cool shoes and ebay and plane tickets, oh my!

So a good bit of my spring break we spent on the internet. Browsing, emailing, instant messaging, posting on forums, not blogging, you know, the usual stuff. Somehow I ran across a really cool pair of shoes, and I fell in love. They are Vibram Five Fingers. They are made to be outdoor activity shoes and are designed to give you the feel of walking and running and hiking and swimming and such barefoot while still protecting your feet. Where I would wear them, I don't know. I would really like to buy some, but they are kind of pricey, which brings me to ebay. I found a pair in my size on ebay, and I bid on it once, but lost because I wasn't home when the bidding ended. I wasn't too disappointed though, because I found another pair to bid on. Too bad they end while I am going to be at a wedding. I did end up finding a jacket that I wanted though, and I was home for that. It was intense. Some guy and I went back and forth in the last minute, and I got the jacket, for 1/3 of the retail price. XD It was exhilarating. I really want to buy something else off of ebay, just so I can bid and win. I've also done some other internet buying this weekends. Unfortunately, it did not involve ebay. I had to buy a plane ticket off of amazon. I was paranoid that I would make a mistake and schedule it for the wrong way. I didn't end up making any mistakes, but they only did e-tickets. You are just supposed to print out the confirmation email. This worries me. I don't want to get to the airport only to have them tell me that I cannot get on my plane. That would suck.

PS. It took me a whole week to finish this blog. I started last Monday, but then I forgot to post it....
