Potential for Mediocrity

I was going to give you guys a nice post about my soon-to-be Moleskine pocket journal, however, the Barnes and Noble website has decided to send my little mind into a tailspin. The website glitched out, and instead of me paying a quaint $1.87 with the eBay money left in my PayPal account, suddenly I'm left with a credit card charge of $27. I don't even have a credit card. S'wha?

I'm at a loss, as the website says my order will be shipped September 1st, though I've already canceled the order, oh say...five times. The site doesn't say that, and I got an email saying my order was received. Meh.Now, I did email them, but I don't know what that means, and now is not the time to have to deal with website/money/possibly legal? issues. Classes start Monday, I just wanted a bloody Moleskine and early birthday presents for my sister with the use of a 15% off coupon and $25 in free gift cards! Why is this so hard?

They better not bloody charge me either. >:(

EDIT!!!
My order was canceled (hooray!), and so I got to order again, the site glitched AGAIN but I was smart and retried for the third time. And it worked! So here's my soon-to-be haul for only $1.87!Red sealing wax for my penpals...and maybe one day cheesy love letters. Because I'm THAT hopelessly romantic.

Mini fruit scented highlighters, because my little sister loves highlighters for no good reason. She's 7, she doesn't need highlighters. But whatever, she'll love them and I'll be awesome.
Wood-block stamps; they're adorable. And they're also going to my sister because I just needed something to up my total to pay the least amount possible.A froggy notebook! Cute right? It's plastic (really? Why?), but I think my sister will still probably like it.
And what I've been waiting for, a ruled pocket-size Moleskine! I'm not sure how much I'll like the ruled pages, but given my tendency to write extremely un-straight, I think I might have to deal. Still, if I ever accumulate more gift cards, I'll surely buy a blank one anyway. What I really REALLY wanted was the San Francisco map version, it was all fancy, but apparently they don't sell it anymore. They sell Lisbon, but not San Fran? Blasphemy? I think so.

Oh, and since I'm too lazy to find the post, or to google it, but do fountain pens bleed through in Moleskines? Very important, haha.




I really want a rollerball pen...maybe that's what I'll get next time.
