my head appears to be shrinking!
Oct. 6th, 2001 04:41 pmToday has been a typical example of Rhoda's Inverse Law theory. My life is always like that. Whatever I expect, the opposite happens. If I provide for something, it never happens. If I expect the unexpected, I get the surreal.
The basic example of my inverse law theory is the fact that rain is actually dependent on how convenient it was for me to take an umbrella. Or how nipping out just to get shampoo or summat involves buying £50 worth of books and clothes.
Today was one of those days where I planned to blow some money on myself and didn't! All I bought was three cd's. The most stunning thing is that I bought some sensible work shoes. At last. I did not get distracted by stiletto heels, zips, pointed toes or suede, and I actually bought something I can wear if it rains. Well obviously they do have four inch heels but in a sensible chunky manner :)
That's just reminded me of Carine's shoe theory......she has this idea that finding a partner is like finding a pair of shoes: you have to make sure that they fit properly, walk up and down in the shop, try a few sizes, etc etc. I originally smiled at this politely, then ages later, after the Maxim fiasco I said " Oooh, I get it! I know I should go for the sensible ones, the waterproof ones that fit properly and are comfortable....but I always end up with the fantastic looking ones that don't fit, and you can't walk in them and they fucking wreck all the time they're on your feet, and leave you in pain."
"Exactly" she said.
