I have waaay more pair of shoes and watches and ...well....clothes because of the net!!! I hate to shop in the *old* way, you know, park the car, walk from shop to shop, browsing, trying shit on. I much prefer to scroll, scroll, scroll, click, add to shopping basket and checkout.
Also, my options are heaps broader and I spend heaps less even though I buy more
Communities - I *actively* (which means if i manage to post here, I post at the others) in 3. I frequent (well, by frequent I mean when the cellar hasnt got enough threads to keep me busy at nite) 2 others, but they are ALL female sites and sooooo bitchy, its more for reading than participating.
I now know alot more useless/weird facts

Yanno, the kinda stuff that when I blurt it out at lunch the boys give me the raised eyebrows and its usually followed by "where the fuck do you hear this stuff?".
