this is why i can't have nice things.
Oct. 2nd, 2012 03:15 pmi stocked up on fancy colored tights for the fall. now, i'm a stupidhead with nylons, and if i'm really lucky, i can get through one or two whole wearings without snagging them or putting a hole in them. i'm not even that clumsy or flail-y. i have no idea where these snags come from.
but tights, ah. tights can last me a while. they're thicker, see? so unless i have an unruly toenail or i wear them in a pair of boots without sock protection, i'm pretty good to go.
so here it is, not cold enough for 100% pantstime and not warm enough in the mornings anymore for bare legs. it is fall! bring on the tights! and i have a brand new pair, still in the package--cherry. they are a roasty plummy red. tasty. i put them on.
now either they already had the run in them before i took them out of the package or i have thorns growing between my knees OR i have bathroom gremlins. because all i did was go to brush my teeth and when i returned to the bedroom to put on bootsocks, bam. hole in the right side of my left knee!
REALLY? WHAT THE HELL. THESE FUCKERS ARE LIKE $8 A PAIR. CAN'T I JUST ENJOY THEM FOR ONE WHOLE DAY? I DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE APARTMENT YET.
fuck it. a little clear nail polish on both sides and i'm out the door. you can't really see it unless you're looking for it. and even then, i don't give a shit. you can't make me.
tsk. goddammit.
