The story begins when Jen took me out shopping a couple weeks ago, in an attempt to help me give my wardrobe a makeover. I came home with quite a bounty of tops, bottoms, and even one accessory. However, I haven't had many chances to wear these wonderful new articles because I've been so busy with work and moving.
Tonight, however, I got back from work in time to go see "The Native Tongues", which is an fantastic "reggae band" based in Osaka. I put quotes around that because it seems like every show I see them play has less and less actual reggae and more and more pop, jazz, rap, funk, r&b, and metal, and only a token few reggae songs. :) Not that it detracts from the fun at all. They did a great fusion of US3's "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" and Bananarama's "Venus" that got the whole house on their feet!
I've seen this band perform several times, and the reason for this can be seen in the following Venn diagram, illustrating band membership:
But I digress. The reason I mention this is that tonight was at last an opportunity to wear something from my new wardrobe in public. I wasn't sure what sort of reaction to expect... a couple people complimented me on my shirt. A couple people were like, "hmm...", and then I ran into an ex-girlfriend. She came up to me from across the bar with a genuinely concerned look on her face, like she was worried about me.
"So, um... how come you're dressed like you're gay?"
Haha, thanks, Jen. :P

sorry about that dude...
I laughed outloud in an empty room..like an evil laugh sort way when I read that...
but really...sorry dude...I said I like preppy..and some ppl think that's gay...
BHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Just for the record, it wasn't one of the preppy shirts. It was the skin-tight one with the chains and the leather laces up the front. :P
Don't remember the shirt, but your description sounds pretty gay...
You know what would be gay? If I remembered the shirt.
I was about to comment that I seem (strangely) to have had several conversations about homosexuality recently, and then I realized it's only two, and Sumiko was behind both of them.
BHAHAHAHAHA!
