Glitter is the Herpes of the Craft World

I’m sure just about every person who has ever been alive in the last century has come in contact with glitter in one way or another. Maybe you’re the type of person who just absolutely loves glitter and uses it every chance you get. Perhaps you or a family member had to use it for a project. Or maybe you bought or tried on a piece of clothing with glitter on it. Whatever it is, virtually everyone has come in contact with glitter.

I find glitter extremely annoying. It’s extremely annoying when you’re have a conversation with someone, most likely a serious one cause that makes it even worse, and they stop you mid sentence to inform you that you have glitter on your face. Then you spend about 5 minutes swatting at your face all the while continuously asking the other person if you’ve gotten it and about the first 20 times that person replies no, you didn’t even touch it. Then the person goes into a long, drawn out description of the location of this contagion on your face followed by you not even touching it once again. It ruins everything that was happening previously. Whenever it happens to me, I forget the point I was trying to make and in what direction I was going with what I was saying. It just stops the flow of the conversation. In extreme cases, I get so frustrated that I can’t get this thing off my face that I have to storm off to the bathroom and look in the mirror to get it off. If not disposed of, many people all day comment on it and inform you several times of the terrible experience you’ve just gone through.

This could also be said about herpes. If you have herpes and tell someone, it kind of ruins the flow of what is happening and slash or disgusts the person so much they never want to talk to you again. The only thing about glitter is it’s shiny and pretty, whereas herpes looks really gross. I’ve seen picture in FACS class.
