The Twelve Stages of Not Getting a Wii.
Stage One: Sadness.
"But...But I wanted one so badly, I was so happy to get one today... Zelda!!Zeeelda!!!
Stage Two: Denial.
There has to be one left. The employees are hiding them. Maybe if I look in the back room. Yeah, that's right, I bet that guy who works the TV section is totally stashing them.
Stage Three: Anger.
What?! I've been checking every week and this happens!!! Why are there only 20?!! Stupid Nintendo.
Stage Four: Disdain.
Why should they get one and not me. Psh, I probably wanted one before they knew what a Wii was. Heck, I wanted it when it was called the Revolution. I should throw rocks at them.
Stage Five: Ebay
Let's see, that's $500 plus shipping and handling. That's not too bad.
Stage Six: Forum/blog posting
Does anyone feel my pain?
Stage Seven: Reversion into solitude (i.e. a dark corner in the fetal position)
Stage Eight: Fear.
Wait, what happens if I never get one? What if they run out forever? Surely, the world is a dark place without Nintendo's whim.
Stage Nine: Whining
But...I really need to Wii.
Stage Ten: Admirance
I can't physically touch it, but it looks so cool and pretty. Oooo.
Stage Eleven: Acceptance.
Hey, it's not so bad. Eventually they'll get new shipments, right?
Stage Twelve: Hope.
They last shipped in December, so that means I should have one in February or March. A month and a half isn't that long. I can wait.
