Or [livejournal.com profile] nurse_liz's Great Plan is coming to fruition.

Why else would I have gone out shopping for a new pair of jeans (preferably Properly Black; failing that, nice faded 501-blue) and ended up getting beige cords? Worse still - I'm wearing them today.

Maybe I'm not a goth after all?

I think maybe you've just been envelopped by the spirit of Teh May. Mmmmh cords.

But I *wanted* a nice pair of nice motoring-journalist-blue-jeans!

(Yes. Mmmm, cords. 'Scuse me while I stroke myself...)

I remember cords from when I was 7 or 8, I hated them.

So did I, but that was in the 70s when they were fashionable. Now they're funky & retro and Liz told me they're good.

How long before you hit forty? It might just be premature ageing, and the genetic need for cardigans and slacks coming out too soon?

I've got loads of cords, I love them I do :)

Do you get odd looks when you stroke them? Or do you get used to them & stop feeling yourself up every 5 minutes?

I don't get used to them, and do continue to stroke my legs. In fact, I'm thinking of creating a new cool kids trend which is entirely based around coroduroy. [livejournal.com profile] nurse_liz's user name used to be ms.corduroy.

I think you are just becoming part of the the hive mind, you may be a member of the Jen[n]{y/i/ie} collective, but you are one of the three graces, and our influence spills over. I know this to be true, because every now and then Liz wears something approaching tie-dye (and just pretends it isn't), I will know that you are both me and claim my five pounds when you wear Greatful Dead t-shirts.

I had hoped that I was catching up with myself, having been mentally 30 throughout my 20s.

Ah well. If I can average being mentally 12 in some ways (hurrah for bottom jokes) with being 40 in others (mmmm, cords & 70s rock) I'll come out ok :)

Seventies rock is about 20, isn't it? Very trendy among students at the mo. So you're knocking your average down there...

Either 20, or Clarkson-aged.

I think I'll claim 20 ;)

Cords - fine. But beige?? Why? WHYYYYYYY? My sister and I told our mum that if she ever bought anything beige it would be the sign of her impending old age and would make her return it to the shop.

I could call them "sand" or "champagne". Would that help?

I downloaded a bunch of Billie Piper the other day. I'm in the same boat as you right now. My street cred is SO dead if that gets out. :P

Beige cords are the preferred coverings of the Physicist in its natural habitat, aren't they?

From: [identity profile] puddingcat.livejournal.com
What sort of physicist? Low temperature physicists require wooly jumpers & thick cords, 'tis true. But high energy ones tend to favour jeans or shorts, to enable cycling round cyclotrons.

At least I'm not an electrical engineer; the world is safe from the sight of me in elasticated waist polyester comfort trousers.

Do you think our monkeks will start breeding?

I think the thought of child-zombie-monkeks with the combined brains of [livejournal.com profile] puddingcat and [livejournal.com profile] dr_wez gives me Teh Fear... They would rise up and take over the wORLD!!

You know I've been keeping monkeks for weeks now, and I have no idea how/if they breed...

You ARE Goth.

You're just assigned to the Covert Berketex Ops branch of the Goth Special Forces.

I'm not a real Goth!

*realises what I've said*

Arse.

If I have to be covert, can't I be covert in something a little less middle-aged than Berkertex?

You're a real goth to me. [/delusion insulation reassurance protocol #3429]

You could trade up to frills with military jackets and run into rooms shouting 'FREEZE! NEW ROMANTIC DIVISION!'?

Cords'll only lead you one way - that's to tartan alice bands and treading the mean n' seedy streets of Alderley Edge. There you'll be busting various members of the Women's Institute for using flavour enhancers in an inter-Cheshire organic jam ring.

You can wear white and still be a goth.... gothness is inside!.... and the corsets of course. :-P
