everyone is doing it
The scene: half past noon at the giant student center. I'm in line at the Einstein's bagels. because I have magical hearing (seriously, it's my superhero skill since my vision is terrible) I overhear the following at the Campus Atheist, Skeptics, and Humanists booth directly across.
Girl 1: "Ew, God, Uggs are so ugly."
Guy 1: "I know, they think they look cute, but they're hideous"
Guy 2: "Yeah, it's like the sorority girl uniform"
Girl 1: "They're all the same breed of people, dumb sorority girls."
Well, you all know I was not going to have that. I walked over (not in Uggs, mind you) and went directly up to the booth and sweetly said,
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm in a sorority, and the comments you made are offensive."
Alas, and then the Minnesotan guilt sets in.
Girl 1: "I am so, so sorry!"
Me: "Just remember it's a stereotype, and you wouldn't want me to judge you*."
Sike.
Today I bought some True Religion skinny jeans to wear specifically with my Uggs. Uggs are kind of like judgment, everyone is doing it.
*horror of horrors: I lost respect for that campus club.
THAT'S FUNNNNNNY. I wish I could have been there. I miss you terribly, more than terribly, infinetly.
P.S. You wear those UGGS girl. If anybody can make ugly, cute, it's you darling.
P.S.S. I bet you look ill in skinny jeans. Pains me to even think about it. Work it.

Girl, that's freaking awesome. You're my hero today. Way to stand up for yourself, and everyone who wears those Greek letters. It's so hard sometimes to speak up when people are doing wrong sometimes.

Good for you! It is too bad more people don't stand up for themselves. And you'll have to post a pic of your Uggs :).

Good for you sticking up for yourself! Hope they were embarrassed.
