ahahahah, geektastic!

So on my way into work today I acceed to the reality that I simply can't wear high heels and correct this problem with my knees and fencing anymore and buy myself a pair of knee-high boots that aren't heeled. You'll still see my in heels for special occassions and acting stuff but never day to day ever again I don't think, sadly.

Anyway, I get on the subway to come to work, and crack open Kushiel's Dart (which continues to be waaaay better than it has any right to be), and read until I get off at my stop. And realize I don't have my cellphone. Fuck!

Oddly certain I've left it on the bench on the platform, I get back on the train and go up to my stop, stopping to call it from a payphone -- no answer. Get to my stop. No phone. Ask at the booth, no phone. Am filled with woe because what an expense for this time of year.

So I figure, screw it, I'll call the phone one more time, eventhough the other times I've lost cell phones this has failed (once a guy said he would only give it back if I fucked him; another time whoever had it didn't answer and then ran up a huge bill to Ecuador before I cancelled it).

I call it. Someone answers. I left it at the shoe store. So I run over there to get it, and in my excitement and the fact that I've been immersed in Kushiel's Dart on this roundtrip subway extravaganza to try to keep my mind off my intense stupid, I blurt out "Elua keep you," as I grab the phone and dart out _back_ onto the damn subway.

Ah well. Almost done with this one, so I'm sure I'll have some new literary infection to plague you all and poor innocent shoestore women with soon.

tall boots unheeled/low heeled? Do you mind if I ask where you found those and if they are online? kingdom_key1 has said she used to have a pair of similar boots, but I believe they came above the knee, and would like to find another pair...

They are below the knee, and, absurdly, from Payless (although since when are shoes at Payless $35?). They look really good though and fit my sort of general ongoing aesthetic.
