So today was court day.. I woke up, but I was having a really weird dream that was like a movie, so I kept hitting the snooze so I could see how the movie ended, and finally I sat up (to Jared running up the stairs to give me a kiss) and realized I needed to get down to business. I needed to get dressed for court! I wanted to look cute, but not fussy, but respectable, but mostly cute. I went with my cream sweater and my green wool skirt and my black pumps. Very nice. I had this movie playing in my head that I was going to get to court, and it was going to look like courtrooms do in the movies, all paneled with dark wood, with a judge sitting at the head of the room. (In my head he was not wearing the white curly wig. FYI.) I had this idea that I was going to get yelled at, and Megan's mom had said, "I am extremely surprised that they didn't tow her car on the spot, so I'm sure she'll have to pay at least a $200 fine." Well shit, I'm broke... And I was nervous it would be even more than that. The tags were expired since March of '08. So I'm all about being ready super fast, working Megan towards the door, because I didn't want to be late, and we got there like, 45 minutes early. We were the only people there, so I was like, "Yes! This won't take long at all." Shortly after we sit down, a girl sits down next to us, wearing sweats. Surely, I thought, she wouldn't be going to court wearing a track suit, right? But more and more people started showing up all inappropriately dressed, except for maybe 4 other people. One guy was wearing denim, ripped up overalls. Another wearing cargo pants and a stained shirt. Uggh! Yeah ok, I know court is a hassle and no one wants to be there, but that's no excuse to look like shit. Unacceptable. Anywho, I wound up getting the young male attorney, who I caught looking at my boobies, and he dismissed my case, with nooooooooo fine. Woo! I attribute this to a) It really wasn't that big of a deal, and b) I looked cute, and looked like I cared about being there. And maybe I have a nice rack. Who knows?
Anyway, since I was so appalled at the dress code people let themselves get away with for formal and semi-formal events. I understand that it depends on the audience, who you're there for, who you're with, whatever, but still. No jeans at weddings, funerals, or court. There were a whole bunch of other things that I thought of, but I forget them now.
After court we went to get Megan's mom for lunch, we went to the Olive Garden, and it was actually pretty good. We came home, and I bummed around on the internets watching ANTM, and falling in love with one of the girls' style. She's kind of weird but she wears such god damn cute clothes. I've had a long day...
