Saturday Adventuring

I was talking with a friend tonight and we were just venting about how it's so crazy to live and have everything bought brand new. Specifically in regards to clothes. Wandering around the mall tonight somewhat looking for various articles of clothing and coming to the conclusion that everything that we saw that we thought we wanted/needed was almost ridiculously overpriced. Particularly in the city, it's pretty noticeable and easy to get caught up in having the latest trends and having those trends bought new. Another friend of mine worked at Value Village and I had the pleasure of shopping with her in the summer and going through some of the things to look for when shopping for second hand items. And contrary to popular belief not all second hand items are terrible. A lot of them are really good quality. And no I am not saying it is wrong to buy something brand new. I'm just saying it is not always necessary to buy everything new and that we should check our attitudes when we go shopping for those new items we think we need. So ya. Oh and we both ended up not getting the items we were actually looking for tonight though I think it was because we couldn't find them for a decent price or in a particular style...

In other news I went paintballing today. And came out with no welts. yay? I kinda wanted a welt just to have a battle scar of some kind. Oh well. I did get a couple red marks though. It was fun.
