Second Looks
Looking closely at "Big Brother" with renewed eyes :
Infuriating movie-star looks. That appealing elongated, almost cuboidal head-shape. Mildly curled hair arcing naturally away from his spontaneous center parting to fall into two locks either side of his forehead.
Perfect eyebrows, set in an almost horizontal line. Beautiful oriental eyes, emphatically masculine but not overtly severe. Gentle brown irises hinting at a quiet soul within. That most un-oriental, square, chiselled jaw and strong chin that his female classmates must once upon a time have swooned over. Lips set naturally in an easy-going smile.
Broad shou...
eh!! hang on. Facial hair. He doesn't have a single mis-placed facial hair!! No hair growing out between the eyebrows. Not a sliver protruding from his cheeks!!
Arrrgh! Edward must be right!

Paranoia
Leaving the house for dinner, he puts on his grey dress shirt and looks about for a pair of trousers to go with it.
Eh? Where are my black trousers. No black trousers. Oh well, there's blue jeans... But they don't match. Nope, not colour co-ordinated, must find black trousers. Where are those trousers dammit, can't leave the house witho...
ARGH! How much does that rank on the gaydar scale??! I'm colour-matching! hyperventilate.
Puts on the blue jeans.
Groan. It looks awful. Goes out. Swagger. Remember to swagger. That'll make it all okay.

Somedays I'm convinced I must be clinically insane. Or maybe just manic depressive. Checks - not feeling manic at the moment.
