I have a confession; I'm addicted to shopping.

I mean, not that girly type shopping, where you just spend 5-7 hours in a mall, going from KappAhl to Nike to FCUK to KappAhl again, and spending $700 on clothes and $8 for half a cup of iced latte.

I mean just the plain take-the-thing-and-go-to-the-checkout type shopping.

I for example have a Canon EOS 400D (starting at $1,079 back then) just collecting dust in the closet; I wanted to become a stock photography marveller. After 2 pictures winter came, and afraid that I'd destroy the camera in the Finnish winter breeze, I gave up. Now I'm eagerly waiting for the summer holidays so I can go out and take some serious photographs, only to find out that I don't have time for it because of my summer job.

I have currently 117 DVDs. I have watched each once or twice, and now they're also collecting dust, stacked in two layers on two shelves, forming a sweet, tight cube of digital entertainment. Too bad the DVD drive in my laptop broke, so I can't watch them. But a sweet wall decoration they are.

I have almost every single The Sims 2 expansion pack ever. Only one I'm missing is H&M, and that's just because I refuse to pay 26 dollars just for an advertisement. Maybe I'll buy it when it gets cheaper after The Sims 3 comes out.

I'm dreaming about buying a cajon. I used to play drums, but my "talents" have faded since. I wouldn't even do anything with one, but I still go regularly drool over at the Schlagwerk website.

I can't help it, but when I have money, I just have to go spend it immediately.
