Seran wrap & such

Q: Have an imaginary argument with someone who hates you for a reason you can't control.

Apparently my imagination is shot tonight because as I think about a conversation in which a person was unfairly abrasive this is about all I can come up with:

Him (I'll just imagine it as a Him. A really skinny Him. 5'2'' eighty pounds with impeccable taste in clothes. My insulter is trendy, although on the wee side.) "What are you wearing?"

Me: "Seran wrap. It's a head band. I made it. Out of kitchenware And it's waterproof!"

Him: "It looks ridiculous."

Me: (Giving him points for at least saying ridiculous rather than stupid) "Well..."

Him: (Now furrowing his very tiny eyebrows down to his very tiny eyes) "Why would you ever wear that?"

Me: "Well..." (wishing I had a better vocabulary)

Him: "I hate you."

Me: "Oh. Well thank you." (Nice save, Amberlee. Always suave with comebacks.)

And there you have it. My make believe conversation with someone who hates me for no reason. And unfortunately I went through this very eccentric stage of making outfits out of things usually considered garbage and then wearing them. So yes, I have worn a seran wrap headband. I was young...

These were my special days.

  1. You didn't mention the twist ties, the zip-lock bracelets, the aluminum foil, or the paper clips! Those were magical times. You were so stylish!!

  2. I was. It's true. However, the ziplock bracelets were not me. I think you have me confused with someone else - didn't you do that?
