I want to, but I doubt it really. I find it way too busy to actually shop in town on Black Friday. Everyone is so loud and starts pushing and shoving.

I usually do my Black Friday shopping online, I think I still miss out on some deals but it's good that I can still buy things from home.

What about you Kitty?

The very idea of going shopping in a physical store on Black Friday makes me super anxious. It'd be like regular shopping(which already overstimulates me sometimes) times a thousand, which I feel would at least overstimulate me, if not cause a meltdown.

I'm going to buy some stuff online if it's on sale then. I doubt we'd go to any stores for sales.

I don't think I'll get to because we are broke.

Yeah, I think it's mostly because we are in the process of moving. It sucks.

No. I don't like crowds. The thought of getting trampled underfoot scares me.

No. That's one of my ideas of what Hell might be like.

Things I would rather do than go shopping on Black Friday:

Jab myself repeatedly in the thigh with a cocktail fork.

Shave my head with a dull paring knife.

Undergo root canal surgery, sans anesthetic.

Spend an hour locked in a small room with an insurance salesman hopped up on expresso.

I'm between jobs with a new job starting after Thanksgiving and I just downsized to look for a modest studio apartment. I love to shop for techy stuff at Best Buy, but the timing is bad.

I may browse for Cyber Monday.

I already did my holiday shopping. I bought $60 of Sees Chocolate, now that they have a temporary Kiosk at the local mall. And a bunch of sewing supplies so I don't need to venture out in the cold this holiday weekend! The shops were pretty quiet yesterday.

Who really wants to get trampled when they could just wait a day?
