I'm in love with a shoe

[Snoggera]

Yes. I'm in love with a shoe.

If anyone has a problem with that, then they can......well, you know.


What are you in love with?

[TrogL]

1. An organ

[Dookus]

2. I'm in love with an Amish boy...

I'm very conflicted

[Snoggera]

5. Let My Hamsters Live Free!

or at least, give them cpr!

life is good!

[Unperson 309]

18. Get The Ones With The ankle strap and...

cut the ankle strap off. Treat the exposed leather with black fingernail polish (wet'N'Wild at your local drug store. 99 cents) and you have your shoes.

The missus does it all the time.

4. Wish I were in love with a shoe

but instead I am in love with Starbucks Almond Fudge Coffee icecream.

But back to shoes. I am looking for a pair of shoes. I need them to be black, a lowish heel, closed toe and sling back.

Now, you'd THINK that would be fairly easy to find, right?

Oh HELL no. Everything I have found has been like this:

1. Toe is SO damn pointy I could use it as a weapon. "Oh yeah, voting for bush, eh? Well TAKE THIS!" and shove it in their eye, straight through to their brain, a la Single White Female. No thanks my toes hurt just looking at that Extreme Pointy Shit.

2. The sling back part has this huge leather part that goes all the way around the ankle or laces around the leg or some shit. I am wanting to wear the shoes to work and I do NOT work as a dominatrix, ok?

3. The heel. Can we let go of the huge clunky 70s heel, for the love of all that is good and holy? Sure 13 year olds LOVE 'em, but let's let this go now. Kitten heels and clunky platform heels should not exist in the same universe, ok?

Ok rant done. Going to yet another five shoe stores tomorrow in the eternal quest.

6. I think for you

maybe you should try to have a relationship with some simple sandals. They may become your best friends. Give it a chance!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

11. Oh I GOT simple sandals

simple sandals I got, baby.

But I need these shoes I described for a new job I am starting next WEEK. I have to be a bit dressier than I was in my old position (same employer, but a promotion) and I NEED THESE SHOES DAMMIT!!!!

I am going to go postal if I don't find them. I live in a MAJOR METROPOLITAN area for Christ sake.

[Snoggera]

16. Maybe you should take a long turtle breath

and thank the buddha turtles for you good fortune. No anxiety!

Good luck!

edit: I meant a long turtle bath.

[Political_Junkie]

7. I feel for you, MS,

hate the new shoe styles. They look like what I wore when I was 10.

[EstimatedProphet]

8. I love goooooooolllllld!

[Deja Q]

9. I am in a love triangle:

Myself
My right hand
My left hand

Hoo-boy, this puts the thread in a new perspective... :scared:

[Snoggera]

12. Shoe had to say it!

Yep! Shoe had to say it!

Shoeey shame on you!

[Droopy]

15. I've got the same thing going on HypnoToad

It's been nine fucking years already. I think I make it into the record book for most celibate man without trying. Nine goddamned years!

[Nevernose]

10. I have a box turtle that lives inside a shoe

Does that make me bisexual?

[Snoggera]

13. Only the turtle knows

and, do you have the courage to find out?

Ask the wise turtle.

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Can't help, lovin' that man of mine....

Really cannot help it!!!

[BeatleBoot]

17. A Shoe Horn For Me!

But I can't get a note out of it!

Maybe if I changed the strings?

19. Is it common for treefrogs

to have intimate relations with footwear? Do those sorts of relationships usually work out?

By the way, I once knew a pigeon that used to have love affairs with people shoes. If you were standing around and he liked your shoe, he would just fly over and start making love to it.

[Snoggera]

20. I believe it is

Who can ask or answer why? It just is.

Work out? I think they do for as long as it is a relationship that is comfortable.

I feel sorry for pigeons.

[SarahB]

21. I hope you two are happy together.

Don't be ashamed of your shoe love. Embrace it for the joy your shoes give you. It really is a beautiful thing. :D

[Snoggera]

22. True happiness occurs so seldom

that when it does, there are many who are jealous. Thank you for your understanding!

[SarahB]

23. I'm still jealous.

I need some new shoes. I just would hate to begrudge anyone else's shoe joy despite my life's pain. :nopity:

[Snoggera]

24. Just remember the old saying

When a shoe comes to you
You do what you have to do.
(and the shoe does too)

words to live by.
