The Awesome Socks Win Again
So I have these awesome socks. They're black and white and blue and lavender and stripey, in a kind of understated and yet still whee! kind of way, and I only wear them for awesome days when I need luck or skill or extra awesome so as to conserve their superpowers. 'Cause they make me feel cool, and you can't really overstate the power of that.
Today I had a brunch date with a friend I haven't seen in something like 12 years (who I ran into completely randomly at Worldcon of all places, and we thus made plans to get together now that her thesis is written), and I reached for my awesome socks, and then went, "Self, does this day, which is fairly laid-back and contains no expectations upon your person, really merit awesome socks?" And then I figured eh, screw it, I want to be awesome today. Just 'cause.
Socks win again.
Brunch was awesome, and friend and I probably get along even better as grownups than we did at 15 or thereabouts, which is really neat and smiley and cool. And since it was a lovely sunny crisp fall day and I was already on Spadina, after brunch I walked down to the bookstore for Violette Malan's signing and hung out for an hour or two. Picked up both The Windup Girl and Octavia Butler's Fledgling while there. And then I wasn't finding myself quite ready to go home, so I tucked into Tequila Bookworm, got an avocado-asiago-walnuts-stuff salad and some fresh lemonade, and knitted in the sunshine until I ran out of sunshine.
Best thing? I have all week to do stuff like this. Because I'm on vacation this week.
Hee.
And now I'm home and still a little peckish, and there's hockey on, so I think I'll turn that up and fix a pot of soup or somesuch and just roll in my awesome day a little bit longer...
