I have a new obsession. It’s an addictive, amazing-yet-horrible thing called Etsy.
Now, I know Etsy isn’t anything new to anyone (in fact, that’s where I’m buying most — if not all — of my Zelda bathroom decorations from) but I’ve never really, erm, spent hours on end just surfing through its wares. Not that I’m doing that now, or anything…I mean…aw, fuck it. I’ve been spending a LOT of time on Etsy and have consequently (in a good way, that is) bought many ‘a thing.
LOOKIE.
Who doesn’t need a bag stating where he or she learned their basic cognitive skills? Not only does this bag let the world know you’re awesome, it lets them know you haz smarts cuz u kno shapz.
Now THIS is one of my favoritest things lurking in my apartment (you can order personalized ones from DeeplyDapper!) ‘cuz not only is the most amazing key holder ever, it’s going to go perfect with my 8-Bit Mario entryway. WAZZAT? Yes, you read that correctly! I have some pretty radsicle 8-Bit Mario decals from ThinkGeek, and if permission is granted from building management, I’m going to paint a few of the entry walls sky blue and splatter the decals all over ’em. Because…y’know, the sky and shit.
I’ve ordered a few things that haven’t quite arrived yet, but FAWK IT I’ll show you stock pictures BECAUSE I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THEM.
Awwww yeah. I cannot WAIT to flop this bad boy in front of my apartment door. AND IF ANYONE STEALS IT I WILL HUNT THEM DOWN AND STRING THEM UP BY THEIR TOE HAIRS. AND IF THEY DON’T HAVE TOE HAIRS I’LL STRING THEM UP BY THE HAIRS THAT GROW IN THE AREA WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE. Consider that a warning, neighbors.
My Zelda bathroom is still a work-in-progress and needs more Zelda-y things about it, so I ordered these potion bottles for a shelf that’s above the toilet.
Adding to the list of things Zelda-y is this adult wallet replica! I bought those Rupee soaps, so I’ll lean them against this bag of awesome for an even awesomer scene of awesome. And who knows? Maybe someday I’ll be feeling froggy and will replace my purse with it. I will also carry around lollipops (oh, that doesn’t sound creepy at all) and will give them to every person who recognizes the bag as a reward for being awesome.
So, erm, in case you can’t tell I’m pretty much addicted to Etsy. I’d say it’s safe to expect few more posts of Etsy-purchasery in the near future!
Have you ordered anything off of Etsy before? WHAT WAS IT I WANT TO SEE.
As a general rule, I rarely buy stuff for decoration, everything must have an actual use. But this stuff makes me jealous.
PSSSH. USAGE? Josh, why are you so logical?!
I was a philosophy major :P

Check out some actual use 8 bit items ! thanks !
Just wait til you get engaged….Etsy will be even more addicting. Holy poop
Oh man. I can only imagine. ACK!
THE FRIEND ZONE IS NEVER FUNNY!!!! ::strangled sob:: er…I mean, oh, ha, ha, such a funny you made.
Hahhahahaha, yeah, it’s a bad place to be in!
You know, you could probably put the friend zone sign over your bedroom door. You know, for the guys you’re with whom you are friends and not going to be intimate. But your apartment sounds like it is going to be a nexus of awesomeness which will probably result in BtVS-style paranormal activity in your area. I am now considering buying the adult wallet and wasting a lot of money on more nerd stuff. Cause I spent my last deployment’s money commissioning to have a personal sword made.
Here it is, since no one asked. http://www.fableblades.com/Atrox.html
OH MY GOD. That sword is the most kickass-est thing EVER! Dude. Money well spent (and well earned!)
Come. Buy the wallet. We’ll be wallet buddies.
Wallet buddies ftw! Also, if you ever become a go-jillionaire you can contact the dude, draw your own design, and he’ll totally make it. Mine was about 2200. He’s great at working with you on details and stuff. I felt like it’d be a bad ass heirloom to hand down to future generations. Also, it’d kill Zombies like nobody’s business.
I LURV Etsy!! I start looking at things and hours and hours go by and I almost everything I search I want. If I ever actually buy something from Etsy I don’t think I’d stop…nope, I wouldn’t – better not start.
DO NOT START. You will become poor in 21 minutes.
Oh I believe it. I shall just browse and dream about all these wonderful things I can’t have…and then try to mediocrely make them for myself and fail .___.
