the difference between taking pics and creating portraits.


( thank you ) to wineroom

i was in walmart last night minding my own business looking at greeting cards when a creepy dude came barrelling around the corner almost running into me. he didnt have enough time (in my opinion) to form this plan (from the time he came around the corner to the time he spoke) so i think he must have seen me and came around the corner almost on top of me on purpose. he says really fast "you look familiar do you work for the department of health?" i say "no i dont" he says "hmm well where do you work?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? does he really think im going to tell him where i work? i said "im sorry, i dont know you im not going to tell you where i work" he huffs off down to the other end of the cards. right. i dont tell you, a stranger, where i work and YOU are pissy about it? i dont think so.

i have been having very intense, very real and very creeped out nightmares every night since saturday. i havent been stressing anything, im not eating weird foods, or eating late. i just cant figure it out. last night's dream was a huge tornado. i woke up at 4:45 and got up, fuck taking the chance that i will dream like that again "tonight". so i went to walmart at 5am.

i bought a "rinse out" hair color last night. dark blonde turned my hair a very very ugly brown. so i pretty much bleached it this morning. its kind of strawberry blonde right now and way more tolerable than the brown it was as of 10 pm last night. i think i will go look for a neutral tone blonde i have used before and do that tonight. i just couldnt manage going to chicago with my hair in a shape AND color i hate. the shape is hate because im trying (seriously this time) to grow my hair a bit. i might not last much longer, but im trying. it desperately needs a trim and that makes it really difficult.

im going to chicago tomorrow. it will be about 80 when my flight leaves sarasota, and about 15 when i arrive. can someone please tell me how to dress for that! im thinking jeans and a long sleeved shirt, with flip flops to start. i will bring socks, boots, a sweater, my coat, gloves, hat and scarf in my carry on. i have to be dressed to go to kim's birthday dinner when i get off the plane. heck.

HERE IS A QUESTION:

i have always had a pet peeve about wearing brown shoes with black clothes . when i am in chicago, i will be mostly wearing my brown boots, as they are the warmest. but my dressier clothes are black. how bad is it if i wear jeans with brown boots and a black shirt? can i get away with it? would YOU dress like that? would it help if i toss in other colors (layering, scarf, accessories?) HALP!
