Freak update

rikibethSo, because of the round mocking I got from all of you a few posts back, and because I did not have TIME to iron a bandana at 5 AM yesterday, I went to work with a crumpled-from-the-dryer lavender bandana tied around my head. It was either go unironed, or wear the mean skulls (which I am trying to save for days I KNOW will be bad) or the dorky Stars and Stripes. So unironed lavender (the first I grabbed) it was.
IT WAS CRUMPLED AND IT DIDN'T TIE RIGHT AND IT SUCKED AND I HATED IT.
When I got home, I ironed all my OTHER clean bandanas after dinner.
I just wanted you to know that.
:-P

Date: 2004-10-09 01:31 pm (UTC)When I say mean skulls, I mean it.
Date: 2004-10-09 01:42 pm (UTC)These skulls are in three-quarter profile, have pupils in their eyesockets, and what seems to me to be a manic and sadistic grin.
Mean skulls.
Hey, for $1, you take what you can get.

Date: 2004-10-09 01:52 pm (UTC)I wear shirts-with-a-collar for work, sportshirts or dress shirts without a necktie, I refuse to wear synthetics. Thus, I get to iron a cotton shirt every freakin' night because I'm too lame to set aside enough time to do them all at once. Plackets are the annoying part, 'cause they always wrinkle hard, and are right there front and center when I'm wearing the shirt.
Maybe I should switch over to jeans, t-shirt and skull-covered bandanas. I'd lose the professional image, but perhaps gain back some of my street cred... :-)

Otherwise, you'd be too darned talented and sweet to tolerate without insane jealousy.

Date: 2004-10-09 02:14 pm (UTC)I was mostly being very silly about it. Laughing at myself for being a freak.
Do you want us to come get you for any of the events tonight, for spoon conservation purposes?

Date: 2004-10-09 02:37 pm (UTC)As far as tonight, there is just one problem.
I HAVE LESS THAN ONE WEEK TO FINISH MY TAXES! NO EXTENSIONS LEFT! ACK!
I think that I need to buckle down and finish the damn taxes. The worst part is that I am pretty sure I'm due a refund, and I've been letting the government hang onto that money and the associated interest because I'm a paperwork fuck-up. Sigh...
Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-09 08:08 pm (UTC)Wess and I also came up with "Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Gay", in which Alexander (a little older now) is dealing very badly with being dumped by his first boyfriend. You don't want to know about some of the other versions of children's books we thought up in the same conversation.
Icon stolen, BTW. Oh, and even more BTW, you are now a posting member of

Date: 2004-10-09 09:56 pm (UTC)Leg warmers are back.
I wonder if we're going to get the rest of the 80's fashion returning as well...
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 06:11 am (UTC)I always thought I looked damn good in those.
The rest of it? Well, if I can avoid neon... *shudder*
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 03:17 pm (UTC)Actually, I've got a pair, but they're probably too big for you.
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 03:33 pm (UTC)You might be thinking of the ripped 501s with the fishnets worn under. Fashion follies of my youth... I still kind of like that effect. Will it come back?
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 05:57 pm (UTC)And the fact that it turns up in my long-term memory, and the fact that I'm a little hazy about the ankles, should be evidence that i mean it when I say "Yes, you did." ;-)
You wanna talk about fashion follies? I've got a picture of one of the looks I had at Bennington - guaranteed to give George Will flashbacks to the acid he never took.
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 07:25 am (UTC)And hey -- maybe this means that flare pants and midrif-baring tops will finally go back to the nothingness that is prepared for them.
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 03:18 pm (UTC)I always loved that look. Which pretty well guarantees that it's gone for good.
Re: Aleksander Roshenko and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day
Date: 2004-10-10 03:16 pm (UTC)More importantly, please don't tell me that the Flashdance ripped-sweatshirt thing is comeing back with them.
