this is the first Matt Good concert that I've knowingly missed. Now, yes, this makes me a nerd. I could care less. he is the one singular artist who i will knowingly buy a CD of before downloading/hearing ANY of the songs on it. I am not at this concert because I have to study for a retail midterm tomorrow. I am not studying for my retail midterm because I am agonizing over not being at this concert. Seriously.
crappy day today. it's been raining for a solid 7 days almost, and i'm tired of it. I like fall sometimes, and those times are only when it's sunny and crisp and you can wear cute jackets and little tweed hats and sneaks and jeans and be all hipster-preppy cool. hipster-preppy cool is my new favourite kind of style. well, hipster-preppy-bohemian-tomboy cool/casual (is that really even a style though?).
i'm not a trendy kind of girl. i mean, i will jump on the occasional sort of trend, but i really, seriously do NOT understand the point of leggings...why are they back? I understand people hate when it's cold and that leggings warm your legs.
remember when we looked back at the 80s and cringed? why would you ever want to wear that again? i mean, okay, i understand the off-the-shoulder shirts. i own a couple of those myself, although boatnecks and off the shoulder always looks cute to me. i can even accept women's re-fascination with legwarmers. but i cannot for the life of me forgive the leggings. what's next, teased, hairsprayed bangs? sure, you scoff now at the idea but i mean, three years ago you would have scoffed at the leggings as well.
give me a nice pair of classic sneakers, some jeans, a wifebeater and a hoodie any day.
so yeah, midterm tomorrow, until 5:30 (!) and then possibly going to watch a friend play houseleague hockey. okay, fine, he's playing another team full of cute boys that i know, and they'll be all sweaty and cute, but i do like to support my friends' endeavors once in a while (horrible memories of going to the Little Rock in Ottawa).
haven't talked to the boy since Saturday. not that i'm like, counting or anything. i think i'll do a fun photo-essay project for here this weekend to keep myself occupied. i haven't had enough artistic experiences lately. Plus there's the Chinese lantern display at the Botanical Gardens. whee!
