I don't plan to leave my home on Black Friday unless the Indian restaurant is open for their lunch buffet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My body is freaking out. It's doing all sorts of randomly strange stuff. One arm looks like I've been cutting, but badly. I woke up one morning, and there were random streaks of blisters just below my wrist. Now they're darkening and reddening. I have no idea where they came from, if I'm having an allergic reaction to anything. And it's way too big an area to bandaid over to prevent chafing. What the hell is wrong with me?

I was kicking around Best Buy today waiting for K-Bug to get off work and there were already 2 people lined up for the Black Friday sales. I just....no. Not happening.
KCD and his wife are going to try to go get CJ a new laptop on sale. I wish them the best of luck and don't want to hear how it went until after noon on Friday.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
The pie is in the oven. I am finally off my feet.
There is no price-saving worth it to me to spend hours in line the day after Thanksgiving. Bah.

There is no way in hell I go out on Black Friday. I mean, i have no money anyway -- is there REALLY going to be a fabulous enough sale for my teeny gifts anyway? Nope.
I am going to spend it in my PJ's, eating leftovers.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the concept of black friday is bizarre - esp after working in retail for so many years. The best deals often have limited numbers. of available products. and prices fall if sales are off - chains can react pretty quickly. and it is not the biggest shopping day of the year $$wise. That happens a week or so before xmas. So when a retailer says we have o open early to get that customer dollar - I think not. and longer hours -- Well if most store were open 10 - 10 tues - sat ; I think the same number of dollars would be spent
but really - i didn't spend much time thinking about this

I'd rather keep my sanity and pay the normal price than get in line hours before a store opens and have to fight my way through to pick up a sale price.
I know some people who like the challenge of Black Friday shopping but it just isn't for me.

No sleep for me, it seems. It it were tomorrow, I could be standing in line! OK, no.
The only way I could see myself getting up at 4a or whatever is if there were a particular big ticket item that I really, really wanted that from 4a-6a it was on sale for 40%+ off or something. Like a super fancy top of the line flat screen TV that makes coffee, too. Or my first robot. Then I might try to make an adventure out of it.
