so i went kilted to school for the first time this schoolyear (my kilt's been getting repaired...time for a new one, but thats a different story). anyway, it was an interesting day. of course, i got some of the natural snickering from some of the more ignorant folk...though its funny: ive never really realized that *so many people dont know what a kilt is*. i figured people were just being a-holes, but i suppose one has to take into consideration that if someone doesnt know what a kilt is (given that it is kind of sad that we are such an egocentric nation that we are ignorant of many other cultures, they're going to naturally assume that one is cross-dressing. ridiculous notions, of course. wouldnt be caught dead in ladies' clothing! but i mean, i was randomly walking next to this girl in the hallway, and she said "are you wearin' a skirt?", and it hit me. so instead of my usual, "uhhh, its a kilt, thanks", i said "do you know what a kilt is?" "no" and then i went into a little spiel about bagpipers and such. so who knows? maybe that's one more educated person. good for society. but beside that, i dont think i've ever gotten so many positive compliments in my life, not to mention people trying to look up my kilt...but again, different story altogether . but the creme du le creme (french? haha) was when i was walking toward a group of fairly attractive underclassmen girls and they just all kind of stopped and gaped and were like "oh my God! that's incredible!" and one of them went on to say, "its funny, it looks almost like our old school uniform...nonetheless, it looks sexy on you". hey, if that's a back-handed compliment, i'll take it!

so sorry for the length, but ya know, i had a good day!

and i dont mean to sound like i'm bragging, but i'm sayin, when one of us gets a compliment, it's a compliment to all us kilted men!
