Warning: This post is shallow and out of character.

I think I've found my way into a bit of an image crisis. It started off with the realization that my hair has been the same for 16 years, but I've noticed that everything else is also old. The current look - hoodie and cargos with running shoes - is a style I settled into in ninth grade. It was customized to look a little more rugged when I got a beat-up car and some rusty chains. The Sentra was meant to be driven by a weird kid with a dull knife and a denim jacket. Other than that I've had no change. I think I want to adapt to my car again, though. It's shiny, black, and German. The black leather interior already influenced me some. The current shoes are black leather and I've kept my eyes open. I dunno. I think I'm gonna hunt down some slimmer cargo pants. I don't know if they fit with the style but I'm practical before fashionable and I like the pockets. I haven't worn non-cargoes since I worked at Remke except for a couple job interviews. I dunno. So far as adapting to the car goes, I think it'd work with a darker 1950's poet influence. Black suit jacket, dark sweater, slim cargo pants in gray or something. I'll try something out at the next shindig, I suppose. The other idea is the one I've been going for but not willing to pay for since this time two years ago. Think Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca: nice pants, button-down shirt, ankle-length trench coat, nice fedora. Maybe I'll mix the two. The Humphrey Bogart look is prohibitively expensive because of the trench coat, but whatever. Somebody's got to have one at a decent price. I'll figure something out, I'm sure. Damn identity crises. I blame the alt-kids I spend all my time with and the subconscious urge to adapt. :)
