Now that it's started to cool down and get wet, I predict I'll be seeing a lot more of these girls popping up (like mushrooms!) ... Look at the weather forecast, dunderheads! Sheesh!

Date: 2006-09-17 06:58 am (UTC)Although now they're stuffing jeans into those hideous boots of theirs. With the skirt on top. All denim. *shudders*

Date: 2006-09-17 07:29 am (UTC)Yes, it smelled of fish, but to an oceanside girl living in the desert at the time, it was fine by me. :)
Urgh, a sufeit of denim. I thought the little-cute-skirt-atop-jeans was dumb when the Asian foreign exchange students started wearing it, and now that it's caught on in the mainstream over here it still looks dumb. But I'm an old fogey; what do I know?

Date: 2006-09-17 07:45 am (UTC)I don't understand skirts over jeans either. The core idea is to look trendy, I guess, but there's no reason to wear the skirt. Don't know why people don't consider that. Perhaps we just think outside the box? :P

And I don't want to spend any more time with that sort of person than I do already, no matter how amusing they may be. Too many negative connotations. You were never an oddball girl in high school.

Date: 2006-09-18 12:06 pm (UTC)You make it sound like there's a terrible memory or two involving the cruelty of teenagers that still haunts you...that makes me angry. For what it's worth, I know what it's like to have been the butt of a lot of jokes, having grown up as an oddball boy myself (maybe I didn't suffer as much emotionally - though I got about as much of that as I could handle - or more - as a wimpy, oversensitive boy, but I probably got physically beat up more than most girls would - at least I hope so. Ah, happy childhood days...)

Date: 2006-09-17 10:24 pm (UTC)My favourite story about Utahns oblivious to the weather was when, in typical Utah fashion, the temperature plummeted overnight, and yet everyone turned up at school that day in shorts and sandals. 'It's so cold! It's not fair!' they complained. 'It was raining and 45° when you left the house this morning!' I replied. Garrr.
I think I've been pwned!
Date: 2006-09-18 11:47 am (UTC)But I found myself unexpectedly having equally as much fun on the other side of the equation one day, years later, when I was on tour for "Hunchback" for Disney, at one of the hotels we were staying at (was it San Francisco, or Vancouver?). It was probably about 53 F in March, and I went outside for only about 5 minutes to get a newspaper, so I didn't mind wearing shorts and sandals. Two of my tourmates, native Southern Californians, were dressed in parkas, shivering and huddling together for warmth, absolutely paralyzed! They chattered "A-A-A-re you c-c-c-c-razy?? It's f-f-f-f-f-reezing out her-r-r-r-re!" - and I found myself laughing and saying, "Dude, if it was 53 degrees in Utah in March, we'd all be playing volleyball and having a picnic outside, enjoying the heatwave!"
Of course, after only a couple of years in LA, I'm probably even more wimpy about the cold than they were then!

Date: 2006-09-18 06:45 pm (UTC)At our school, Drama classes are held in a hall a short way away. During the winter, I go and sit outside the hall waiting for class to start. Sooner or later, everyone else in class rushes in and makes various beelines to the radiators. I stare and refrain from commenting that they wouldn't be so cold if they put on a proper goddamn coat!!!
