| [from my interim Blurty journal] jeans |

i can't express how much i like wearing jeans.
i'm sure that sounds dumb, but the fact is that this pair i'm wearing now is only the 6th (give or take one) pair of my adult life, and all of those pairs have been within the last two years. In all the time growing up that i can remember (which is only from about 3rd grade or so on, and spotty at best), i had jeans once. it took forever to find a pair that vaguely fit in the store and they were a lot of money (or at least i was made to feel that way) and then upon attempting to wear them, i found them to be unwearably uncomfortable.
the result of that was not even trying to buy jeans until maybe a year and a half or two years ago, finding that i had to spend like $60 to get a pair that kind of fit okay (wearable, but i didn't think they looked good). they mostly sat in my closet.
but then i decided it was time to get into better shape and i set a goal of being able to buy jeans at sears (where Levi's don't cost $60) and i bought a stairmaster and i changed what i was eating and all (this is over the past year and a few months), and this summer, i finally fit in the sizes they have in sears.
and yet, i find myself wearing $15 Route 66 jeans from K-Mart rather than spending $30 on a pair at sears. why? because i've had to buy new pants every few months since i started losing weight and it's getting fucking expensive.
but it feels good to wear jeans and like the way they fit and like the way i look in them.
yeah.
