Okay. Time for everybody to sit down and Shorts will tell you a story.
It was early on a Friday morning. The time? 5ish-AM. Shorts is snuggled in her bed all nice and warm, but inside her head, terrible things were happening.
She was dreaming about the impending VMK event, the now infamous Pin-Trading spectacular!
First she gets her NPC credits as she does every morning, then heads with anticipation to the first shop. Lo and behold, there are about 30 new items for sale in the shop! Everything from necklaces to fancy dresses and the like. Excited, she heads to the next shop to see what else there is. Again, 30 new items, all different from the last shop! She decides not to buy anything until she sees it all so she doesn't waste her credits. She goes through all the shops and at the last shop notices some items have the stamp "no longer for sale" on them. Curious, she goes back to the first shop, only to find half the items "no longer for sale"!!
About that time, a note comes on the screen that says "every day for the next two weeks, the shops will be open for a random hour and a small selection of items will be available for sale. Good luck!"
She screams in a rage-school (her job) is starting back up soon! How will she ever stay on the 15 hours VMK is open every day to get what she wants???
Shorts is rudely awakened from her snuggly comfy slumber with the sad thoughts of not getting any new clothes for herself...and it's only 6am.
The end!
(Yes, I really had this dream/nightmare...and yes, I really was totally distraught when I woke up. I was mad it was too ealy for VMK because I thought it would really happen that way!)

I dreamt in caricatures last night, think Al Hirschfeld-esque in the color schemes of the "Rhapsody in Blue" segment of Fantasia 2000. Pardon my diction everyone...hehe
