I'm still holding on to the hope that even though I don't feel cool, someone out there might think I am, lol.

Can that really require you to wear such shoes? Damn. You know in high school I always wanted to be different. I was the first girl in our high school to wear moccasins. About two weeks later nearly every girl who was hip had them! Then at a time I wore ankle length flower child dresses. The first week people stared and a few weeks later everyone else was doing the same. The final staw came when I decided to wear a cloak instead of a coat. Ankle length and gray with a hood. I went into the city to get it and wouldn't you know a few weeks later a handful of other girls had them. My Mom said that imitation was the sincerest form of flattery but it just irked me that I was the only one with an original idea! I was never a loner though. I was the one who was friends with all the other groups in school. You know I got my tattoo at forty as none of my friends had them and a few years later everyone else had one of those. And by the way, I think you are still cool! :) Hugs, NelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6489911025579199899.post-6224399436121309132005-07-17T09:51:00.000-07:002005-07-17T09:51:00.000-07:00Without sounding silly, I do think you have a very...Without sounding silly, I do think you have a very interesting, cool journal.

That being said, I will say that as a professional "street walker" (street patrol officer) for about ten years. Rockports were lightweight yet good looking dress shoes. I could still run in them yet I didn't come home at night feeling like I had walked around for 8 hours with 40 pound cement bags on my feet. For work... OK, For dress... Not so OK.

I have never been cool. I'm too much of a nerd, plus I care what people think.

I dunno, Mary. Those look like the kind of shoes I have had to wear to work every day for the last thirty years. But I have a closet full of "cool" shoes to slip into as soon as I get home. Sometimes you gotta just be nice to the feet (and that means wearing ugly shoes) if you want them to be nice to you. Sigh!
