What's this about a photo of C.S. Lewis pinned to my shirt? Well...here...Megan decked out like the literature geek she is, but still looking the shiz. Awh yeah.
That old geezer on my shirt, is none other than the great C.S. Lewis. I parade him on my shirt because he and I are just that cool.
I am going to buy a few shirts, and we have stuff for making and printing iron ons from the computer, so I am working on some t-shirt designs. Probably a Lilith, a Perelandra, and a War of the Worlds shirt. Could you imagine? Oh sweet.
My mom called me a walking billboard, but I don't appreciate that. I don't think one is so grotesque, commercial, and conformist when they wear tees screen printed with semi obscure and well known science fiction/fantasy novels, or old ugly men whom they are genuinely interested in. (If you wear shirts with such on them, not knowing who or what they are, then you could say you are posing. Sometimes.)
It's ultimate geekdom. But no, I am not a poseur. I don't wear these things to impress people. Those are my interests, and well...I guess I want to wear them on my shirt. Anything wrong with that?
I should say no. So despite what my mother says, I am going to indulge in my literature printed tees.
