got them from the "free store" at my college in 2008, no brand no size no idea whose they were. irreplaceable! one of a kind! now they literally have holes in the leather they are so worn but damn do they look great with everything & when I walk around they go "clip clop"

ones i have/had before: - our legacy camion boots (work w/ any bottoms, owned & loved for 4 years now) - oree infantry boot (best w/ wider bottoms bc intense toe & chunky sole. they’re like better doc platform boots, tumbled leather more comfy) - oree morgan/grant derby (best w/ wider bottoms. nice chunky derby, black corrected leather or brown hairy suede choose your weapon) - morjas loafers (more formal type shape spruces up all outfits, only fit narrow foot) - horatio loafers (fair prices good quality. range of styles, had the horsebits & liked but took bad care of them) - timberland 3 eye moc (best w/ baggy bottoms esp pants that taper a bit or huge shorts) - plasticana gardana clog (my fav shoes ever, like half clog half loafer & quite cheap. size down + get insole. best w/ wider pants) - adidas bw army trainers (essentially a lace to toe samba, watch out for foam tongue though) - adidas superstar (put fat laces in them, best w/ anything more baggy/relaxed) ones i haven’t: - balenciaga strike boot (super chunky sole combat boot) - vintage cowboy boots (hunting some myself) - frye campus boot (high calf square toe boot with a generous heel)

I can legitimately say I would not be the same person I am now if I had never seen Amelie. there's this episode of This American Life called "Spark Bird" - the bird that first sparks someone's interest in/obsession with birding - well I like to refer to "spark movies" and Amelie was it for me. it showed me what cinema could do. I had never seen a movie that encapsulated my worldview but also how I wanted the world to be and look. seeing it as a teenager probably had a lot to do with it - the longing, the quirkiness - but the visual/artist part of me realized movies could do and express things I never thought possible and never had words or images for. it was like a floodgate opened, it was my gateway drug to more movies, art, music, and the way I experienced myself in the world. it was so formative for me it's like my brain soaked it up and I can't help that it's always there permeating everything with more whimsy, flair, and color ✨

I'm lost without my floss. (lossed without my flossed? lost without my flost?) if I can't floss it's like, an emergency. I don't know how other people are dealing with food in their teeth. unless my teeth are just extra spacey or something?? and I'm sorry but toothpicks just don't cut it. useless! how do other people just not floss after eating I don't understand. also... gum. oral hygiene ya know?
