Aye. I don't really think of myself as a tall person but I get comments everywhere I go. I feel like I have some sort of reverse insight into the world of midgets.
On a separate topic, does anyone here notice that twice as they get twice as many glances from the opposite sex when they actually make the effort to look pretty? huh?
People have stared at me for as long as I can remember. It's gotten to the point now where I find myself really weirded out and slightly uncomfortable when I'm in a place where people DON'T stare at me. Like, right now, I'm in Austin and there are lots of different kinds of people here. And none of them stare at me. Which I really like, it's like a load off my back, but at the same time, it feels so different.
So fucking what, I see these sorts of errors in posts all the time but I don't go out of my way to point them out. I can barely see through my hayfever ridden eyes. The meaning is easily discernible.
You see Facey, if it were the vast majority of other posters I'd not point it out and guess that they had just screwed up. But with you, because I think you're a right clever guy I'm more inclined to think that I've made the error than you.
Its either modesty or mistrust that makes that hard to believe...if you're being serious then thanks, I think you are as well. Sorry for my little spaz. I merely fucked it up. My head is about as clear as fog right now.

Fair enough. Then to answer your question I'd say that if I'm thinking I look good for whatever reason I'll tend to keep an eye out for who is noticing me. Vanity at its finest. The result tends to be that I notice more people staring. Not necessarily that there are more people staring.
Thanks Cate, I think you are as well and not because you said it to me first. If that makes sense. I am just not used to enthusiastic compliments being a solemn and sarcastic soul myself.
