The unattainable, barely tangible vision of perfection. I bet you that ideal involves wearing a trillby, checked shirt and some really tight trousers........awesome.

No, that would be the opposite extreme, which is unsurprisingly ridiculous. | |

Ive found that if you go out of your way to be 'alternative' then your probably just another social chameleon, where as if you dont actively try to follow the trends, fucking relax, and just happen to like unusual clothing/music you are an individual, and therefore 'alternative'.
Or im just being a judgemental, pretentious, presumptious fuckwad, but that is how i roll. |
Haha - that's reminded me of when a couple of girls called you a ned when you were on your bike in Glasgow green a while back, haha!
