There are days when you are defeated by socks

[kianspo]

It's cold in my flat, and socks keep me warm, and when I opened the drawer I found 7(!) single socks from different pairs. I don't even know what to say to that. Why do socks do that? More importantly, how?

I went to the mall and nearly got squished between the automatic doors because the photoelectric sensor didn't see me. Like, I was right there!

I mean, you put ten socks in the machine and only seven come out, where DO they go?...And I'll tell you another thing, if you take the machine apart they ain't inside it neither.

Not sure if you've seen Stuart. A Life Backwards, but the quote seemed appropriate (and if you have not, it's a must)

[kianspo]

I haven't, but after a quote like that, I'm more than intrigued. ;)

It's an amazing, touching movie with stellar performances by Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch. A tale of unlikely friendship, both relentlessly funny and deeply tragic. It's also the only movie ever to have made me cry. If that's not a recommendation, I don't know what is ;)

[kianspo]

LOL. Okay, you've convinced me, I'll track it down. :D

[kianspo]

But I know this and I keep track of them! I'm extra careful with socks, tracking down pairs and keeping them together and everything! Clearly, I am defeated by a global conspiracy of socks everywhere... >.<

I decided socks are fickle and leave on a whim. It is for that reason I don't match socks and wear the first two I find.

[kianspo]

Yeah, but my socks are really... different. From one another. Because I buy them at random...

Huh. I shouldn't really care, should I?

Here I am. Chatting with you. And I have a box with socks to pair waiting for me. A big box. A very big box. I put there single socks to pair later and after a time I have a mountain. I would swear there´re more unpaired socks that the socks I´ve ever bought. It´s like when you throw out half of the stuff and papers you had on your bedside table drawer and the stuff left don´t fit on the same drawer anymore. :D

[kianspo]

It never used to happen to me. *pouts*
I don't know how, but I think it's your fault. Your rebellious socks infected mine with their crazy via our everyday chat. Boo.

[lowcutjeans]

Perhaps they´re on some socks orgy. My socks are kind of slutty....:P
The only pair that never get lost is the black pair with big silver stars. And the knee lenght gray one, with yellow stripes. MMhhh. And the electric blue with electric green sole. And the black with gray and yellow diamonds....I´m seeing a pattern. Hideous socks don´t get lost.
Black, gray, brown, white...they are the sock´s fairy prey.:)
Try to buy Hello Kitty socks. Some random Disney Princess would work, too.

Okay, now I'm scared of you...

i had a philosophy professor who found the idea of having to show a photo id for things ridiculous ( we lived in a very small town), so he always kept a small mirror in his pocket. whenever they would ask him to "verify his identity", he would whip it out, look at it, say "yep, that's me!", and smile beatifically.

[kianspo]

LOL. I doubt he'd get very far around here, but well... :D

It was also the way she formulated the question -- 'are you sure?' No, I'm not sure. I'm keeping like a collection of passports, and just happened to grab this one because it colour-matched my nails... x__O
