Should I wear a collar?

I mismatch socks, but only because I don't pair them when I do the laundry nor look into the spooooky dark sock drawer when I pull out what to wear.

see back in 5th grade I was doing it on purpose because it was the early 90s and it actually was stylish to wear two different colored socks that both matched the outfit you were wearing.

I also wore slap bracelets and asked my mom for a SNES for Chirstmas because all my friends were asking for one too.

but as the years went on and the style died out (because it was a stupid style) I remained wearing matching socks because I didn't ever feel like matching them. now most of my socks are the same color. I still don't really match them up, but there is a smaller chance I'll end up wearing miss-matched socks

Aww.. I have almost always worn mismatched sox. Well, SORT of.. See when I buy socks (like, every 3 years or something) I buy 15 pairs or something at the same time. I make sure I get the same socks, but in a different print or color etc. So the socks were the /same/ but one ankel would have "tinkerbell" and the other ankle would have "Wendy" (for example).

I have no idea why I started doing this, but I keep doing it our of habit. Also, its almost worth it for those rare times people actually /notice/ my socks don't match and say something witty like "Hey, your socks don't match dickhead".. so I can reply "Why I believe they match just perfectly. I believe thay match so well, in fact, that I have another pair just like these at home."

I usually just pull on the cleaneset socks I can find, matching or no!

...Unless the socks are part of the outfit, that is 8)

If you do... realize that some people in "alternative" lifestyles might assume you're a collared submissive.

If you already have a girlfriend, wear it. If not, don't push your luck.
Or was it otherwise?

"Should I wear a collar"?

How crazy can there titles be?

It should be "Should I, or should I not, wear a collar around my neck, and if so, for precisely what reasons?"

Long and to the point.

how about getting some referencing going on?

To collar or not to collar?

I have been wearing "dog chain" (the military sort, not as in for leashing pets) around my neck, really quite short, with a hand crafted hexagram on it, personally made for me by Kerry Culkin (Aussies know who she is) since my 21st birthday.

Its wierd. I said "aww.. this is great, but I cant stand things around my neck". Yet, this ONE thing.. on dog chain bought from an army disposal store, has never bothered me in the slightest. In fact, I feel uncomfortable if I am NOT wearing it. I can't even wear T-Shirts if the neck is round and/or too small. the feel of something rubbing against my neck irritates the hell out of me.

I have no idea what this alternative stuff is you are all talking about. I am probably better off tho, right?

I keep having neck-stuff phases. For a while, I wore a necklace that I braided myself out of some craft stuff I bought at a county fair; that lasted until I got tired of it, and then I went for about three years with nothing around my neck beyond a shirt collar. Senior year of high school I wore a dog-tag chain with a CTR ring on it until it gave me a rash ... then my freshman year of college I wore a thin leather arrowhead necklace that a friend gave me for a graduation present. And now, thanks to a policy from my summer job about only metal necklaces being allowed, I've lost the necklace habit again.

What an unusual policy. Where do you work, and why do you think that such a policy exists?

I worked at an amusement park that had just changed hands. The previous owners had been pretty slovenly about some aspects, and the new owners wanted to show everyone just how good they were by comparison. So their dress code was pretty stringent as far as what could and couldn't be worn, showing tattoos, piercings, facial hair, etc. (which wasn't much of a change for me, seeing as I attend a school with a dress code pretty much like that anyhow.)

The original policy was "no necklaces made of natural materials," which I'm guessing was mostly a ban on hemp necklaces and all they stood for ... but you know how people are with loopholes, so rather than put up with people slipping around the rules, they just plugged the pinhole with a boulder.
