Don't buy drugs, become a rock star and people will give you them

My latest insomniac adventure. I was lying in bed last night, knowing I had to get up for work in the morning. I was contemplating 70's drug parties. My mum tells me she went to crazy debauched parties on yachts and things and never drank or 'drugged' as she put it. I asked her why not? Lots of intelligent, creative people like to add to their experiences with chemicals.. I don't have that many psychadelic adventures, but only because a)I'm usually broke and b)I'm not a rock star yet. But anyway. She told me that one of her friends had a bad trip. This friend decided she was a pizza, and freaked out because she thought people were trying to eat her. Someone else decided they were a lemon, and they freaked out because they thought they would get squeezed to death. So instead, they jumped out of a window... maybe its a good idea to keep your windows locked in case you accidently take LSD and believe you are a food item.
I just know this would happen to me. I am so obsessed with food. As Winnie the Pooh said, "the most pleasant thing to do after lunch is to lie down and dream of dinner". So anyway, this was a funny contemplation, and I still couldn't sleep. So I turned on my computer and went to look at ebay. Silly.
$30, thats pretty good for a violin... sort of. As the chief executive of Lark explained to the Sydney Morning Herald:
"China is developing, and to make a sophisticated product like a good violin is still hard for us," says Zhou Youjian, chief executive of Shanghai Lark Golden Bell Music Instruments. "But it's easy to make something that looks like a violin, especially with labour so cheap," he says, pottering about in a whitewashed, sawdust-sprinkled workshop on the outskirts of Shanghai.

I thought "buggered if I'm paying $30 for something that looks like a violin but" so, being both cheap and cowardly, I cancelled the bid, making KSTA8889 a happy person, until he or she gets his or her crappy violin-shaped item.
