Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone out there. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things after a nice relaxing, post-finals, holiday slacking time. Yes, school does lurk on the upcoming calendar, but I'm not worry about that until next weekend.

So, back on topic... Like many of you, I did all of my holiday shopping online. In fact, I do a LOT of my shopping online. It usually works out well, but there is one site that has caused me a few problems: neighborhoodies.com. I love this site. I love its attitude, I love the concept, it's just great. However, the site doesn't love me back. I've placed 3 orders on the site, two of which the company lost. One went through without a hitch, but that was the hoodie I ordered for someone else. Whenever I place an order for me, the order just disappears. Weird right? Well, with the last lost order, I had called and said (after several weeks) where is my order? And they said, umm, yah, lost it. So I said, "Clearly, I am not meant to have this hoodie." And they refunded my money. And I dealt with it. But I was sad. This was in October.

Then, on Xmas eve, the Fedx man drove up with a package. It was my hoodie. It's lovely. It's brown and has my last name in gothic letters on the back. Very gangsta. I think the company sent it to me as a gift, but other, more scrooge-like friends think it was a glitch between their fulfillment and their ordering system.

Whatever it was, I love the company. I had been feeling like they thought I just wasn't cool enough. Now I feel like I belong. Awww.
