Act Your Shoe Size [Apr. 19th, 2007|08:04 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
[info]ravenblack, a man so cynical he makes Diogenes look like Epicurus, apparently doesn't believe I'm from the future, on the grounds that I don't have sufficiently futuristic shoes. Well, read 'em and weep, birdboy:



They do say that when an actor is building a role they should start from the shoes, as shoes create posture create character. As such, please honour a (very slowly) dying man's last request and post a picture of what you're wearing on your feet in the comments, or on your own LJ, I don't care. C'mon, it's almost the end of the week, what else could you possibly have to occupy your time?

For those without access to photographic equipment, I guess a description of what you're wearing on your feet would do. But I do warn you that at current exchange rates it will have to be 1000 words long.

See, if you were really going backwards in time then you'd not believe that archaic exchange rate.

Where I come from they keep words in cages in zoos, and telepathic children come to point and laugh at them.

I am not wearing shoes. Indeed I seldom wear shoes. Whenever it is possible to get away with not wearing shoes, I will gently kick them off. This has caused all of my employers apoplexy, and lots of people have told me things about how unhygienic it is to go to the kitchen / toilet / park barefoot. They may well be right. I am wearing black socks, which are Tescos’ value socks. I like these socks because they have very bright colours on them, but carefully hidden under the shoe line, so when you are at work you look like you are wearing respectable black shoes and socks, but secretly you have bright blue and green stripes where no-one can see them. Of course this plan is less good if you walk round work in your socks.

That’s 138, according to Word. I think you might not actually want the other 850, having already waded through that lot!

Dude, you totally owe me 862 words about shoes, and one day, one day I'm going to call them in.

Socks though! I have a box full of socks all of which have days of the week written on them. I just pick them at random, so usually it'll be Monday and I'll have a Tuesday and a Friday on or whatever. But looking at my socks today, I see they are both, by pure chance, Thursdays! Not matching Thursdays, of course - one says Thursday in discreet grey writing, and the other "Thrilling Thursday" in a shocking green. But even so, the odds against this having happened must be ASTRONOMICAL!

freak.

what you should have done, of course, is get people to post pictures anonymously and then guess who the shoes belonged to.

i am not wearing these shoes.

(there is nothing else to occupy my time. however i am wearing embarrassingly bad shoes.)

I hitched my trousers up a bit to give a better view of my shoes, damn you.

My email address is osirun@gmail.com... I'll try to mail you presently, assuming you're in my gmail address book :)

I have a camera but no means of getting picture from camera onto work computer. However, I have a picture I took of a shop signage that said Verlaine on the Lower East Side in NYC that I plan to email you with eventually:)

I'm wearing no shoes, which I also do whenever possible.

However, I can provide a link to pictures of pretty tango shoes, if you can bear the flash and the unsolicited music.

Do women have to wear that style of shoe to tango then? Do the men?

if you're on my flickr friends list, you can see my shoes in the latest photo. which was taken the other day, but I wear the same sort of shoes year round, with the exception of boots for bad weather and heels for weddings and funerals.

Am I on your flickr friends list? I don't know! I long to see your shoes. (And hopefully will get to do so in May, fingers crossed? :)

I could do a thousand words about my shoes. Not right now, as I should be working, but I could do it. Are you sure you're up to that?

And I don't think [info]ravenblack is nearly that cynical. I find it hard to believe that anyone could be that cynical. You're just doing a typical goth/romantic flowery exaggeration thing.

I know quite a few women who could use up a thousand words just listing their shoes.

But yes, thousand word essay about the shoes you're wearing, as soon as possible, chop chop!

Ooh, suave.

For some reason possibly related to brain damage, I'm now imagining you as looking a lot like Peter Wyngarde/Jason King.
