it freaks me out to see trends come around again. it makes me feel old, and i know i'm not old. but, like, i was just at urban outfitters (buying BOWLS; how old does that make me?), and there were all these ringer t-shirts. and you know, i've always been go team ringer-t, i never stopped wearing them. but lo and behold, they were marketing grey and black mickey mouse ringers. and that actually made me freeze for a second and do some math. because i own one of those shirts. it wasn't the exact same shirt; mine seems a little more solidly constructed, but essentially the same shirt. and i've had mine since march 1995. so that's 7 years. and i bought it at a vintage store in west hollywood to begin with. so it's on at least the second go-round as it is. but now it's cool again, and columbiaites will be wearing it with their pube-jeans and newsboy caps. and i will be mad because once upon a time i was young and trendy and wore lowrider jeans and ringer tees and newsboy caps. but now the girls wearing them are like 5 years old and have perfect tiny little bodies and their idea of low-rider is very different from what mine was in 1996.

so i bought bowls.
