My Identical Eye Twin

[sistermagpie]

1. Bought ROTK:EE at video store.

2. Went to comic book store. Guy at counter reminded me Mike Lilly will be there tomorrow and he's giving out free bookplate sketches so I should remember to bring my Nightwing #100, which he knows I have.

3. Could not spoon the potatoes into my plastic container at deli because the steam kept fogging up glasses.

I figured there was only one more thing to complete the geekness, which was to write about these things in my blog. So here it is.

Also, possibly even dorkier,

My dentist had a cancellation, so I got a filling today. Remember that ep of friends where Joey thinks he's found his "Identical Hand Twin," a person with his exact same hands? Joey is amazed and thinks they should be able to make money with this somehow, and nobody else thinks it's interesting?

Well, today the dentist is working over me and I'm looking up at her and...she had my exact same eye color. I know that doesn't sound very exciting--but I have kind of unusual eyes! Not Mary Sue unusual in jeweled tones that a person would notice when talking to me, just...subtly unusual. Unusual enough that the rare times I've had to accurately describe them it was hard to do, and when somebody else offered to look at them and describe them they wound up saying they couldn't really say either because they were kind of weird. So the whole time she was doing my teeth I was gazing into her eyes wondering if I were really looking at my reflection in her plastic goggles. I wonder if she noticed or if she was just looking at my teeth. Or if she looked at didn't notice, or noticed and didn't think it was interesting at all. For all I know her entire family has the same eyes.

It's the stupidest thing in the world but it completely distracted me from everything she was doing to me.

My eyes change color! Well, actually I've ever seen them do it in the upstairs toilet of our old house, so I guess it was because of the light or something. The colour was a kind of shade of green, the one you'd expect a tropical sea be on a sunny day. Very jewel-like colour. It was kinda cool, because usually my eyes are a boring shade of greyish blue that everyone around here has.

That sounds pretty! I think all light-colored eyes change color sometimes--or look like they change color. Sometimes it depends on what you're wearing or the light or, like I said above, your eyes being bloodshot. It's only the Mary Sue's whose eyes literally change from one shade to another in this noticeable way, with each one prettier than the last. It reminds me of a doll I saw once with huge eyes where you could literally rotate her eyes to different jeweled colors.

Boring shade of greyish blue?! No such thing!

And your eyes sound rilly, rilly purty. Do they also have little specks or spots of brown/red in them? If so, they're probably hazel. If not, they're likely just blue.
