small midwestern town. Oddly, I got a certain amount of respect but it was a lonely existance. ANYWAY... probably the freakiest thing was a black victorian cape with a ruffly collar that I found in the attic - literally circa 1900 or so. It was about hip length, not any longer than the ponchos everyone was wearing at the time. It was the ONLY black thing I ever had or wore and really only wore it a few times one semester. . Decades later, I met someone who remembered me and said "oh youre the one who always wore all black" which was simply not true. It wasnt "always," and it never was "ALL" black!
