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

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

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.

Nutty, Holli, other No-touchy-my-eyeball phobics, DO NOT READ lisah's whitefont. I can happily put my finger in my eye, and I wish I hadn't read 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.
Okay, thanks. I have no room for additional information if I'd like to keep it to one page, even though that's my favorite part, since it is the part where one is allowed to have a personality. Should it be in .doc form? Or .rtf? Or .cwk?

I claim a penguin. They'll fit into the luggage, I'm sure, if she snaffles one of the little ones.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Can't get my head around the concept, no matter how often it works for other people.
Yeah, same here. And I know the other people are complex, multifaceted folks whose lives and personalities can't be represented in a text box of X00 words or less. They manage.
There seems to be a disconnect between the me in my head versus the me that's presented to the world (the former's much more porny, for starters). I think part of my problem is picking the me to write about. I'd kind of like to find a fella interested in the me in my head, but then he's going to be dealing with the presentational me, especially at first. And blither, dither, blah, blah.
I could just spend the $30 match.com fee at Good Vibrations instead.
ETA: Or use it to start a "Vacation just like Perkin's" fund, instead. Wow.

Maybe I should go back and reinforce the squick warning.
