W - Wolf Shirt

Wolf Shirt: thing, trend

The kids these days, apparently, are into Wolf Shirts. I'm pretty sure I had an actual non-ironic wolf shirt in the mid 90s: black, with a wolf howling at some stars with some purple aurora borealis action. Or a guy I knew did, I don't remember. It might still be in the T-shirt archives back home.

S - Sweater

Sweater: thing, clothing

I have a decent number of sweaters. Most of them are blueandbrowne, including an argyle sweater-vest, a zippered sweater (gift from my sister) and one with a half-zipper (also from my sister). The zippered one, while not a cardigan, makes me feel like Mr. Rogers, because I often put it on to lounge around the house.

My sister also gave me an awesome tealandbrownandyellow sweater this year, and a sweater with Bert (of "Ernie and" fame) on it. My sister has an agenda to keep me in sweaters.

I have a heavy navy blue sweater on my chair at work. It's been there for like 3 years (just in case), I think gravity + the chair back have made it permanently deformed.

Also, sweaters (unless they are gaudy, or ironic) almost always add to (and very rarely subtract from) a woman's attractiveness (attention ladies: I don't care about your shoes, or your handbag. Glasses and Sweaters, that's where it's at)

S - Socks

Socks: thing, clothing

I prefer black socks to other shades. Unfortunately there are Fashion Rules that prevent me from upgrading to only owning black socks. Also, I am not Neil Gaiman.

I tend to wear white socks when working out. I have a pair of socks that I borrowed from my Grandpa. They were so big, I ended up using them as my special field hockey socks because they fit over my shin guards.

I once spent 9 dollars (!) on a pair of UnderArmor socks, because it was crucial that I had a pair of Red socks and they were the first ones I found.

This is not about baseball.

R - Ring

Ring: thing

Right around the time I started reading Lord of the Rings, I got a cool "Birthday Present": a silver ring with a large Amethyst (my birth-stone) and a leaf pattern. I mostly kept it in a small leather pouch around my neck.

I have trouble wearing rings, mostly because I tend to fidgit with them and worry about them catching on things.

Now I mostly want a real actual Green Lantern ring (but in my imagination). I do have a complete set of the Blackest Night promotional rings on my desk, and I wear them depending on my mood.

H - Hats

Hats: thing

I like to wear baseball caps sometimes, but not often. I like the brims on the flatter side rather than the more curved side, and I like them with adjustable sizing, not fitted. The best baseball-style cap I've ever had was a green corduroy Hartford Whalers hat. I lost it at Pike Lake Golf Course.

Winter hats make my head itchy and never cover my ears enough unless they have ear flaps. I like them a lot though, especially with ear flaps and tassels.

In my younger years I had a lot of Bula brand hats. They had really cool crazy patterns, colors and shapes.
