Fashion Police
May. 8th, 2003 04:24 am Alas I think its all too clear from the timestamps on my lj posts that sleep is an activity the enjoyment of which is completely denied me. Damn I WISH I had insomnia. How the stereotypical college student has copious amounts of free time during which they watch mindless TV and/or play video games is completely beyond me. I have not enough time to adequately do all my homework OR sleep.
Today I moderated the IRSA Forum on the future of the UN. I'm not even a member of IRSA (The Internat'l Relations Student Assn); they just come to me when they need a moderator, because I am the epitome of professional neutrality and centrism.
In other news I have been nominated, at no instigation of my own, for I think every leadership position in any club available right now.
Okay well not really but I've been nominated for every position available in Model UN, and without even being present I was apparently nominated for chairman of another organization I'm not a member of. Silly.
In English class today we "workshopped" several extremely crapcious stories. This one girl obviously has no writing future in anything other than grocery-store romance-novels. I have distinguished myself with the trademark "uh technical note here," pointing out such details as "Lions are nocturnal," "you say here it's spring, but twenty years ago on that day it was 'a few days before christmas,' unless you are going to specify that they have since moved to the southern hemisphere..." and "uh, Greg's birthday occurs on two different days here." Giving to me a copy of her paper, one of the girls set to be workshopped next round looked at me imploringly and said "please don't be tooo mean." Muahahahahaha I shall destroy them all!
Speaking of foolish people who's existence bothers me, todays feature:
TWO THINGS THAT ARE VERY OVERRATED - (Kris' expert fashion advice!)
Those watches with bands that are wider than the watch itself. Yea you know what I'm talking about. They couldn be more overrated. If one person got the idea and did it that would be interesting.. but all of a sudden everyone is doing it. The value of the design is merely in how different it is: NOT because it looks nice - because really, it does not. I demand the increasing proliferation of these abominations cease at once!
Ties for belts. Once again: cute and creative if it were to occur only extremely rarely. It has become apparent to me that numerous among the female denomination have decided this is fashionable, in fact I wouldn't be suprised if they had been told that by one of their canon fashion magazines, such seems to be their consensus on the subject. On any account the trend is now clearly visible and has therefore lost most of any cute originality it may have once had. Some people can still pull it off, others, namely sorority girls, really cannot.

But those damn watched ::shakes fist:: From the very first time I saw one I knew it was trouble. Its like those cars the PT Cruisers, I mean you can't get around the fact that they look god-aweful, but they were very novel at first in their unusual look. The first of these ultra-wide banded watches I saw I was like "wow, thats really interesting. If I see two of them I'm going to retch."

archetypal cheerleaders don't say "basically," "ASAP," and "weak sauce" in every sentence. Psh. Anyway aside from my bestest buddy Kristy, my good good friends Carissa and Lacy Crusius are both fortotally cheerleaders.

and it used to be cute.. but then it became "cool" apparently and everyone was doing it now.. now it's definitely overrated. At least in California.

well, whenever you get back, call up my ass and we can swap stories. I went to stonehenge and have lotsa pics. then we can find a pub and have bangers and mash.
Re: hey. I like those watches.
Date: 2003-05-10 01:23 pm (UTC)There actually *IS* a pub in Mission Viejo that I know of.. attached to Denny's-off-El-Toro is "The Pub," which as I recall is suprisingly pub-like.
Mmmm guinness.
My birthday party is sooo next weekend. I am so stockpiling guinness for it. We thought about actually getting a keg of guinness, just for novelty's sake, expensive though it would be.. but then we decided that THIS party is going to be so awesome anyway that we'll do it next year when we really need a gimmick of some kind to rival thiis one. Hmm did I say that already? I feel like I did.. somewhere.
I think anyone from Oh See who made the trip up here for my birthday party would like
NOT be disappointed. (= Two live bands.. y'all know ye love it.
