Nostalgia is Stupid

[jedishampoo]

So this is dumb. During my visit home to Indiana, I mailed a few boxes of stuff to myself in Las Vegas, hoping to sell, on E-bay, some of my extensive collection of crap that I haven't seen in six years. I win by making money, my parents win because my crap is out of their house, everybody wins.

Except... one box was full of Nintendo and Super Nintendo games. I took pictures, listed them on E-bay, and instantly received a couple of requests to sell them now (rather than the auction format I put them up in). So I'm like, what's worth something here? And in researching games and whatnot on E-bay, I saw so many games I used to play and read the glowing descriptions and it made me want to play the games. Zelda A Link to the Past? That was a blast. And Megaman X2 and Super Mario World and Mario Kart? SO MUCH FUN back in the day.

WAIT: I'm supposed to be selling the damned things, not buying more, right? I haven't had a Super Nintendo console since 2002, when I gave it away. Then on E-bay I found NEW game systems that will play both Nintendo and Super Nintendo games, and the systems are only $49.99 each! WOW, imagine the fun!

Except... I already have an N64, a PS2, and a GameCube that are gathering dust... Remind me, please, that selling stuff is GOOD and I have other hobbies now and that these games will only gather dust, too, along with the super-special console, if I buy that. Please, I need your help. ;)

Hey! I just found my Super Nintendo this week, too!

It was in a box...under another box...under 3 Space-Bags full of yarn and fabric...covered with about 2 inches of dust...and surrounded by things I haven't seen in a very long time. Oh, god I can't throw anything away! *cry*

But I don't even have a TV set to play games on. So maybe if I sell or give away all of this random crap that I don't use I will have money and space for more Saiyuki crap! ^_^

Well, my friends is almost all bad and told me to hold onto the games, and my roommate whined. And my Mom found my brother's Super Nintendo and is shipping it to me. So I ended one of the auctions early so that sharpeslass, that whiny beotch, can play Super Mario Bros. I probably won't play at all, uh-uh. <--- lying.

I have too much Saiyuki crap, too! :) It's all so pretty, though! I finally put some of my extra doujinshi up on E-bay.
