The Perks of Being a Trendsetter
Hello to all my LJ peeps. I hope you're all enjoying life these days.
This has to be quick, but I just wanted to let some of you know that I'm here. Alive. Just terribly busy with no time for such shenanagans as LJ. Not that it's a shenanagan. (I used to work with this guy at my Starbucks back in STL who used that word all the time, but would only say it in the "ladies man" voice. It was incredibly hilarious. In fact, you, at home reading this, try it right now. Ah. See how funny it is?) Au contraire, LJ is a highly important tool of communication through which I am about to communicate my annoyance at certain people/things/situations.
So, here's the dealio: I'm really f-ing tired of seeing MY rainboots all over this frickin' campus. I'm not being facetious. I really did have these rainboots first. I saw them at Target *months* ago and I thought "Wow, how ugly and tasteless these rainboots are! But alas, they will keep my feet warm and dry and are only $8.99. Sold." And as I lugged the rainboots home that fateful day, I was for certain that I would be one of, oh, maybe 4-5 people who would actually be caught dead on such a stylish campus in these ugly-ass boots.
Boy, was I wrong.
Now everytime it rains (or even if it's just cold) I see them on other girls, not once or twice a day, but literally ANYTIME I STEP OUTSIDE TO GO ANYWHERE. They're everywhere. On sorostitutes, on musicians, on hippies. It's like these boots transcend the boundaries of style in a way I've never before seen. But the thing that annoys me the most is that these girls look at ME with these faces like "Honey, I had those boots before you, so stop tryin' to act all cool and shit." I just wanna smack these bitches. They have absolutely NO idea that I was the original trendsetter. And besides, I wasn't even trying to set a trend... which is what makes it so trendy!
You're probably thinking, "Yeah, those are totally cute. I would totally wear them. In fact, how could anyone NOT like these boots???" This is because they've already been integrated into society via 1,000s of college women. Trust me, if you had walked up to them on a sale rack in Target sometime last fall, you would have just kept on walkin'. Two seasons have since passed and somehow they've transformed into the brainchild of a penniless, wet-footed girl in Southern Indiana - off of the sale rack and onto the streets of a college campus near you.
