Annual Co-Dependence Day Post
Jul. 4th, 2017 11:10 pmWhen I was on Livejournal, I seemed to post about the 4th of July every year. Every year, I would talk about how fireworks were so romantic, and how I just wanted to share the day/night with someone. I tried to share it with her, over the last 6 years (or 5, however many there were). It was never that great. She wasn't into it, and I don't blame her. Whole thing is stupid. I guess she ruined it for me.
This year, I'm not thinking about loneliness or how romantic fireworks are. I'm just thinking how annoying they are, how they frighten people with PTSD, babies, wildlife, domestic non-humans, how they keep me awake, how I am forced to have my windows closed and my a/c running (which doesn't actually seem to work--it's hotter in here than outside!)...
How terribly American, to celebrate by being totally inconsiderate, noisy, stupid, and blowing stuff up. What a fine tradition we pass down.
Never put all your faith and money into a relationship. Even Elaine and Guybrush broke up before Monkey Island 2 started. And then Disney ripped Monkey Island off for the Pirates of the Carribbean ride/films. All this began with fireworks. Nothing there but trouble.

Who was the last person you texted?
I hope the font isn't screwed up this time. It was either my brother or DeAna/Annette.
How can you prove your love to someone?
OMG... Every time I turn off bold, it unbolds everything. Why can't they make this work the way you'd expect it to? Anyway, you prove your love by being there, dependable as a goddamn boring stone, until they get sick of you and leave you. No greater love than that. As soon as they see you're human, even if it takes 6 years, they will leave, and then you question everything about yourself and the universe. That's how you prove your love. You can never prove love anyway. We're all as fickle as the leaves on trees, changing our colors and dropping in the slightest gust of wind.
What sports do you play?
I don't sport.
Who is the first person in your contacts?
Oh, this must be from when people spent time on their computers instead of their phones, and you could arrange your chat contact list?
( I don't expect anyone will read this, much less do it, but I had fun )

Avoiding the action man pose

Outfit of the day
Jun. 27th, 2017 09:45 am"I'm looking California but feeling Minnesota" -Chris Cornell, "Outshined"
I'm really happy with these shorts, Finnistre or something. They're apparently a British brand but made in Portugal. I sometimes worry Portugal is the sweatshop of Europe, but the price would indicate otherwise. I got them on clearance, thinking it was the normal, reasonable price, and then I saw they are actually way more expensive. Cool. They are long enough that they sometimes even cover my embarrassing knees. And they are kind of dressy and kind of stretchy. Do Not Tumble Dry. Fancy.
I wore my surf shirt today from Wellen Surf Co and a pink American Giant San Francisco shirt (I wanted to make the Cali kids feel comfy)
Went for brown shoes (San Antonio Shoemakers) and brown belt (RPMWest, RIP), blue purple and grey socks because I don't have much variety to choose from in short socks (Pact fair trade organic cotton socks grown/made in India) and don't know where to get any more

Outfit of the day
Jun. 21st, 2017 12:11 pm
I chose my color palette based on this thingy from the internet. I don't know if it worked!
Classic shoe on sink pose. I don't think my shoes/socks match the outfit. I swapped shoes because it was raining, and I didn't want to get my brown shoes wet (although I don't know if brown would have matched, and the socks probably still would not have matched?).
I colored my shoes with a highlighter. No more Packers colors! Got sick of people thinking I liked football when I don't.

Outfit of the day
Jun. 20th, 2017 10:05 amWhen I was a kid, we got embarrassed if our knees ever showed in our shorts. My how styles have changed. Now I'm just happy to keep my inner-thighs covered.
Flint and Tinder made in Texas Oxford, American Giant t-shirt, Flint and Tinder shorts
I think my shorts match, but they don't really "go" with the outfit. Looked better on the hanger! I think maybe a darker top would have worked better, or lighter bottom. Hm.
Socks? Yeah, don't think they match. I don't have many short socks to choose from.
I hope someday I get used to shorts that only go to the top of my knees. Any longer is now fashion murder, according to the kids, almost as bad as wearing black with brown! (I still don't get that one.) Maybe once my knees get a little more sun it'll be okay. I am such a strangely-colored person.

Jun. 20th, 2017 12:44 amI can't sleep. Too much staying up late on the weekend. :(
I have to leave the house in 7 hours. I suppose I'll be lucky to sleep 6. It will suck tomorrow, but it seems like it always sucks a lot more the day after, and by Friday, I'm a wreck. Then I spend all weekend exhausted, avoiding doing anything or seeing anyone, and I the cycle repeats
Oh well.
It seems like I need more sleep than other people.
