Dr Who = gateway drug to queerness WHO KNEW.

[slightlyfoxed]

There's an auction of Dr Who gear at Bonhams, stirring up childhood recollections.

ME: 'They've got Nyssa's plum velvet outfit. I wanted to be Nyssa when I grew up.
WORKMATE: I wanted to marry Nyssa. She was my perfect woman

Sometimes I definitionally discard the idea of a person fancying me because they're attracted to women...

I know at least two thus-far-only-attracted-to-women folk who fancy you something rotten. ;-)

Oh! That is cheering. I didn't mean to fish for complements. In a barrel. WITH DYNAMITE. I probably did. The id wants what it wants...

...and you see, I just did it again. I was thinking 'Dude, people who are usually only attracted to women fancy me, and I'm not a woman, so I must be, like extra-hot!'
(Not to knock the appraisal of woman-likers - just got confused.)

It's fortunate that I don't need to calculate this stuff at high speed...

Sometimes I definitionally discard the idea of a person fancying me because they're attracted to women, if I'm feeling particularly non-identical to women that week, and it takes a while to unpick and unpack it.

I like this definition. I often feel like that. I have also been *very* dismissive of the idea that people are attracted to me because they find me visually attractive, because I much prefer the idea that they like my awesome personality (har har). I latterly wondered if that was why stuff went to odd with my ex-fiancee - if he actually HAD got together with me because he thought I was cute and later realised he didn't really like me as a person, that makes the whole thing make a bit more sense.

Have you heard the new batch? 'Having a Hootenany' is ridiculously catchy.

I hadn't spotted that - very possibly. Thanks!
