"Hi," I said, "Could I please have some cheese for my burger?"
The guy by the grill looked me up and down and then laughed.
"I appreciate the irony in your shirt," he said.
Confused, I pulled at the sleeve of my maroon sweatshirt.
"Oh," I said, "it's really comfy."
The cafeteria guy gave me my slice of American cheese and I moved on. After a moment, though, I realized what had happened.
That afternoon, I was wearing the same sweatshirt that I was wearing in this (extremely flattering) picture:
I'm not a vegetarian anymore. Haven't been for about four years. However, I still wear this sweatshirt on a very regular basis because, as I told the grill guy, it's really comfortable.
(Me, moments before ending my vegetarianism by eating a live cat.)
