A fine spring day...

ship_go_boomYesterday, that is. Although it looks to be quite nice today, as well. I got my hair trimmed, finally. I no longer look like a neglected topiary. Also, I'm remembering now why I like having the mohawk: wind-in-long-hair and wind-on-almost-bare-scalp are both among my favorite spring/summer related sensations. Guitar lesson went well, too. And on to the question...
...Is it bad that I don't mind being a fashion victim?
Take yesterday, for example. Chocolate brown pinwale corduroy broomstick skirt and bright red pseudo-backless top. Not bad so far, the shirt may gravitate towards party-girl but actually goes really well with the skirt. Things got scary when it came time to leave the house. Which is when shoes and jacket were added to the ensemble. Or, more to the point, the biker jacket and Doc Martens. The Docs were shoes, at that. All the clompyness of the boots with the added bonuses (bonae?) of ankle flexibility and having your little white socks show. I went through the day feeling good and pleased with my fashion choices, but in the back of my head were two questions, buzzing around: "Is this outfit more of an 'Identity Crisis' look, or a 'Total Geek' look?" and "Would the pink socks with red and purple lip prints have worked better, even if they had much higher tops?"
Dammit, I think Winamp just locked up my computer. I can't switch windows. Lets hope I can still post this...
ETA: Yep, serious(ly weird) computer lockage, although I'm not entirely certain what caused it. I couldn't move from one window or program to the other using the normal "click the toolbar" method, and had to use task manager. Then said toolbar went completely blank, right down to the little tray icons and start button (this was after posting). Still the only effect was having to use task manager to navigate. WTF?
And it was warm and dry enough for me to walk outside barefoot today. Yay!
