It is possible I just impulse purchased these boots on my lunch hour. I started out looking for some wine-colored boots to replace the already-trashed platform boots I got at the thrift store for nine dollars. I wanted real leather so they would hold up instead of cracking the way the thrift store boots have (before I even bought them; you get ( Read more... )

I know no one else that is as obsessed with boots as me. It's a bond between us that probably means we are twins separated at birth. ::nods sagely:: The Harley boots are awesome, but what will you wear them with? (I'm an "outfit" sort of person...but you figured that out ( ... )

Boots! Made of my skin! Oh, it's a dream come true. I hope they're a stylish (and utterly impractical) red.

Until the day comes when crazy out of town guy kills me for my supple, pale skin, I will wear my new Harley Davidson boots with everything! Jeans, my velvet pants, maybe even dresses, depending on how tall they are. I am wildly inappropriate in my fashion choices on a regular basis, and my coworkers are all so fashion-inept that they think I am some sort of trendsetter. It's the most fun.

I loveloveLOVE smudge-y eye pencils. It's a sickness. I am wearing so much black shit on my eyes today and it's SO daytime inappropriate. I said as much this morning and my coworkers were all, "You look great! You always look great." Because none of them wear makeup and know nothing about it, see. It's hilarious.

I know, poor Jake. He's such a mess. His father spoiled him and it's going to be hard for him to bounce back from this loss, I'm sure.

I just snorted coffee all over my key board. I hope you're proud.

Indeed! I will count it as my biggest accomplishment of the week.

Oooh AWESOME new boots! I would also say, cool you have a writing group but eek at the weird people in it -- and why has the leader not written a word yet? That sounds odd to me.

YAY on work toward the original novel as well as the big bang!

Yeah, the writing group seems to be stocked with weirdos. No surprise, really! I have been scoping out the local romance writers' group on Facebook and they look like they might be kind of weirdos too. I'm starting to think maybe my LJ 'writers' group' is where it's at. At least I trust your opinions, you know?

writingpathways February 24 2010, 02:10:13 UTC

Maybe the Facebook group just sounds weird online?

I wish you and everyone I talk writing with online lived here dang it. we could have or own non-weird writing group.

I know I trust your opinions, and really that's important when asking for a constructive critique.

Oooh, those are awesome boots.

Ah yes, make-up. When I go shopping, it's so hard for me to not get something new. :'3

carolinecrane February 24 2010, 02:05:30 UTC

I can't wait to get the boots! They shipped already. It's crazy.

I love makeup. And I don't even do the fancy stuff you do; I am too old to wear such gorgeous, dramatic looks. But I have a good time with the stuff I do have.

#$&%*#@#$%

Harley Boots? I'm not too damned jealous. They are gorgeous and you are not too old to wear them. If your 72 year old grandmother could wear cowboy boot clogs, you (and I when I get the $) can wear Harley boots.

"Agatha Christie novel done by Monte Python! " - Too damned funny. What a great description. I'm showing my age, but I see a tv series similar to The Vicar of Dibley. You write the best descriptions of things. Makes me want to say, keep it up, I want to know what these weird people do! Then the elder in me speaks up and says, drop it. (Don't listen to her, she knows nothing).

carolinecrane February 24 2010, 17:35:25 UTC

But they're on sale! Only $100, and they didn't charge for tax *or* shipping. Plus overnight delivery. It was too good a deal to pass up.

I never would have considered Agatha Christie, so clearly it was not me coming up with that description. It's perfect, though, I must say. I'd watch that show.

turtlespirit February 24 2010, 03:21:09 UTC

I didn't mean to imply you had written the Monte Python comment, my compliments to your friend who did.

rabidfan February 24 2010, 04:41:10 UTC

Thank you! (And I must agree...Caroline is witty and clever. A born writer. Did she get that from you?)

turtlespirit February 24 2010, 13:15:14 UTC

No, I take no credit for that. She gets that from her grandfather, my dad. He should have been a writer and had a wit to compete with Andy Rooney. She is merely carrying on his tradition and taking it to new heights!
