I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's the sort of thing I do all the time, Aibelle. Sorry 'bout the headache.

And I so get trying to come up with a self summary. At the moment I'm toying with joining match.com, and there's a whole personal profile thing involved. That and a picture. I have no idea what to put up for either.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not lame, Alibelle. Dull and businesslike, which is what you want in a resume (although I do like the first one better!). Put it in resume form (for our purposes, formatting can be simple--a bold heading like EDUCATION, followed by that info. Tell us about your education, dates you graduated, any honors, and cool committees. EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE Any jobs you have had (even internships) and how they might contribute to your skills (such as composed email, organized filing, blah blah blah) plus at the bottom you can put ADDITIONAL INFORMATION interests--like dancing or reading specific types of books, or travel. Oh, and software you know and typing speed.

Oh! And thanks for the concern about my contact lenses. I eventually got them out, but they were in my eyeballs for 21 and a half hours, when they were supposed to be in for four. I ended up falling asleep with my fingers in my eyes, and being all oops, I can still see! when I woke up. But then I met this really nice pharmacist lady, who gave me a trick to get them out, and it worked! I am thinking of buying her a valentine's card because I now love her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad they finally came out, Alibelle. I will say, when I was wearing contacts, they were the regular take-them-out-at-night kind, and I semi-regularly slept in them and wore them for two days at a time, and my eyeballs did not, in fact, fall out.

I don't want to go to school today. Bah!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

a whole personal profile thing involved

Depths of hell, that. Can't get my head around the concept, no matter how often it works for other people.

Punishingly Intricate

I eventually got them out, but they were in my eyeballs for 21 and a half hours, when they were supposed to be in for four.

Phew! I once got a contact lense stuck in my eye and I didn't know it. I only found out when (whitefont for ewwww...ETA VERY EWWW if you have eyeball issues at all!) I got the little lump on my eyelid operated on. The skin on the inside of my eyelid had completely grown over the contact lens. I really never felt it up there! It never hurt. And I didn't remember losing a contact lens and I hadn't worn them regularly in a couple of years. It was FREEEAKKYYY with a Capital Freak!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yesterday I went snorkling with sea turtles, sea lions, pelicans, and PENGUINS!
Oh! Forget the postcard and iguana, Perkins needs to bring me back a sea lions or two.
