I hate these d@mn pins!!!!

[eeyorefanatic]

I just completed my first solo trip and some people suggested i pick up some clearance pins just to strike up conversation with CM's ( I am a little shy). Well it took me 3 days to trade a single pin (actually the CM came over to me and asked me if I wanted to trade I wound up with topiary Mickey cause I thought it was from the flower and garden show at Epcot my favorite). Now I am adicted. I (alond with everyone else it seems) need one of those stupid grumpy head pins and am working on peter pan pinocchio and dumbo. I also got alot of comments on a blue fairy pin I got for being in the DL parade.

Any way I spent close to $100 on this new endevor and I am hooked. My dBF is going to kill me. Now only did I spend several hundred dollard on pushing my eeyore collection to over 700 items I have a new addiction. D@mn you pin people! (jk)

Shall we rename you Seven-of-Nine? (Star Trek reference)

but I guess it would be more like One-of-a-Whole-Great-Bunch!

Welcome to the Darkside ( Star Wars reference)!!

There is no turning back - abandon all hope - and just open your wallet - max those CCs and prepare to empty that savings account.


On the other hand - you will get to meet some of the best folk around.

Don't lie to her!!! There is a 12 step program.

BUY PINS!!!!!!!
TRADE PINS!!!!!!!!

 

[eeyorefanatic]

1. Buy cheap lanyard at walmart and .50 2000 hand in hand pins from Chrachter outlet.
2. Quickly look at pins as you walk by a cm but try to look like your not looking
3. Notice yourself staring at peoples chests and feel ashamed and quikly avert eyes
4. Notice yourself openenly staring at chests and not faces, feel no guilt
5. Stumble onto Topiary Mickey by dumb luck and think, hey that was easy.
6. Pick one charachter to start looking for - Dopey
7. Find Dopey and think hey wouldn't it be cool if I had the other 7 (counting snow white)
8. Find 5 of 6 decide to blow the $35 on ebay for grumpy to complete the SET
9. Upgrade to a REAL lanyard and remove some pins so you don't look too full
10. Buy all 7 of the current rack pins because you get a framing idea.
11. Decide to add on a second movie- Pinnochio since you have been told you have a rare guest participation pin from DL, but digress into Peter Pan and Dumbo, now kick yourself for not getting Mothers day Dumbo pin.
12. Spend last day and a half trying to trade your crappy pins (which you liked just fine 2 days ago) for better ones.

Now I just need some funky trading clip art to make it official.
