Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

When I worked in business attire (suits everyday), I changed when I got home to save on dry cleaning. I didn't do it AS much when I went to business casual. The past few places I've worked have had the dress code of "cover your bits", so I don't change much since my work clothes are jeans and sweaters (or capris and t-shirts).

However, all the talk of fleece Indoor Pants has my thinking about making some for myself. They can't be all THAT hard, can they?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Three HUNDRED posts later, and you're still talking about INSIDE PANTS??!!?!?!!!INTERROBANG???!!?!?!

I stay in my work clothes only if I'm expecting to see someone outside my immediate family in between getting home and bedtime.

Three hundred and eleven, now.

I'm trying really hard to resist going to Target after class to buy the skull inside pants.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now that I have roommates I've been forced to develop an inside wardrobe.

So far, it is t-shirts and shorts. Sometimes when I'm feeling sassy I get my Jilli on and wear the bloomers I made for Halloween with a band shirt (specifically, Brine & Bastards. might as well go for it and wear the striped pirate gear).

I need to buy a robe because wearing a bathtowel between my bedroom and my bathroom in the morning isn't fooling anyone -- since I shower at night. Roommates have not changed my naked sleeping ways. Only REALLY cold weather does and that's when I break out the granny gown. The match.com commercial guy would find me very feast or famine.

No slippers, no socks, no shoes. They all suck.

I have steam heat -- "as nakey as possible" is perfectly reasonable.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts yesterday, y'all.

And Beverly, I want to convey my condolences to you - completely forgot to when I was all tunnel-visioned on my family yesterday morning.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I change when I come home from wherever. My computer room is coooollllddd. And there's cat hair and the fact that I still can't feed myself without dropping something on my shirt.

And, yo, I had one of those sleeping bag thingies and I wore that bitch OUT. It was ugly and really soft and had snaps and when I needed to walk I would shove my feet through the bottom and shuffle along like a paisley hot dog bun. It was awesome.

Right now I'm wearing a calf-length burgundy nightgown made of waffle fleece and POCKETS! It is really unattractive and my favorite winter nighgown. When it's really cold, I pull on peppermint striped flannel PJ bottoms under it that are about 2 sizes too big.

Dude, only my CATS see this shit.

Aims! I can't reply on LJ but I had Turkey Ranch and Swiss yesterday! Freaky!!

Trust my rage

Oh, and I change almost immediately upon walking in the door because the outside-inside world is air conditioned but our house, not so much.
