sorcyressSo, as some of you may know, Sorcy has a huge fascination with polyphasic sleep patterns, to the point where one of my 101 in 1001 goals is to spend a solid two months sometime in devoted non-monophasic sleep.
I've just thought of one interesting problem with sleeping at weird times: when do you get in your basic hygeine? This thought started just with when do you change your clothes, and spread to include things like showers and brushing teeth, etc.
Me and my fucked up monophasicish lifestyle make it a point to go through at least one full change of clothing in every twenty four hour period. Unlike virtually everyone I know, however, unless I'm dressing up for something, I usually tend to do this changing more in the evening, before hanging out with people. This came out of the fact that I pretty much sleep in whatever t-shirt and panties I was wearing the night before, and have no qualms about pulling on the same pair of jeans two or three days in a row. This means I ocassionally tend to get lazy, and just pull on jeans and throw on a bra when I wake up, especially if I'm running late and don't want to have to analyze an outfit1
Eventually, I will realize I'm wearing the same clothes I wore all yesterday, and then I will feel all gross and go take a shower and put on something clean. Of course, by that point, I'm not doing anything active and not really 'wearing' out my clothes, and so I just sleep in them and wear them the next day. Repeat.
(You must remember also, the Sorcy is -at the moment- almost nocternal. I have not fallen asleep before midnight in a heinously long time, and, when given the option, most days I wake up around noon or one. Next year and my four 9:30 AM mornings a week will change that, but for now, I like it. Butyeah, considering I don't even get up until the afternoon, I'm really not wearing out my clothes that fast anyways.)
Unrelatedly, I forget how much I adore mornings, because I never really see them. And by morning, I of course mean sunrise until about nine o clock --everything is so calm and peaceful and serene. It makes me feel at ease with myself.

MOOP!
1: Contrary to popular belief, I do not really just roll into my closet and wear whatever sticks. (Unless I'm running HEINOUSLY late) I actually put a painful amount of analyzing into what I wind up wearing, most of it really really stupid. While I can and do get away with the jeans and a t-shirt look on a daily basis, I tend to be picky as to what t-shirt I want to wear (I don't want to wear any of these! Where are my fen shirts, damnation?!).
This problem increases astronomically the second I have to dress up for anything. Hell, even going to SCD causes me to rummage through my wardrobe in a frenzied sort of manner, looking desperately for a 'good' (ladies cut, usually) t-shirt that'll not look too egregious with whichever skirt I'm going to wear. But when it gets to semiformal things, like classroom observations, where you want to look professional and adult, but not fancy? Oh jesus christ, I go into full blown panic mode.
In short....go see all of Jannyblue's rants on fashion. Mine tend to be pretty much exactly the same. Yep.

*selects her "If you don't talk to your cat about catnip, who will?" tshirt*
Sometimes having too much variety can be a problem >.>

How to dresslike a grown-up:
on 2008-05-07 10:08 pm (UTC)No looking at color. No looking at style. No looking at "OMG this is too low-cut!!!". All you're looking to see if "Does it physically fit you?" If it does, you buy it.
I used to add "look at the care instructions" to this process, but avoiding "dry clean only" is impossible, so I just wash 'em in cold on the delicate cycle and hang to dry. Works perfectly.
As for getting dressed, I essentially just close my eyes and grab one shirt and one pair of pants. All of my pants are plain black, and therefore they go with all my shirts.
I apparently have amazing fashion sense when I shop this way... I suppose not thinking is the best way to do something that's purely to impress the brain-dead "fashionistas".
