I Haz a Sad

[kriadydragon]

Borders is closing! Whyyyyy! :( I'm so ticked by this. Border Books and Music was my happy place. I'm not big into going places but whenever the mood to go somewhere does strike, it's Borders I go to - books, movies, music, cute odds and ends; what more could I ask for? Even if I don't buy anything, just to see books on the shelf always stirs up my motivation to write. I had hoped that, one day, I would walk into Borders and see one of my books.

And now, they're closing :(

I know there's Barnes and Nobles but... they're not Borders. They only have books :( Plus who knows how much longer they'll stay open :P

I think what really ticks me off about this, though, is that it brings me one step closer to having to buy books online whether I want to or not. As helpful as it is when there's a book I want that I can't find at the store or library, I still like having the option of being able to go to a store to buy my books and not have to use the credit card. We're trying to bring credit card payments down, dang it! And I hate using a credit card online since it feels like a matter of when, not if, someone will manage to steal our information.

First my favorite radio station, now my favorite bookstore. :( All I need now is for my radio to succeed in eating my favorite cassette tape, and my unhappy will be complete :P

ETA: Yep, the list just keeps growing. Our oldest dog is unable to get up, her back legs completely useless. We think it may be time to put her down. :(

I LOVE Borders. As you said it has/had everything from books, to dvds to music. Most of it was a bit pricey, but that had some really in depth music and odd movie selections. Their graphic novel selection was awesome

Not all of them are closing, but it sucks the one near you is :(

Oh, no about you doggie. I'm so sorry, you want to help them so much and sometimes you can't.

HUGS

Books, movies and music are my love, making Borders the best store ever. I don't always like going to places and dealing with people, but Borders was a sort of comfort zone for me when I did want to go somewhere. I really hate it that it's closing.

Jewel's live a pretty long time, longer than expected, in fact. But even though we knew this time would come what with her back legs going, it still sucks :(.
