Creative Minority Reader: Edgy Colleen Is Buying Some Pants

Colleen over at The Best Thing wants to be cool. She's thinking pants will do the trick.

*Sigh*

This is hard to write. It's embarrassing enough in itself, this story. But when I think of the fits of convulsive laughter that will be had by my mother when she reads this, it's almost too much to bear. But out of a desire to share laughter with others, even at my own stupid expense, I shall prostrate myself on the altar of comedy. I couldn't make this up if I tried.

I have two cool new friends, Jen and Alyssa. Alyssa is originally from California and Jen is originally from Long Island but is not very familiar with Pennsylvania. They came over to hang out with us one evening and asked me a self-image-shattering question-- if I were an Amish Escapee.

And they weren't kidding.
