As I check out myspace I catch these glimpses of creative, funny, twisted, and just all around cool people. I wonder if these people could ever really be my friend though, mostly because while my interests are so varied, I dont really classify myself in a certain group of people. I feel a bit like tofu, absorbing the flavors around it, but never pulling off the actual mouth feel of the real deal. In my younger days those people were called posers, and beat up in general. The prospect of a virtual beatdown seems fairly innocuous, so I can safely list my turns in the varied world of stereotypes:
1. Goth/New Wave stage- lasted about 2 years in high school. I still love the Cure, and docs
2. Theatre/drama stage- (no pun intended)
3. Punk stage- well, I had to bathe but attitude, eyeliner, and self mutilation were in check
4. Hippie stage- tie dyes rule! I never did have the guts to dread my locks though
5. Feminist stage- didnt shave my legs for months! And that, my friends, takes guts to do in Texas
6. Chicano stage- ultimately I can't shake that one, not that I'd want to, but I wore it on my sleeve for a while
7. Pseudo-country phase- proud to say that Ive never actually owned cowboy boots or a hat, but I did retain a lingering affection for the Eagles
8. Club Hottie- yes, I do still have some stripper heels in my closet from that turn. I was the "Look, Don't Touch Grrrrl". (The grrrrl part is a remnant from my feminist stage. Came in handy in clubs when guys try to grope for luna.)
And presently, I'm in my Officewear/grown-up stage, where my main focus is paying my mortgage and finding at least one weekend a month where I can party hard(y). Of course the term "party" has definitely shifted meaning as it no longer refers to keggers or "whatever shot is on special" in a club, rather drinking wine or bottled beer with 3-4 select friends. Oh, and I wear a lot of skirts and refer to my weekend wardrobe as "play clothes" Sigh... I think I deserve that virtual beatdown right about now.
