Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, man, Consuela. I'm not even sure how I'd react to that. I don't want to know.

I was on the way out the door with my new Night Vale mug when I realised--I don't buy shirts with 'ships on them. Why do I have a Carlos and Cecil shirt, then?

Maybe...maybe I didn't buy it? So I checked the packing slip and it's a gift from my sister. Doesn't say much for my faculties that it took me 12 hours to work that out. And she did kinda hint at it...I do kinda suck. Let me go thank her.

In my meagre defense I feel hella grotty this morning. My headache feels like a pincer that's forcing my vision out of focus, I'm hungry and nauseous and just finished my last anti-emetic pill (dropped and almost lost it in my kitchen) and really wanted a sick day.

Thank doG the insomnia fairy decided to take a break last night. Three bad nights in a row were bad enough; I was starting to lose my shit.

I love this gawker article about men's fashion rules. There are some adamant fucks commenting on it (oh, surprise), but I agree with most of them that the main thesis is flawed--the men in the picture aren't wearing sport coats, so HamNo has not illustrated his point. Also their shoes are wrong too.

BUT, and this is a big surprise to me--more than one person states strongly that men shouldn't wear black shoes (or belt) with blue jeans. I had never even heard of that. Is that supposed to extend to extremely rule-following women as well?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, Consuela, This is the kind of taking-care-of-your-parents shit no one needs.

I hope not, as I have black shoes and sneakers, and I'm not gonna wear sneakers with my jeans all the time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

That's news to me, ita. The only rule I have with blue jeans is, don't wear a shirt of the same color.

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

I have no rules whatsoever for blue jeans. Except not taking them off in public.

As in denim, or the same shade in any fabric?

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

I decided to take half a sick day when I started feeling bad at the office, so now I am home watching TV. Yay.

I was blissfully unaware of any shoe/blue jeans rules. Jeans go with everything!

Basically my feeling.
