It reminds me of a comment someone once made that I must be trying to draw attention to myself because I have long hair. It's a bit different from a kilt, at least in that it's there all the time. All the same, if I cut it I'd feel as if I were masquerading as someone else. I like being different, and I don't even want to be just like everyone else, but I'm actually slightly introverted and not in any way any kind of exhibitionist. Some people just don't get it, but I'm used to that.

I am not wearing a kilt right now, but I am wearing a pair of red leather shoes. Some people find those shocking, although heaven knows why. My wife can't understand why I bought them. IMHO, why restrict yourself to just brown or black shoes? That's boring. I like variety and choices, and some people don't. They prefer to wear what everyone else is wearing, have the same haircut, etc. Can't say I ever did. I like wearing bright colours, and have real trouble understanding why some people would rather restrict themselves to shades of grey and brown from head to toe. Or why they would want to wear trousers all the time?

It takes all sorts to make a world, that's what I've always believed.
