(no subject)

I bought legwarmers because I like 80's retro, because American Apparel is making them and they're fairly cheap (also, I ♥ AA for being the sort of business we need more of), and because they're semi-scene and I am nothing if not a scenewhore.

This of course explains why I have worn them every damn day for the last week and a half.

No, wait! The white shit falling out of the sky explains that!

So I'm off to do some holiday shopping, Metro willing. Basically, Metro's on the radio right now saying "If you live in West Seattle, don't make any fucking plans."

Also, you know what? I really like my body. I thought I'd just throw that out there. It's rare for me to like my body, and today I do. It's not a bad one, even if there are a couple things I'd change. Even though my back is fucking killing me, which means more stretching, more situps, more yoga.

Okay. Having made no fucking plans, I'm gonna go prop up the economy. I wish I could find my headphones, but that's life.

Legwarmers are awesome. Not only are they scene (or so you tell me *cough* Wot is scene, anyway?), but they're very useful to keep the snow out of your boots where it belongs. *nods*

Srly, they saved my feet from freezing in high school. Someone in the school administration thought it'd be a good idea to allow us to wear pants (rather than the pleated uniform skirt) only from December to March. No matter that we have freezing winds and snow from late October to mid-April. /reminisces

I forgot to say "YAY!" for liking your body. *hugs* It makes for a good day. :D

Yes! It was a moment of yay indeed!

Also, I heart your icon. Is it stealable?

Sorry it took so long to reply; I was away from home for the weekend and not comfortable signing into LJ at my family's...

Thanks! And yes, it's stealable. Just credit [livejournal.com profile] chosenxone.

OMG, I get to share my favourite link ever!! Seriously, this is so bad. So not right. So horrible. So, so, so bad. But I love that it exists. Anyway. This is how to be a scene girl; scene, in this case, refers to the Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance bands + My Chemical Romance, primarily. I know there are other bands on other labels in there, but it seems like most of them are FBR. And for the love of god, don't call a scene girl an emo or she will cut you - even though no one else, not even me, can figure out the damn difference.

Or, here's a pic, of Jac Vanek, who I kind of want to punch for no reason.

ANYWAY. Yes! I agree muchly about leg warmers! I cannot believe that anyone, let alone a school administration would be that clueless about weather, frankly, but I do know that leg warmers let me wear skirts (I live in skirts now and have for a couple years, it is Totally Ridiculous) in our six inches of snow and subzero temps without dying, which is nice. *g*
