Aqua Regia

Prince Adam. Thanks to eBay, he is now mine.

Oh, that's all I need - another toy line to start collecting! :)

But I have GOT to stay away from eBay now at least until next month. Far too much money has recently flown out of my bank account because of it.

So I was just outbid on three things, all in the last five seconds. And those three items would have finished my Jedi Apprentice book collection too, which makes it worse. For a person like me who has to have the whole collection, it's very distressing to have it near completion and then suddenly snatched away from you (maybe like a marathon runner being tripped and twisting their ankle with the finish line in view).

Grr...sometimes I really hate that side of ebay - it always seems that if I'm not willing to put out exorbitant amount of money I won't win the auction. It's strange because I always see similar auctions that I don't bid on go for (sometimes) much less. I guess it's just the vagaries of the market?

Also, we have finals for our third semester starting tomorrow. @_@ I'm so tired of looking at my laptop I could just die. All I want to do is pass these four tests/classes and just go away for my three-week break. I feel as though I've never needed a break as much as I do now - there's just something about going to school all throughout the summer and realizing that most people your age are enjoying a carefree summer vacation. Thank goodness I'm going away for a few nights too, or else I'd scream.

But yeah, I'm a little miffed with Ebay at the moment.
