Twentysomething Angst Strikes Again
I guess I should start savoring these twentysomething 'moments' since in about a year I won't have them anymore. They'll then be known as thirtysomething crises or whatever.
Today I think I look good (my hair doesn't resemble a Brillo pad and I'm wearing my favorite jeans) but I sure don't feel too good. I just feel very un-hip. Kinda lame, right? My usual defense of social apathy and anti-establishment bravado aren't around today to pick me up. (They're over at the bar, drinking with my self-esteem.)
I think my real problem is all the second-guessing I've done today. There's nothing like indecision to really make you feel not like a million bucks. It's like I've been handed a drink by that creepy bartender in those Disaronno commercials. Do I drink it? Do I throw it in his face? What if he's really a nice guy? What if he's actually a monkey-man who wants to take advantage of me? What if I don't care? Do I even have the energy to think about this? See, indecision! I can't even get through a metaphor.
The good news is this angst will pass and I'll get back to normal, hopefully sooner rather than later. At least Angela got kicked off Project Runway last night. For that, I am grateful.

What? You didn't like all of Angela's "signature" rosettes pasted over butts and belt loops of all of her designs? You know, by nature, I don't think a signature should be one thing. Jeffrey's look was "signature" in that it was off-beat and edgy, not that he adopted pleather and incorporated it into everything. As much I can't stand Jeffrey's snide and rude comments, he does make some cool stuff. And I hate the neck tattoo. Honestly, who gets a neck tattoo?
You're not old. Keep looking for beauty and keep laughing, you will never be old.

The neck tattoo is the least of the things I don't like about Jeffrey. The guy's a boob. If only he and Vincent would get into a fatal hair-pulling fight... I'm pulling for Michael. The man can design! (It doesn't hurt that he's purty, either...)
I'm feeling better now that I've had some lunch. I think when my blood sugar gets low, so do I. Hmm. Thanks for the long-distance cheer, however!
Yes, Michael is awesome. I would be pleased if he, Uli, or Laura won. I'm a little tempted to go see Kayne's boutique. It's just up the road in Norman. What do you think?? Road trip? I don't care that he's tacky, I just like his personality!!
Ditto too on the Vincent/Jeffrey minimalist hissy fit/fight. Hehehhe, now that would be entertaiment!!
Glad to know you're feeling hip and free!! Now get back to work! ;)
Love,
ME
agreed on all accounts.
i like Kayne. he's just so cute and lovable! let's adopt him. we will add him to our growing menagerie of gay boyfriends everywhere. the poor kid is not going to win though, so someone will have to be there to cheer him up after he goes home. i say it's worth the trip to the OK state!
"I just feel very un-hip."
Such feelings go away when you turn 30. You'll think it's hip to be un-hip. Or you'll just stop caring. It's actually quite nice.
yes, 30-something guanacos certainly do not concern themselves with hipness. and neither should cute little robots of any age.
