    What do you do?

    I ordered my kilt Monday. To pass the time, Iv looked a different hose that might look good. Looked in my closet for shirts that might go well.
    I know that Im addicted, thats not the issue. What do you to with yourself, while youre waitin for you kilt?

    Count flowers on the wall (as long as it doesn't bother you), play solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51...that kind of thing. Or just smoke cigarettes and watch Captain Kangaroo.

    Allow me to help. Real music is classic music, eg "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars". It also includes most rock, metal, punk, and blues/rockabilly. I hope that clarifies things a bit.

    As for your original question, I get lost in a great novel - one that sweeps me away to Romantic adventure/excitement, like "The Mysteries of Udolpho", or one that has me continually asking myself "What in the hell is going on here!?", like "The Sound and the Fury" or "Wuthering Heights". Tempus fugit.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I understand looking for accessories and think that works great but if you are into that type of thing reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series should hold you over for a while

    Re: What do you do?

    Pass the time by surfing the Internet for accessories...searching on this board for the quality reputation of vendors you're thinking of dealing with, then ordering your accessories a few at a time so that they arrive periodically and help medicate the jones of waiting for the kilt.

    Works for me anyway....

    There's another kind of jones too....when you don't have a kilt or an accessorie on order....there's a craving to buy "something."
