social experiement # 827

today i wore all black... black swishy pants, black sandals, black t-shirt, black pull-over hooded sweatshirt, black sunglasses... all black.

mostly because it was comfortable and it was a little chilly in the shade, nothing more.

however, i find it extremely amusing on days when i wear all or mostly black, the reactions that i get. (i used to wear lots of black a lot more often than even now... see below, picture of me from mid-9th grade)





so here's the rub... i find it funny that here are the reactions i got:
*leigh tells me that she thinks nothing of it unless i'm wearing a trenchcoat
*colleen tells me i'm fine if i wear all black because i look too friendly to be scary
*scott has no reaction whatsoever
*eric immediately goes "what on earth are you wearing?" and looks at me like i'm disturbed and has nothing more to say the rest of the day.

if i were wearing all blue or all red or all gray, there would be all scott's reaction -- i.e. none... what is it about black that freaks people out?

i find this highly amusing.

the end.
