Suits

First things first - I have heard the Mysterious Singingz a few times since my last blog, but unfortunately haven't gotten any closer to solving the mystery. Meanwhile, I shall tell you a story about a guy on campus who Jen and I had dubbed 'suit guy.'

We are so creative.

The reasoning behind that moniker is that he always wears suits. Well, almost always. Most days he's wearing a suit - he has a million - and then once or twice I've seen him in jeans and a T-shirt, and it's always weird when that happens. He has long curly hair in a ponytail and is just all around quite a character.

Well, today when Jen and Shan and I were at breakfast, we were discussing what the reasoning could be behind his suit-wearing tendencies. Jen and I were trying to convince Shan what the merit would be to just asking him. Our reasoning was that it pretty much had to be an exciting answer, like "Suits were on sale and this is all I own," or "God told me to wear suits to prepare for judgment day" or "I go to a funeral or a wedding every single day." We couldn't think of a single boring reason to wear a suit every day.

Finally, I convinced Jen to go and ask him - he was in the dining hall, sitting alone, and Jen is the type who will just go up and sit down and say "So, why do you wear suits all the time?" Here is a transcription of the conversation as Jen described it to us afterwards:

Jen: Hello! I see you around a lot and you're always wearing a suit. I was just wondering why you always wear suits?
Him: When you look this good in a suit, why wear anything else?
Jen: Alright!
Him: I'm Jared.
Jen: I'm Jen!
*a handshaking commences*

See? We knew it would be an interesting response! And what a great answer that was, honestly. I'm still not quite sure it's the real reason he wears suits all the time, but I really liked his answer!

What a character, indeed.
