Smile

The other day I was shopping and ran into a girl i use to date. Instead of running over and be excited to see her, I hid, I am a master at hide and seek, i think she failed to seek. Now to be fair its a girl i dated for 6 months and it was the last girl i have dated for an extended period of time. We stopped "hanging out" when we both got to busy to make time. Friendship could have occur ed but how do you go from dating to friends? This is not an uncommon problem for me, hiding when i see people in my past. I think its because of my intolerance for the fake conversation, you know the one. You have to force a smile, and talk through you teeth like you actually give a shit what they are telling you, knowing the minute you walk away you say to yourself "bitch" or whatever fits that person. Am i the only one who despises meeting old acquaintances?

lucky! me

Recently I have been gaining weight. The is by choice and its a good thing. The problem with this is I now need to purchase some new jeans. Jeans have never been my favorite thing to shop for, I detest it really. But unless i raise my estrogen levels, or turn into an emo kid the tightness of the jeans is not going to cut it. the waist is fine, its more in the thighs and calves, a great look for all the cute females but not me. I prefer a more baggyesqe look myself.

My problem with shopping for pants is there are only 2 brands that make a 36 in. (extra long) inseam. 36 is even pushing my luck on the length. Most jeans come in a 34 and its a rarity to find longer. now the 34 might work, if i were into the Capri look, which no single straight male has ever pulled off and i don't think I'm going to attempt.

More problems occur with the sales staff, the females are a tad bit better than the males because 1. they are much easier on the eyes, and 2. they for some strange reason understand this dilemma. The guys think that by changing the shade of the denim makes them magically grow, even after telling them specifically what you need.

The last problem is with the other shoppers themselves. its Christmas time and people need to get gifts for the ones they love. Why clothes entered this I don't know but really have you ever received anything from someone you did not take back? Shoppers armed with this knowledge fell the need to buy my pants for people who barley break the 6 foot mark, I'm being generous with the height restrictions here. They will just wear them below the ass anyways so the male Capri's would work for them anyways. Unless he is a bit older and straps the waist line up to the nipples I could then see the allure of longer jeans.

Maybe for Christmas I should ask that denim manufactures make longer pants, or I just need someone with a headstrong attitude to help fish through all the other jeans, as well as people in search of making my ass look better, in a pair of finely tuned fabric.
