i go through phases.

one day i'm feeling classy. the next i want to be a native american.
another day i'm feeling incredibly "hipster". on other days i want to be a hippie.

in my early teen years, "the awkward years" is what i like to call it, i had the worst taste in everything.
my clothes consisted of the ugliest apparel you could purchase from american eagle and old navy.
i loved mainstream music. too much.
i never did my hair. and if i did. it looked awful.
i was horrendously plump.

i like to keep this phase and mere blur in my past.
i was so awkward.

it wasn't until the end of tenth grade that i started morphing from chubby caterpillar to decent looking butterfly. but even then, i was still awkward.
my clothes got better. i thought before i bought.
i figured out how to do my hair.
i started playing lacrosse, so i was becoming less plump.
and i found music that fits me. (i'm a total indie junkie, but i'm down for anything, but country).
and now i feel like i've gotten myself under control.

but now to the actual point. i am currently going through a major 50s/60s/ sort of 70s phase, with a hint of native american. i'm dying to go to thrift stores and search for some cool clothes and nifty trinkets.
i just want to live in the 50s or 60s. the music, the clothes, the style, the boys. it's perfect.
i watched the sandlot and the sandlot 2 the other day. need i say more?
