous prices to go see my idols perform live. 

Alright, enough of that, buyer’s remorse: go away and replace yourself with the sweaty swooning ecstasy I will experience while watching Morrissey.  In London.  Yowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

God, you like totally need to grow up or whatever.  I’m 14, so I’m allowed to do dumb things like buy concert tickets with dad’s credit card or sneak out of the house to go smoke in a ditch, but you’re like an adult or something, you need to like, be responsible.  That’s so immature, oh my god.
