Well, I really told her because...
Actually. Thats a good question. I guess its really just due to the act that I am a very open person, and I express myself quite explicitly. Exemplified by my hair, collar, the chained sweatshirt, etc. Thus, I naturally wanted to speak with her on the subject of my collar, as it was the newest piece added to my 'look' and had a desire to have some support from my imediate family.
Thank god I didn't tell my IRL friends
That would have been... Dangerous.
Druggy would have laughed at me
Rave-boy would have stared, and then said something irrelevant
Dumb N' Narrow would have laughed and laughed and then shouted it out to the world
- Makes me wonder why I bother with these people
