A new thing.

[spacebug]

I think I need to make clothes that
a)fit well, and
b) that I like
more of a priority in my life. I'm finding more and more that a is necessary for b. I wish this could be made more of a priority without the money and shopping parts. Well, the shopping might be sort of okay. At least my boyfriend likes that part a lot and makes it fun. (We kind of have a gender role-reversal that way...) I just get weird about spending money on clothes because I already *have* clothes. I'd rather save it until I have more money so I can go on a trip or buy some gear or something. But I'm not feeling happy with my clothes lately. They're all black and grey, and I'm (gasp) thinking about more color in my life. And I like having jeans that actually fit well (I have about 1.5 pair that I wear all the time now.) And I want more teeshirts that aren't tents. Stuff like that. This is tricky when I still fancy myself a low maintenance, wash 'n' wear kinda girl. Can't it fit well, be cheap, wash easily, not shrink in the dryer *and* look cute? Aren't we living in the future yet? And while I'm at it, where the hell is my rocket car and/or personal jet pack?

Huh?


Hell, even the used Jetta we want is being pokey about getting itself through the necessary bureaucracy. Apparently, I am living in crazyland.

At least the people are interesting here.

La, la, la...

except for the part about jeans, that whole paragraph could have been written by me.

Yay, it's jodi! I will take that as a good thing. S4 and I were commenting that we don't see you nearly enough these days...

that's true. overacheivers spend all their time doing homework and therefore socialize little. but sometime in a few months when you have had time to implement your ikea shopping and beam swing and i've had a chance to pass all my classes, we'll have a loft-y supergame and then, then we shall all be seen.

Crazy, I was just having the same thought. I decided to get a new wardrobe about 3 or 4 months ago. Alexis gave me some advice. She knows lots about clothes. Clothes that fit well have suddenly become very important to me.

Heh, man, you used to get so mad at me when I would tease you about your gray wardrobe though. :>

I still *like* my grey clothes, I just want other clothes too! And actually, I ended up buying a new pair of jeans tonight.

...and they're grey.

I guess old habits die hard. :)

because gray is a color!
i'm still working on the adding color part. i need grranimals for adults. one of my good friends used to be a personal shopper at marshall fields and instead of paying me for the freelance work that i do for her, she takes me shopping. its a good arrangement.

happy birthday!
