January Theme: Who am I?

| The hat collection(well part of it) |
I only have one head, but I probably own close to fifty hats. My dad used to say something about having only one head so why did I need more than one hat. Of course he would also always ask if my shirt was waterproof, and then proceed to tell me: "Well, it should be because that hat sure is a pisser!"
I am pretty sure my obsession with hats happened when I was tiny. See, I have very Scandinavian skin; I am very white. With skin like mine, I have always joked that I just think about the sun and I get sunburned. My parents always had a hat on me to prevent such problems. I think I got used to it and it became a comfort to me.
If I am not working, I am wearing a baseball hat. I think partly this is due to comfort, but it also helps tame my naturally crazy(or curly) hair, and to be honest, I am lazy.
Why not wear it at work? Well, I can get away with it seeing I am the Physical Education teacher, but I still feel that I look a bit more professional when I am hatless. I often do wear one on Fridays when it is a more casual dress day.
While dating Reuben, he noticed all my hats hanging on the wall of my tiny living room. He asked: "What's up with all the hats?"
"I like to wear hats."
"Why don't you wear them then?" (He had never seen me with a hat on)
"Well, I didn't think it was cool for dating, I was trying to impress you."
"You should wear the hats."
And that was that. Reuben appreciated the fact that I am very, very low maintenance. I liked that he didn't care that I wasn't the girliest girl in the land.
He also bought and hung these fancy hat hangers. It is true love!
Each different section is a different type or category of hat. I am not that organized of a person, but I do like my hats (semi)organized.
There is the Dodger section(my favorite baseball team):
