No more smiling. And no more sheep.

Yesterday, I was walking home.
And I was wearing my sheep sweater. (I love that sweater, but it seems to draw a lot of attention to me).
It was a little late, and I passed by a guy, kind of thuggish, who was looking at me and saying something about sheep. I wasn't paying attention, because I was whistling the score to Pride and Prejudice. The one with Keira Knightly. I smiled at him.
This was a bad move.
Let me repeat that.
THIS WAS A BAD MOVE.
Thuggy McPatterson decided to try to get my attention for the next block. I just walked faster and didn't look back. He didn't follow, just yelled. Something about sheep. Very appealing.
Then I got on the subway and decided that I needed to stop smiling at people, so they would stop yelling at me. I'm too inviting, and this is not always a good thing in New York.
