Following the recommendation (LJ friends-only) given by Rory the other day, I’ve acquired the first few episodes of "Heroes." Anyone who fancies it ought to gather at The Cottage this evening and we’ll see if it’s any good (i.e. good enough to keep us amused in-between Crystal Maze Night and Troma Night, now there isn’t any American Dad, Drawn Together, or Studio 60 to keep us busy).
Day: 13 March 2007
Invisible Girl
Last night I met the most invisible person ever. She was sat in the Ship & Castle with some of the regulars when I introduced myself. "Yeah, we’ve already met," she said. Some way later into a conversation, we’d determined:
-
I’d seen her before at the Ship & Castle, and looked right through her.
-
She’d served me breakfast a few days ago, at the Treehouse.
-
And we did some voluntary work together when we were both students.
Even after all of this, I wasn’t sure I recognised her until I went home and found a photo with her in! I apologised profusely, but she genuinely didn’t care that she’s seemingly able to turn invisible: in actual fact, she seems to like and has come to expect it. We made a comparison to that Buffy episode where lots of people ignore this girl and she turns invisible and starts killing people. She promised not to start killing people. That’s kind-of reassuring. She doesn’t look particularly strong, but I don’t want to get on the wrong side of anybody who I can’t see.
Personally, I’d hate being so unobvious: I love being able to be "seen" when I want to be, so it was hard for me to understand the attraction. Perhaps she’s just resigned to it after decades of being ignored.
