Revenge

So although I went to a school for nerds and was not ostracized or anything, I still was not at the top rung of cool even for such a group. I simply didn’t have the insight or the tools to be cool: my mother wasn’t the kind of mom who took me shopping at the right stores, or informed me about the various uses of feminine potions; I wasn’t a teen who paid much attention to fashion, etc.

Maybe that’s why it was both shocking and sweet to get to my desk this morning (late due to doctor’s apt) and find a clipping from a national newspaper on my keyboard. From the Style section. In which I was referred to as “tastemaker” (whatever that is) and that I had called a 2009 trend.*

Ha, ha, ha. No seriously! I won’t get into the state of journalism today. I wasn’t interviewed but I had indeed written a piece talking about this… trend. I didn’t really actually intend to start it though.

Anyways, that was kind of cool, in a very very odd way. Thank god no one can see your shoes on the ‘net.

* An entertaining trend, not a fashion trend. But still! Tastemaker!
