Today, as i'm sure someof you have noticed, I attract alot of attention. My hair is not only green but is sticking straight up in a 6inch tall mohawk. I get some looks. and i get some comments... like this guy in the hallway that made me feel like an idiot.
He was a freshman (I could tell because he was half my size, had no facial hair and his voice was still a little squeaky) he said:"What's up, MAN?" His girl friends watching gasped in shock and awe. OMG (they were thinking) He's talkin' to that trans freak! I couldn't help but let a huge grin spread across my face. You could literally see all of my teeth. I kept walking... turned around (still walking - now backwards) and yelled "THANK YOU!"
What?
What did I say?
Why did I say "thank you" to "what's up, man?"
>.> umm... I feel like an idiot.
now this freshman thinks I'm completely incompetent...
and I probably spelled that wrong XP
anyways..
I said "Thank You" because that boy has no IDEA what the word "man" means to me. Even if it was just an accident or an insult or a conversation starter... IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME <3
Interesting ending...yet I understand. If you ask me, he is an idiot for making a judgment based on external trappings. He is missing out on knowing a creative, intelligent, kind of quietly funny person. You have to know that when you dress different from the norm, that is going to happen. You have a great spirit and unique sense of individuality. I have always admired how you hold true to who you are. I will go back and read some of your earlier blogs later this week.
