After reading Sammy's reply I got to thinking. I used to make fun of Tommy's shoe fetish wether I actually posted it or just thought it. I remember as a kid getting a new pair of shoes was always really cool. I was excited about new shoes when I was little. Why? Idk. I got a new pair every year before school started and another pair throughout the year as I outgrew them. Sure, I never got the "coolest" shoes because my parents didn't have the money. Mom always had a set dollar amount she was willing to spend. Usually it was about 50.00 so I didn't get lame shoes but I didn't get the "cool" ones either. I was so excited about my new shoes I always wanted to wear them out of the store and thinking in my head "Elmo got new shoes!". I can't recall ever wanting to wear any other clothing out of the store. Never wanted to wear undies out the store or jeans. So, I guess I can understand reliving that experience over and over again. I for one, can go without now, as other thing excite me more.
