Walking around the city one day there was this girl walking up ahead of me and I was checking her out. And I mean, totally checking her out; the lascivious, objectifying, mental undressing for which I or any other cad should be rightly reprimanded. I like to think I'm not often so blatant, that I keep my wolfish chickspotting more subtle and low-key, but, for some strange reason, on this one afternoon I could not help myself. Walking behind this girl I'm sure I looked like the most pathetic and ill-mannered yah-dude asshole cliche, running my eyes up and down every inch of her curvaceous figure. Then she turns, sees me and says "Hi Michael!" and oh my god I know her, we've been friends for years. I'm absolutely mortified, blushing furiously and desperately trying not to show it, trying to keep up a conversation and not stare at her boobs.

Sometimes I'm such a jerk it astounds me.

I think you need to upgrade your ass recognition software...

Was it someone you fancied before or was this a seeing-in-a-new light sort of thing?

She's always been extraordinarily beautiful, my rude behavior was just momentary stupidity on my part. I think it may have had something to do with her wearing street clothes at the time. When I see an attractive someone at the club or on the street in goth gear or some other interesting or creative ensemble, I identify them as part of our tribe and I appreciate them for their fashion sense (as well as their hot body). Normal people I don't know, they can just be meat objects. This isn't to say that I elevate myself and all my friends above the rest of society (ok I do but that's not the point), maybe it's just easier to objectify a person when you don't know them and you think you have nothing in common with them.

Several years ago I was visiting some friends in NYC. We were in the village wandering around when we see three goths walking toward us. One is a girl in a plaid mini-skirt. We said, "Wow. She's kind of cute." As we walked, I thought, wait a second. I know her. We dated at the end of one summer! It was good to catch up and meet her current boyfriend. :)

This is why God invented sunglasses. And this is why I wear them.
