Frivolous Anticipation

Most of us know that feeling of anticipation that’s comparable to waiting for Santa to hurry his fat-ass up and deliver your presents.  Of course this specific form of anticipation is the one felt when something is ordered online.  More specifically pre-ordered.

Waiting for the release day is the first stage of anticipation, but then the awareness that the product is released and available to consumers hits the consciousness.  Now the online pre-order seems foolish, because the product could be purchased now. Then the anticipation of the shipping confirmation sneaks into the forefront of the mind.  Followed closely by the delivery confirmation e-mail that gets received right away thanks to modern day cell-phone technology.  After that, the only desire is to return home and get the damn product.

Seriously.  Oct. 27th is Atelier Annie’s release date for the Nintendo DS.  I pre-ordered it months ago, and now the anticipation of the release date is weighing heavy on me.

God, I’m such a nerd.
