You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I was out late with my bff and her gf and some gay boys last night, checking out a new bar (sadly, no ladies). Got home around 2AM, so I feel getting up at 11AM is not ridiculous. Roomie is feeling very Hoosier and watching the Indy 500. Later I have sewing class.

I would like to dress some sort of Lara Croft meets old school JCrew, or something.

I would like to dress like Ruth Hussey in The Philadelphia Story, but in real life I mostly just try not to be too Suburban Matron.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Flea, I think of you as dressed like Katherine Hepburn.

My problem is that I tend to forget my face and hair so I dress fairly nicely, with really messy hair a sweated out make-up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My wardrobe mostly consists of things I could climb a ladder in. I would like to branch out a bit.

I'm starting to realize that I probably need summer clothes since I won't be in MI wearing a camp uniform for the first time in many, many years.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

For the me that only lives in my head, I'd like my style to be a mixture of Cher and Morticia and old-school silent film vixens. In reality, my wardrobe is mostly bright-colored resort wear and super-sloungy stuff. Which also suits me. That now strikes me as kind of odd.

Ooooh. I approve. Lots.

I kind of want to wear one of my b&w blazers today, but since I'm going thrift shopping with Dad, it's probably a bad plan.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm in the middle of or need of a style re-adjustment right now. Not sure which.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having a bit of an image problem at the moment, too. It stems from the hair, kinda. When I have punked out hair, which is most of the time, then the cargo pants and Doc Martens and band t-shirts look kinda makes some sort of cohesive sense, and people are mostly so startled by the hair I don't think they're thinking about the rest of the style much. But now, with longer hair and nail polish and makeup, and lots of donated Life is Good tshirts, well, the clothing now just looks careless.

But when I think about what else I could try to wear, and what I would need to buy to fit in back in midwestern suburbia, it's kinda daunting. I don't think I could do it, and I'm not convinced I want to. But I also don't want to look so...unconcerned.

I have fewer teenagers, so I've been putting less effort into looking rocker, and also I'm aging. The last time I really looked like I fit in was when I went to Phoenix and hung out with my 25 year old former student, both of us all in black in 90 degree weather.
