I posted a link to a pic of the match trick on my journal page...it's on the day that I was talking about it and you commented on it. Check it out if you want. Be careful with that credit card....it could be the beginning of the end. (A happy one at least, though.)
Nah, they didn't give me THAT much credit. they're not insane.
I really did spend a little bit too much time in the "comics you can't afford" section at Austin Books today. I looked lovingly at the wall at previously unobtainable rarities. I think I had a tear in my eye. The kind salesman asked if I needed any help. It took all my power to gasp out "No, thanks."
Ya know, commenting on my own journal entry feels pretty damn self-absorbed. Oh well, it suits me.
I'm in a similar credit situation.
Don't be at all surprised about getting that notice in the mail; basically, these banks troll for customers with bad credit, so when they (the customers) fuck up and miss a payment or whatever, the banks can screw exorbitant penalty fees out of them. I'm not saying don't take the card, but pay your bills on time. And try not to carry a balance.
Also, expect to get about a dozen junk mail credit card offers a day from now on. Blecch!
On a lighter note: Austin Books is the most incredibly fuckin' cool comic shop I've ever seen! I've prolly dropped about 500 dollars there over the past year-and-a-half. (Well, maybe not 500, but A LOT.)
