pink dot

I used to say to a particular person "you're giving me the pink dot look." What I meant by this was that he would be looking at me as if I were a pink dot on a white page; it was not that he ignored everything else going on, but that, for him at that time, there was nothing else.

I want to be a red dot. Not feminine, necessarily- or at least not defined by my femininity- but strong, bold. Intrepid, to an intractable extent.
