Fantastic Four - Plus One

The Invisible Woman

I never thought that i'd be cut out for a life saving the world - but, with my new talents, i think that i could have a new career. Maybe, at the ripe old age of eighteen, it's about time for a new path in life. I think i could do some good in the world, with my new superpower.

No, i'm not insane. No, i don't actually think that i've been given the power of invisibility. But, based on the activities of recent nights, i think i can quite possibly have a back up career if i ever need one. If not as the newest member of the fantastic four, then maybe as an undercover detective? They always need to blend into the shadows. Or maybe i could be a spy? I think an exciting life of intrigue lies ahead of me.

Still not sure what i'm talking about? I'll fill you in. Last tuesday night, at the Ed, the girls and i made an unsettling discovery. I was completely ignored by three people. Not just strangers, but people i actually know. BB, Pi and RandomBen. I'm talking complete and utter cold shoulder. It was as if i didn't exist. Then, i get knocked against a wall in a bar fight, as if the guys hadn't even seen me. I tried to think nothing of it - until it happened again on thursday night! Once more was i the invisible woman. Granted, George polled the audience and the Irishman and the Chief said that they could see me, the Irishman emphatic on this point.

So maybe i'm only invisible to certain people in large groups? Or maybe only to people who have a mean enough streak to ignore someone in the first place (the people who i, with my impeccable taste, am generally crushed to be ignored by)? It's a tricky thing.

On the odd occasion, i'm not ignored - i'll give you the example of the ManChild. While i wasn't ignored at the time, i was ignored post-meeting. Maybe i'm subject to selective-ignoring? It's all rather complex. I'm not quite sure how to reverse this problem... but give it just a little time and i'm sure i'll find a way around being ignored.

I'm nothing if not persistant.

Though it could severely hamper my chances of fighting crime...
