Pants!

I just successfully bought pants. I know, this is big news.

Buying pants is one of my least favorite things to do, because lots of the pants all look the same to me, yet most of them don’t fit right. Either the legs fit, but the waist doesn’t, or vice versa. Or they fit but are hideous, or they’re pretty but too uncomfortable. And they’re always too long and drag on the ground and get yucky. (Hemming? What is hemming?) I had two pairs of jeans, but they both have gigantic holes in them. The pair that’s still “wearable” has giant holes in the knees, and I’m afraid to wash them, in case they disintegrate. So I finally went over to Value Village to look for pants.

First off, my head wasn’t in the game or something, and I kept driving the wrong way to the store. Which is especially stupid because it’s not hard to get to. It’s, like, up the street. That’s it. How could I screw that up? Several times? Well, I made it to the store, which was super crowded. I grabbed some pants and jeans and a couple shirts that were too shiny not to try on. The first pair of pants fit perfectly. *le gasp* They actually looked flattering while also being comfortable. Not too tight, and not so loose I’ll need a belt. Sweet! I tried on the other stuff–none of it was right. I grabbed another batch of stuff to try on, still not right. But at least I had that one pair.

Then I get up to the counter, and it’s a good thing I did only find the one pair, because their credit card machines weren’t working and they could only take cash. D: Luckily, I had just enough cash to buy this one pair of perfect pants. (I think I might have flipped out, at least on the inside, if I had finally found pants that fit and looked good, only to be foiled by being cashless.) Then on the way home there was lots of traffic and a wreck and it took a lot longer to get home than it should have (though at least I didn’t go the wrong way that time -__-).

But I have pants I’m not ashamed to wear in public again. Pants without holes in them that aren’t also my pajama pants.

The end.
