I'm feeling metaphoric today...
I have never much been one for bandwagons. I don't like riding on them - they tend to be very crowded and noisy, usually occupied by an abundant supply of fools who haven't got the sense to be much more than lemmings following a trend right over the edge. Somtimes, the bandwagons are perfectly legitimate, but I am just so bandwagon-averse that I refuse to get on, simply on principle (examples: I have never seen Titanic, never watched Lost or Survivor, never finished reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People). I don't mind driving bandwagons, however. I rather enjoy doing that from time to time, actually. I get to pick out the truck, decide the route, set the pace...and watch the lemmings pile on. That is much more my speed. I just thought I'd mention that. I don't know why.

If only I could learn to be a driver of bandwagons! It is so funny that I read this today, because a girl at work tried to get us to wear pink today. I don't even own that many pink clothes, and the husband doesn't like it on me that well. But I have to go with my mood each morning, and I wasn't feeling it today. my co-worker was sad taht I didn't go along, but I told her that I set trends, not follow them. The male editorial assistant, however, totally played the game and wore a pink dress shirt. I pointed at him and said "Jaclyn tells YOU what to do!" He swore that he'd been planning to wear the shirt anyway. yeah, right. Now when I can get men other than my husband under that kind of control--then it's ON!
