In Which Our Intrepid Heroine Tries To Make it Look Like She Did Something on Purpose

[beautifulduckweed]

I need more sleep. I typically need about 9 hours a night, but I've been working on an average of 4.5 for the last few months. I'm still able to stay upright and form coherent sentences, more or less, but certain cognitive functions are starting to suffer. This point was driven home last night when it took me a half hour and quite a bit of walking to realize I had TWO DIFFERENT SHOES ON. Now, to be fair, they're both slip-on shoes with approximately the same height heel. But they also look really, really different: one was a red mary jane, and the other was a plain black leather mule.

Even better, I was on my way to Powell's to meet Ravi, a new OKCupid acquaintance.

I WIN.

However, I was wearing my super-colorful Froot-Loops-On-Crack sweater and a velvet skirt, so it probably looked more like some new hipster fuck thing rather than what it actually was, i.e., brain failure on a massive scale. Also, Ravi was every bit as amused by my mismatched shoes as I was, so hooray.

Woooo, hipster fuck things!

Is this Ravi who graduated from Reed a few years back?

Hmm, I don't know if Ravi was a Reedie. I don't think so, because he lived in LA until three years ago, and he's about my age. He's a slim Indian dude with glasses.

And yes, bow down before my hipster fuckitude! I don't just mis-match my socks, I mis-match my shoes! My hard-coreness goes to ELEVEN!

The thing that amused me the most about this entry is your implication that there's some kind of discernible difference between hipster fuck things and colossal brain farts. :)

Holy shit--I think you've managed to offer the first explanation for hipster hair that makes sense to me.

Hey, you wore the fruit loops on crack sweater when you met me at Powell's too! Now if people just remembered that brightly colored things in nature are almost always poisonous . . .

:)

What time are you dropping by tomorrow? My roommates and I will be getting costumed up around 1-ish.

That sweater gets around once the weather is cold if you know what I mean, AND I THINK YOU DO.

Nope. no clue.
