Pete's Log: hanging at the mall

Entry #1085, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 23 years old.)

Beware world, Pete Rijks is an entirely new person. Due to the influence of Andy, I've realized that unless I'm wearing boots, Ankle Socks are the only real way to go. So I now own six pairs of ankle socks and will begin making those my primary sock variety. Ankle socks are far superior to other socks (unless boots are involved) ... first of all, they are more comfortable, second of all, your feet get less warm (which is probably the main reason they're more comfortable), and third of all, I think they look better when I'm wearing shorts. I think I have very sexy ankles.

Andy and I easily made it past 22:30 tonight. We went shopping at Meijer. Then we encounted a major rough period, but we escaped by going to the mall. We went to the mall with the primary goal of just hanging out there. I don't know if I've ever before just hung out at a mall. But I ended up buying ankle socks, so it turned out to be a practical mall trip after all. It was entertaining.

I have decided that I need to begin saving up a clothing budget. I really need a few good pairs of pants (I need to branch out from just wearing jeans) and I wouldn't mind picking up a few more shirts ...

I've been very emotional the past few days, ever since I showed up in Dayton, I think. It's been strange. I'm still dealing with it, but I've now found myself feeling very content. Which is good.

I think I've also begun feeling a greater appreciation for hugs.

I'm deliriously tired. I should quit before I start sharing more than I want to. Good night world!
