Just call me Sporty Spice!
1:31 PM, Tuesday, 4 April, 2006
After much umming and ahhing about how I could spend this week (when I'm not eating and/or lying on the couch, that is), I decided that I needed a pair of... sneakers.
This was actually quite a traumatic realisation, brought upon by the telling of many friends and interested others that I would SO need a pair of sneakers because they are practical and comfy, and lighter than my giant great big pair of clodhopping boots, and I can go running through the mud and dust and everything and then throw them away if I really wanted to. I haven't had a pair of sneakers since high school. I think, actually, since year 10. EEEEeeeek! They're just so... sporty! I did already have a pair of pseudo-sporty type shoes, but they're so not sneakers, and too cute to throw away. Another thing is that I'm finding it quite difficult to prioritise which shoes will come with me - I've been told that 12 pairs is too many (in response to which I said that thongs aren't really shoes, so it's really eight, leave me alone I need my shoes!!!). A pair of ugly sneakers next to, and instead of, so many wonderful, cute and colourful pairs of shoes is just heartbreaking!!!
So off to the shops went I. There didn't seem to be much difference between the different pairs, so I went for the least-sporty-looking pair that I could find. I couldn't do anything about the whiteness, though. Ya came to meet me at the train station, and almost feel over laughing when I told him I had bought them. When I later put them on and proceeded to jog on the spot and do some star-jumps, the laughing continued until he decided I'd better stop before I hurt myself. Which was probably a good idea.
Now all I have to do to complete the look is crochet some snazzy sweatbands, and I'll be set!

I am horrified that you've bought some sneakers.
What is the world coming to?
Next you'll be wearing jeans or something totally practical like that.
But truly, we are kin.

Can't you dye them pink to match the ukulele?

Just remember that if Princess Sarah can take 9 pairs of different coloured thongs to schoolies (and she was only there for a week) 12 pairs of shoes for a whole year is not really trying. Lift your game!
