Because actual updates are still beyond me

** **
Stop falling, you rain.
Stripey blue socks with no shoes
and you don't mix well.
**		 Goat cheese for each meal,
with apples and stale baguette,
make a happy Meg.
**

This job is a game,
Pretend to be smarter, yes,
but be a monkey.
**		 My trolley lurches,
small girl sings nonsense to me,
birthday balloon bobs.
**
He's a carpenter,
not a help desk guy, he says.
Don't tell his day job.
**		 Grad school apps loom big
but there are movies to watch
and boyfriend to hug.
**
Not NaNoWriMo,
These words will decide my life.
No wonder they freeze.
**		 Reading Naked Ape
Like watching football, I curse
the stupid ideas.
**
When brunch takes all day,
and migraine pills clench my teeth,
my Sunday is gone.
**		 I can't remember
When last I called my parents.
No guilt, just a void.
**
Coworkers tease me:
Am I from New York because
I wear only black?
**		 Left S.F. days back.
Didn't leave my heart, but I
left my best friend there.
**
Counting syllables
Makes me forget what I say,
I'm more free this way.
**		 Form follows function?
Not in a haiku, my friend,
form counts out my words.
**
Doot doo doo de doo
Tra la la la tra la la
Yodelai-hee-hoo
**		 I've no sense of time,
I may cave and buy a watch.
I am yuppie scum.
**
When was the last time
I read a damned newspaper?
I almost miss news.
**		 I'm so sorry I
haven't been in touch with you.
Which you? All of you.
**

I sadly live up to the cliche for the most part. I don't when I'm not at work but all my shirts have always been black and I used to wear red, grey, green and blue pants (or striped) but all my work pants are black or black with pinstripes. Everyone comments on it here.
Somehow, though, I can't imagine you in all lback. patterned skirts and pale tops.

hehe! last time you were imagining me in paint-covered cords :)

today in fact i'm wearing black dressy boots, black dress pants, and a black pinstripe button-down (with fun drawstrings along the sleeves that tie in bows at the end). my work wardrobe contains a fair amount of black because it's just so easy! i also have pale tops, but no patterned skirts (that i wear to work, anyway).

i really want a good pair of red pants.

I don't think you'd wear paint-covered cords to work. I always assumed you'd be a skirts-to-work person. Then again I also wish I'd be a skirt person so it may just be habit.
Hearing what you're wearing is creepily like those Internet type-by flirtations. Only nicer. I always admire those shirts with the pulls, but I know I would tear my shirt to pieces fidgeting. I'm wearing all black again today. I went on a three day kick a few weeks ago of no black (except for shoes because all my shoes are black) - it was fun but much harder to conceptualize, I had to keep in mind that I had to wear the red shirt with the grey pants because tomorrow I'd have to wear green trousers and the red shirt wouldn't go, I had to iron a button down or two, and I caved and wore ties too. Far far too complicated for early morning dressing.

I have 3 pairs of red pants - fleece, velvet and corduroy. =)
