Didn't mean to, but somehow did...

My wallet chain broke off just as they (kinda) went out of style.

Still a damned fine wallet, but I sometimes wish I had the security of that chain... sometimes.

But I totally jumped on the bandwagon of keeping your keys on a caribiner, but god damn is it convenient.

And speaking of Mossimo, I bought a damned fine brown blazer of theirs at target a few months back. Real nice.

Chain wallets are one of those things that I find to be practical, and I happen to like the way it looks as well. I wouldn't wear a chain any longer than the one it came with, though, some people just get silly with it. The carabiner for keys, too. It's so much better to clip that onto my pants and tuck my keys into my back left pocket so they don't jingle all the time, then having to shove them in one of my pockets.

The popped collar thing baffles me, too. Worst thing was last winter, when I feel like it was a much bigger problem here than it is now, I wore sweaters over collared shirts a lot, and when I took the sweaters off in class, the shirt collars would come up and I wouldn't notice. Sometimes they'd just pop up and I wouldn't even know how. I hate when I'm unknowingly sporting the douchebag look. Eventually I started checking for it immediately, after a bunch of times where I wondered why my roommate and the girl were laughing at me when I got back from classes.

Again, I feel like less people are doing it now, but the ones who are still doing it here are coincidentally the douchiest of all. Lots of kids I want to punch right in the teeth. Yes.

I would just like to say that chains on wallets are super gay.

Like Mr. Sulu from Star Trek gay.

That news is quite cromulent.

I am down with some chain wallets, I will not front, though I haven't worn one for years 'cause my wallet broke where you clip the chain on (actually the little eyelet tore out of the leather) and I never got around to buying a new one.

Back in the day I had a huge wallet chain. I bought the chain from a local hardware store, it was bright gold chain with HUGE links, something you'd see chaining a huge dog up in someones lawn.

Anyway, friends of mine were dropping me off after school, and stopped at a stop light so that I could hop out quick when the light was red. The light changed as I was hopping out and they sped off...

With my huge gold wallet chain stuck in the car door. I ended up running half/being pulled by the car into the middle of the intersection when finally the belt loop on my pants tore and my wallet and chain shot out.

And now you know.

[napalm]

I had a chain wallet in junior high. Then I realized that having a slim normal wallet that didn't make you sit 2'' higher was much more comfortable and practical.

Oh yea, fuck trifold.

I have not seen anyone wearing a chain on their wallet since like 1997. All I see today is belt buckles on the side of peoples hips, SUPER tight pants, super small t-shirts/polos, and swaffs swaffs swafs, swaffs everywhere. And somehow, the SIDESPIKE is making a comback, via the swaff. They gel the top of the head to a slippery slope, and then spike the side/back. Thats a sidespike moron, thats like 1992. Whats next? Pinning your jeans?

First of all, whats a swaff?

Second, the "sidespike" is a little different. They have to have really long bangs. It needs to be really long on top and all come down onto, or parted over there face, and then really short in the back and all spiked out. I saw some fat 32 year old guy trying to pull this off at some show a while back, except he was balding.... didn't work too well.

WTF collar popping. Where and when did this start? I'd never seen it before this summer, and it was ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE. Makes you look like a prick.

Collar popping has been an epidemic in washington for probably the past 5 years. It was a little trendy at first, but when even your best friends little 14 year old brother does it, while he is wearing G-Unit pants (he's a little skinny white boy) you know that it's gotten bad.

I haven't known or cared what was trendy since... ever, I guess.
Of course, most of the cartoons I watched as a kid were popular, since the popular stuff is what was on the most. Same goes for toys and comic books.
As far as fashion goes, I always tried to be as neutral and unremarkable as possible, because I didn't want to draw attention to my fat nerdy self.
I'm not really fat or nerdy anymore, but I only buy clothes every few years, so I couldn't be trendy even if I wanted to.

[animegirl]

The only trend I jumped on was the NES shirts. I have wanted girl-sized video game shirts FOREVER and they finally started making them. I hate the whole 'I Love Nerds" thing. I loved nerds before these vapid bitches did, damn it! I am glad for the cool glasses trend, I don't have to wear contacts 24/7 and I can actually get a stylish pair of glasses. I have a pair of Paul Frank ones on the way right now, in fact.

I have my keys in a chain, it was trendy ages ago - but I really don't care as it's very handy.
