TGirl Addictions
So you know how girls are addicted to things like purses and shopping, guys are addicted to things like tools and gadgets, and nerds are addicted to computers and books? Well . . . as a nerdy t-girl, I apparently get to be addicted to all of the above Maybe not the purses or tools so much, but I definitely have more than my fair share of addictions. And for whatever reason, when the weather starts to get cold I start buying stuff. It must have something to do with being less active, or not being able to go outside . . . but whatever causes it, it’s expensive!
My recent big purchase was Adobe Creative Suite 4 (that’s the new version of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver). That counts as a nerdy purchase I guess, but it’s also website related which makes it sort of a crossdressing purchase. Sort of. And then I realized that I didn’t know how to use my new software very well, and considering what I paid for it I’m not about to let it go unused. So I had to buy some books to learn how to use all my new software.
Then I decided that it was about time to buy wig stands for a couple wigs I have that I’d been hanging over doorknobs and the like. Definitely a tgirl purchase. And while I was at it I bought some smaller breastforms to wear with strappy tops. You know, just so I could combine shipping.
And the other day I was at the hardware store (picking up some stuff I actually needed), and of course I wandered around a bit . . . and I found a set of worksite lights (you know, the big quartz lamps you can light up your entire yard with) on sale for 80% off. So of course I couldn’t pass those up. I’m going to use them as studio lighting, but really, did I need another 1200W of light?
I can justify most of this stuff as investments in the website, and to be honest they are all things that I will use regularly and probably make me more productive . . . but I also just really wanted them Oh well, guess I will find out in a few months (tax time) if I overspent or underspent this year! Wish me luck!
