Recently, I have come to the conclusion that I am doomed to be hip until I get fat. Perhaps "get fat" isn't the appropriate term, but until I can buy pants with a size 30 waist and not have to worry about pulling them up every two seconds, I have to buy my jeans from places like American Eagle or the Gap. The very idea that I have to buy my pants at these places isn't bad, I'm just saying I'm doomed to be dressed like a teenager/twenty-something until my waist looks more like that of a thirty-forty-something.
