Our society is constantly telling us to buy crap so I definitely don't think it's just us BPs asking "why in the world did I buy this junk" BUT that being said...I'm a HUGE traveler like someone else said. It feeds my disease that's for sure but it also in a lot of ways centers me and makes me feel whole. Nutty juxtaposition. I definitely spend money I don't have (which is bad) on traveling all over the place (which is fun). I also buy a lot of one particular band's merchandise (not Kiss...lol) - which is sad since I'm 40...
