Fonts For Early Birthday Gift?

I've been sitting here with an order ready to be placed at P22 Type Foundry for quite some time now.

As you may remember I joined their Font Club in January which gives me at least twelve of their fonts a year and 20% off of anything I buy from them.

I just got third place in another poker tournament, bringing my account up to slightly over $200. I said I was going to cash out $100 of it when that happened (leaving me enough to keep playing), but I feel kind of silly spending it on fonts.

Here's what I want to buy:

So, silly or not so silly? It's gambling money anyway and I have drooled over these fonts for quite some time. They'd make lovely early birthday gifts, no?

Update: I couldn't resist and purchased the whole lot of them. Now I am very happy indeed!

Nothing silly about font envy.
And that Victorian Font might just make it into my collection too. =)

I have been designing a web page using the Carpenter Font, but I have been quite dissapointed with it because it appears choppy when enlarged. I wouldn't wanto spend that much on a font to find out it wont work for me and P22 won't give out samples. Is there a way you can email me the Cezanne font to give it a try? I would really appreciated. Thank you.
