never let me go on ebay. ever again. ever.

so ryan adams is playing at the hammerstein ballroom on wednesday (halloween) night, and i've been looking for tickets here and there. all i've found thus far is either crazy expensive or nonexistent.
well, in a fit of weakness, i went onto ebay this afternoon and saw two floor tickets for ONLY $97.
so i bid.
and up it went, with some idiot who had, i suppose, put a higher maximum bid on it.
and then it was $102.50, and i said fuck it and went to $105.
dumb.
because now they are mine and i just spent $117 on ryan adams tickets.
and i already have no money.
and i can't really, morally nor ethically, get out of it.

shit.

phone conversation with will after my anxiety attack at realizing i had just won (or lost, depending on how you look at it):
me: hey darling, so how much is seeing ryan adams worth to you?
will: oh man, i'd LOVE to see ryan adams!
me: so like, $60 is fine, right?
will: well, no, not $60 bucks, i mean that's alot, but you know..
me: um, well i might have just won them, so $60 it is!

shit.

this is not to say i don't like ryan adams. i love him and would DIE to see him, but it's just so shocking, i guess.
god ebay, why do you do this to me?!?
