Rimless? 'Cause that's what all the really cool kids had, until they got a basketball in the head during gym class and the lenses snapped off the posts - or maybe that was just me.<br /><br />The best part of this photo is that I actually <i>chose</i> to look this way! Not the 'shrimpy' part, but the hair? Bad perm. The glasses? I had to beg to get them. The sweater? My pick. The necklace? That little something special. <br /><br />What the hell was I thinking? Oh yeah. That I looked cool. <br /><br />I'm going to further indulge myself in this little trip down memory lane: This picture day is distinctive in my mind not ony because of the chosen outfit you can see, but also because I had dress pants on (say it with me now - "<i>slacks</i>"). Mostly, it's memorable because at some point in the day, I was in a hurry heading to my Honors Geometry class and I actually fell flat on my slacks-covered ass in the middle of the between-class crowded hallway. My brush (I have no idea what a brush could do for that hair) and my package of cheese crackers went flying ahead of me at two different angles. I popped up, collected my things, and was laughing so hard by the time I got to class that I could not breathe and had to leave again in order to regain my composure. I was quite sure that despite the crowded hallway and fantastically big hair, no one had seen me because I was, in fact, so cool. <br /><br />Days later, a junior boy from my neighborhood said to me, "Nice wipe out in the hallway the other day!"<br /><br />Aaah. Good times.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-24892316810544315172010-05-11T14:19:14.509-04:002010-05-11T14:19:14.509-04:00Or, perhaps people who are irresponsible, lazy, or...Or, perhaps people who are irresponsible, lazy, or psychopathic, don't care about their appearance or in fact, act in self-destructive ways in terms of drug use, diet, hygiene, exercise, etc. <br /><br />I love these studies - you point out the true motive - social engineering - one's this "link" is established, the modern intellectual can then proceed to being "pragmatic" in terms of the optimal way to force people to behave in ways consistent with their posited relationship <br /><br />p.s. everyone in the 1980's looked like this - I think you were cool!The Rat Caphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641716225847901280noreply@blogger.com
