People were staring at me on Thursday. Two cars honked while passing me on the street. This is not normal, and I am trying to account for it without much success. I was wearing jeans with a pink t-shirt, black tank, and black vest over the top. None of this was revealing in any way. I had my hair back in a ponytail. I did my make-up. There was nothing especially out of order about it.

Possibilities:
1) I was self-conscious about wearing something I would have usually worn with a jacket, or something else over the top, so I was more likely to notice when someone looked at me.
2) There was something off about me that people were drawn to look at, but which I didn't notice.
3) There was a quantum leak in the multilayered "attention field", which caused it to shift, momentarily, to bring focus on me.
4) Inexplicably, I looked nice.

...I think I'm going with #3.

Oh, also, I've written Red Dwarf fic...but not the one I mentioned working on before. It's over here at reddwarfslash  if you'd like to read it (though it's not particularly slashy, more of a character study).

Number three is much more interesting, but I rather think it was number 4, since that sounds like a rather nice outfit :3

I think certain people sometimes get inclined to honk at anything female, for some weird masculine motivation. Or maybe you just looked good!

That was a nice little fic. I loved the chart! I also liked the philosophical musings, even if Rimmer quashed the discussion.

(I haven't read much RD fic, and really should dive into it.)

Thanks! Rimmer/charts = OTP? Hee.

I also liked the philosophical musings, even if Rimmer quashed the discussion.

In my head the philosophical musings went on for much longer, but I knew Rimmer wouldn't be having it because he'd be too worried about the answer.

Yay, I have a new ship! Hehe.

One of the things I really like about RD is that if, in between laughs, you start looking at the characters' situation seriously, it becomes very sad. Poor guys. (Esp Rimmer, who's my favourite.)

I've been on the receiving end of this so many times . . . times like when I have zippo makeup on & really, really need a hair washing. I would go with three, perhaps? (but I'm sure you looked lovely nevertheless!)

(& WHOA, that there be a HOT dress Tegan's sporting in your icon. :D)
