Winter Break is Here....

Hi, world.
An entire week has gone by, and NOTHING worth posting about has happened. It was 16 degrees every morning. Stuff froze, including the bay. (and a trash can at my school filled with water, which was fun to smash with a hammer)  My room looks like a tornado hit it, which is weird, me being Ms.  O. C. D. Neatfreak. I spilled bleach on my favorite jeans. (which stinks, though I used more colorful language, so to speak).  I saw Eclipse. (Which was actually pretty good, mainly because of the werewolf gang - team Jacob ALL THE WAY!) I was in a play, Our Town, and my nose started bleeding onstage and I had to ad-lib a quick exit ("George, I'll leave you to talk with Mr. Webb - I need to go make coffee for Emily").

So overall, nothing. But I do want to explain something I said before, which is - my eyes. They fit right in with the rest of me in terms of weirdness. I have no idea what happened when God was rolling the dice for my genes, but I ended up with easily the weirdest eyes in my town. Picture the lightest grey, and mix in a smidge of light blue. I am not making this up. They're almost white. I look a little creepy, actually, and as sad as this is, I really freak some people out. (I guess people who have known me for a while don't really notice it that much.) It used to really depress me, but now I think of it as a gift. I turn heads. I get noticed. But I still love it. One drawback - I can't wear a lot of mascara or else...  well, I'll let you see when I post pictures.

But today, I made the mistake of wearing a sweater that REALLY brought them out, when I was going to meet a whole bunch of new people. Meh. "Hi, this is my friend, Amme The Possessed." ("Oh, your eyes... they're so..........." Then they say something like "light" or "gray" or "blue" or occasionally "beautiful" :) . I even got "angelic" once. 0:D  Or occasionally? they just don't finish it.)

What I think is really funny is that people think I'm so weird when they meet me, just because of my eyes. Not what's behind them. They have no idea how much weirder I am than they think... ;)

Anyway, Happy Winter Break to those who are out!!! If you're not, well, only a couple more days!!! I hope you get a white Christmas, wherever you are :)
