It is 7:10 in the morning and I am trying to make it downstairs to eat breakfast before going to work. Since I have to be at work in less than 20 minutes now, I should get down there pretty soon. I just can't find the socks I want to wear today, so that is the problem here.
I have heard that Evie, A and B are going down south this weekend. I could have gone too, mind you.
well, I should go now. Since I haven't looked for my socks, I haven't found them yet. Did I mention how not even Dad is awake right now? I alone am carrying the torch for getting out of bed before sunrise.

Funny thing socks.
Well I think, with respect to matching socks, it might fall under the catagory of doing all things decently and in order. You see, socks serve just 3 purposes. 1. To protect the foot from the shoe. 2. To keep the exposed part of your legs warm. 3. (and here's where it gets aesthetic) To maintain the line created by your pants all the way to the top of your shoe (and to the ground if your shoes are doing their part). Mis- or non-matched socks destroy this line which makes short people look shorter, tall people look like their pants are too short, and the whole lot of them look colorblind. Of course this is all a personal preference--not something that I believe will be made expicitly clear on day the of judgement.
I believe in having fun with socks, but I don't believe we should play it fast and loose with them.
If you wear crazy liberal shoes like I do then you do not even need to own socks!
I have always liked Brittany's sock style. It makes total sense: who really cares?
Hey, Aaron has a great invention for socks....
Ahh yes, thanks for calling me back to the ingeneuity of my childhood. See, when I was little, I said I was going to grow up and patent an invention called 'sock suspenders'. They would be little elastic devices that would go between the top of the sock and the bottom of the shirt tail. It would cleverly keep your socks up and your tails in. I think it's got at least as much potential as Classics heh?
Actually, men used to wear sock suspenders. They were called gaiters, and were little bits of elastic that went around the knee and held the socks up by little ribbons with buttons on the end. Sort of the male version of the garter belt.
