i have a pair of yellow shorts.

it's (they're??) the only piece of yellow clothing that i have, which sometimes i think is sort of odd since in high school our colors were navy and yellow, gold ostensibly, but it was always bright yellow. but then it's not really odd, because navy is such a good dominant color and bright yellow is best served as a trim. since i've got quite a few articles of clothing emblazoned with my school's name on it, call me nostalgic, i've got tons of navy stuff with yellow letters, trim, whatever.

so anyways, these yellow shorts i've had since twelfth grade. they were sort of part of the school-issued football uniform. on days we didn't practice in pads we'd all have to wear the same t-shirts and shorts, which i always found curious, i think it was a racket the coaches had going with some supplier of some sort because we all had to pay like thirty bucks for two t-shirts and a pair of shorts. in any case, the shorts seem to have reached the end of their life span which is a shame, because they were mesh, and they were comfortable, so comfortable, in fact, that i wore them to bed.

so now i'm faced with the task of finding a replacement, because i will not, not sleep naked, i had a roommate who did that once and it was gross, grosser than gross, in fact. it's a bigger deal than one might think, because dressing for sleep is way different than dressing for anything else. i've never gotten into the whole pj thing, at least not for sleep, i got some flannel pj bottoms i'll wear around the house if it's chilly, but other than that, i'm not really a fan.

and as much as i liked the yellow shorts, i won't contribute to the racket again.
