So circa highschool, I adopted fake snobbery to compensate... problem is, while people who know me expect it and realise its a joke, people I just meet don't. So yeah. And considering she was watching us from across the street (where you couldn't hear us), and talked to me once my friend left, and since I'm half girl (my girlfriend will back me up on this) and therefore understand girl-speak (coz I use it, too... I always sucked at being a guy)... Many other such occurances, too... I just used this one as an example because I really WAS wearing a great outfit that day (light blue jacket, princess cut with a very tasteful embroidered floral print, wine colored t-shirt with an Alphonse Mucha design, creme colored Katharine Hepburn pants... very beautiful, really). (see... I'm a snob)

Once a friend and I were playing on Haight St. A group of really pretty hipster girls were watching us from across the street. When my friend walked away for a "quick break" (presumably to buy pot, as the Haight experience was new to him), one of the girls sat next to me and said "That's pretty". No response from me. "I like your outfit". I said "I do, too" and accidentally gave my patented annoyed-sneer then continued playing (it wasn't intentional - I just always come across as a snob). She looked embarassed and a little sad and walked away. The point of this? I'm way too snobby/disgruntled for groupies... even "groupies" who have too much self-worth and tact to be groupies.
