self care peeled potatoes
 

it's your birthday month. you have the equivalent of 500 US dollars. wtf do you get yourself? you can't pay off debt or doing something noble like give it away to a puppy rescue. you have to get something or do something you don't need to do but it would totally toss your salad and get your ass into the mix getting your swerve on. what do you do with the cash?

Headphones

there's a conference i'm going to in feb, this would pay for most of it. most expensive thing is 2 days hotel

uh but assuming i have to buy a thing... i want to get one of those dna kits. they are less than $100 now though. but i cant think of anything else

what brand / model?

you also cannot use it on a hotel unless it's a sex hotel with a hot tub and you are eating steak and lobster and getting your asshole licked.

the DNA kit is legit but you have 40o left to go! it had to be for you still. be more nicer to yourself.

this. along with a hi-res music player. I'd say a FiiO and a pair of Shure SE215s would be great.

ooh, or a guitar and an amp. Pretty sure you can get a Yamaha Pacifica 012 and a Vox Pathfinder, or something.

but i dont need anything. my electronics are all working fine. i'll prob need a new laptop in a year or two but there's nothing wrong with it now. my phone, same thing.

maybe hire a really understanding masseuse to do some massages. i legit cramp up whenever anyone touches me so it would be good to work that ptsd reaction out of me. but idk if i'd end up crying or not being able to do it or w/e

what do you WANT in opulence?

nothing really

i guess maybe clothes? a maid service for my apartment for a few months?

yr on right track now :P

what kinda clothes? what would these slave bitches do specifically? and what are they wearing.

1. buy the super cool tiny new super nintendo with games built into it.



2. purchase a nice new sweater or jacket or pants that'll make you feel good about yourself. preferably turtleneck.

3. invest in bose noise cancelling headphones. they're awesome and allow you to ignore and shut out the world around you more effectively. i have these:



you can get the spiffier, wireless version:



4. go to a really, really nice fucking restaurant and throw down. unhindered. no limits. either solo or with a friend. i personally recommend pizza. but sushi would work great as well.



illustrated: a pizza.


comedy option:

5. indulge in childhood nostalgia and buy TMNT-shaped pasta cans, simpsons cards,autographed photos of Beverley Hills 90210 stars, or whatever else errects your boat.

A night at the Marina Bay Sands so I could swim in the infinity pool.



If there's anything leftover from the room rate, a massage.

it appears that i am a dumbass and only skimmed this thread before answering, because my post was intended as suggestions for noyen, and doesn't necessarily indicate what i'd do with the money.

i mean not that it's dissimilar, but my list would probably be a bit different.

TB if we pool our money we could get the hotel room and then get shitfaced on overpriced whiskey and Singapore slings

I would buy 500 dollars worth of skittles

i'd donate all to IS, Allahu akhbar!

Gijs Akhbar

I think I'd just change my last name to Akhbar

Is this the appropriate thread to mention that lately the mental image of getting a potato peeler to the eyeball keeps on popping into my head, causing me to wince?

I have no idea why it's this image specifically.

i'm a doctor and this is a signal you don't shave your eyeballs enough.

with mustard shaving creme.

penis balls.

slicing up eyeballs
hahahaho

I want that neapolitan pizza so badly b0lly

* New china cymbal cause mine's all cracked

* lots of pizza

for the longest time i'd frequently get the mental image of my fingers getting shredded in a bread slicer maw.

i also don't know why.

1. One-qay ticket to New Delhi
2. Pick-axe

this is what I call self care through consumerism.

oh and I see these are suggestions for me! I am curious what you'd change for yourself. obvs pizza will remain.

this sounds glorious too.
