Been keeping myself preoccupied with the internet and related things (phone, etc.). Kinda forgot about this website. lol.

Bought a ton of s*** on AliExpress that isn't being shipped for some reason. I think the holidays are just making everything a nightmare. I wasn't even trying to buy gifts. It was just random stuff for myself.

Gotta buy everything from China before the postal things take effect, as I don't want to pay a small fortune for delivery 12/1/2018 and beyond (I think that's when it kicks in?). I think the postal stuff is fair, though. China is NOT a "developing nation" anymore and shouldn't be getting special discounts on delivery.

Oh well. Still have to buy some Christmas gifts to participate with the family, whether I agree with consumerism or not. Wouldn't be fair for me to get presents from other people and send none to anybody else. What a guilt trip! I also told everybody "NO PRESENTS FOR ME," but they're giving them to me anyway, hence I have to participate in consumerism stuff
