I. My partner in moping-shaped crime, crimsonclad, came up with the genius idea you are now seeing executed at 25_days: we are writing Jared's pov to each other's stories. Reverse-moping, we call it in the biz.

II. What do we think of these boots? I've been looking for some brown boots and have decided that what I want doesn't exist, so how about these? Can I wear

YAY MORE 25 DAYS WHOOOOOOOOOO!!

also, those boots are AWESOME, but have you ever ordered from them before? I only did once, but the boots were *really really* narrow and I had to send them back and I even ordered half a size up. Just for you to keep in mind.

HERE IS A TRUE STATEMENT ABOUT 25 DAYS: WE HASHED OUT JARED'S CHARACTER MOTIVATION ON THE PHONE WHILE I WAS BABYSITTING LAST WEEK

TRUE STORY

I ordered my vmars boots from zappo's and it worked out fine--but that boot had like three pages of comments and reviews that I read. I really wanted them but I only decided to go ahead and order them because everybody said they would stretch and indeed, I had to wear them around the house for a week and a half until I could zip them up all the way. I'm apprehensive because those campers only have one review. However! They tell you the circumference of the boot, so this means that I am going to totally MEASURE MY CALF.

[estrella30]

see, I couldnt even get my foot IN the damn boot, it was so narrow or something. CLEARLY I LOSE AT DRESSING MYSELF.

I am very interested in Jared's motivation here! Is he motivated by anything other than COOKIES? only time will tell!

[helpwess]

stop using shoeporn icons! i will become DISTRACTED.

SECRET: I AM MOTIVATED BY LUNCH.

[helpwess]

bones! is angela/hodgepodge seriously your otp?! I am going to allow them because they are backing way off from last season--when i felt like they were cramming it down our throats--and also because if it takes inventing a relationship with them to hold off on a booth/bones relationship, THAT'S FINE WITH ME!

Seriously, about the boots. They're not too much with the urban space cowboy? HELP ME

[helpwess]

Okay, I can permit that. I want booth and bones to spend like six seasons talking close and touching and being like, "what are you talking about?!" when people imply they have chemistry. Oh, hahahaha yes. I would like that.

TRUE STORY ABOUT ME AND SHOES: I CANT WEAR HEELS BECAUSE OF A BUNION PROBLEM :(

II. I think we like them.
IIa. I think you could.
IIb. Possibly, but Zoe is cool. So, who cares?
IIc. I think you should buy them.
IId. Now.

[helpwess]

You are an enabler!!! I am def. thinking about it. Do you know how long it has been since I've had brown shoes? Seriously! My buying habits over the last, like, 5-10 years have been such that I only have black shoes. I'm nervous about such a commitment. But they are soooooo cute.

[lapses]

I enable because I have experienced first-hand the wonder that is to own brown boots!! I took the plunge last fall when I bought mucho $$$ brown boots for the impending doom that is WINTER. And no regrets! And those would look super cute with skirts. BUY!!

[helpwess]

I THINK I AM PROBABLY GOING TO. Also, those are one less $ than I had budgeted for, so I might also buy a $$ puffy down-filled jacket from lands end. What? I'm old.

[bellanut]

I don't think they're too Zoe Washburn, though they are a little Zoe Washburn WHICH MAKES THEM AWESOME.

And why did it never occur to me that her last name is Washburn before? She's always just Zoe in my head.

I read a spoiler for Veronica Mars, and didn't care at all. Here is my public statement: I am currently the opposite of excited about VM. Dear Rob Thomas, change my mind. No Pie, h.

I did the same thing yesterday! But it was probably a different spoiler. And we can't even confirm or deny that without spoilering each other! Woe. Actually, I don't really care that much. Low expectation = not a lot to live up to = a greater chance of not being let down, right? RIGHT? Remember when we were all proclaiming that RT was god? *HEAVY SIGH*

PS. Jim: Dwight, what's your middle name? Dwight: Danger.

[helpwess]

STEPH, I HAVE BEEN GIGGLING ABOUT JIM AND DWIGHT ALLLLL MORNING. Actually, all weekend. Okay, since last tuesday. I CONFESS. But the nickels in the phone thing, MAN, the way it was delivered, Dwight's complaint, GOLD.

I also found these boots, which are incredible but way too Zoe Washburn In Space for even me. Alas!!

PS: I remember the glory days of Rob Thomas. We were so young, then.

[nme525]

I heard Jim tried to frame Dwight for murder. Is that true?

[missdeviant]

I think Jim is the REAL murderer!!!!

[buffyx]

Remember that story where RT dumped his vegetarian girlfriend in a steakhouse?

On her birthday?

BEST. In a "WORST" kind of way, obvs.

[missdeviant]

HEY I REMEMBER THAT STORY I WROTE THAT STORY!

(or at least had it told to me by a gossipy librarian. I LOVE gossipy librarians!)

[buffyx]

I KNOW! It's stories like those that make having the "rob thomas gossip" listing in my interests all worth it.

[helpwess]

whoa i never heard that story! I KIND OF LOVE IT
