Should I do the Friday Five again?

It's almost Friday. Here goes:

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
Generally, no. For one thing, I never have much to spend, and shopping is more fun if you don't have to worry so much about a budget. Also, I just don't like being in stores - especially crowded stores - I can't stand being in someone's way.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?
I just put a book in my Amazon shopping basket, although I didn't actually buy it yet. I have two other items that have been waiting for several days in the shopping basket. Does that count? The one I just added was Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. If that doesn't count because I didn't actually purchase it yet (but I will), then it would be groceries, and that's kind-of boring.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
Online. See #1 above. There are certain stores that I don't go into at all, since I don't enjoy the anxiety I associate with them.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
Occasionally and briefly. When I did get an allowance it wasn't much. I remember $1.10 per week for a while. School lunch was 90 cents, and I didn't get lunch money (my mother wanted me to carry a sack lunch but I wouldn't - this was in high school and it wasn't cool and I had so much stuff to carry that it just got smashed anyway), but I could get a donut at the grocery store across the street for 20 cents, so I either skipped lunch or got a donut and called that lunch. Didn't leave me with much spending money.

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
The last thing? Probably some music I ordered online that just turned out to be weird. I was looking for Norwegian folk music, hopefully with words that I could hear that would help my language skills, and took a chance on a couple of CDs with a compilation of various Scandinavian artists. Just not what I was looking for, although I do pick up more and more words each time I listen to it.
