Wow. G and I went to the mall to see a movie on Friday (thanks to her mom babysitting), and I saw someone who was either truly expressing themselves in a unique way, or sporting the fashion of a sub-culture I’d not seen. It appears that the pirate look is in.

Sorry for the bad picture, but the cell phone only goes so far. Notice the boots, the sash (that’s it dragging to the ground), the bandanna on the head, the billowy shirt (which was open down to near his navel)….

Now I wonder if high school “pirates” are like high school goths. Do they sit around and go “arrrgh matey” like high school goths talking about how much they want to be vampires?
(No offense to my goth friends, I am referring to the immaturity of high school not the sub-culture itself)

Seeing this I suddenly felt out of touch. I felt this huge gap between me and those that are in high school. Damn it I felt old!
