I have recently come to the conclusion that a new thing has started happening to me in relation to trends.
Occurrence 1: i like something for a while, then i think it gets old, and suddenly it is really popular for the people around me.
Occurrence 2: i ignore the trend completely and later get sucked into it when it is no longer popular.
examples occurrence 1:
I liked Inu Yasha for a while it got old and suddenly EVERYONE in my school was talking about it. (this trend has faded)
I wore leggings under skirts with boots forever (still do) and suddenly now it is almost rare to see someone in a short skirt without leggings.
I liked the trans-siberian orchestra before they played on the radio all the time during the hoidays
I used ^_^ all the time typing and writing things, way before it became the new face to type (this trend has faded)
I watched and listened to Disney stuff way before the Disney radio and the new craze over *shudder* Hannah Montana
occurrence 2:
I completely ignored the harry potter phase, as i am now ignoring Twilight mania, and suddenly i have to pick up the stupid books and finish the series!
Why did i ever wait this long to buy a trench coat? it almost ALWAYS looks good
I still don't own a pair of converse and now i am craving a pair.
I am late on the whole powdered make up foundation thing, and it is a miracle for my skin.
conclusion:
ugh... it would be easier to be on the "trend train" that way everything would be cheaper to actually purchase all this stuff.
