For all my life, I've been increasingly amazed at the way the world and the universe are designed. I haven't bothered too much with the ultimately irresolvable questions about whether there's a Purpose or a Creator or any of that; just the fact of things' existence has seemed enough of an answer.
But today I discovered one very serious design flaw. What the hell is up with eyelashes?! After having had one irritatingly stuck in my right eye for the last 24 hours, having searched and searched and flushed with water and searched again to no avail, this morning I finally determined I was going to find the damn thing once and for all. I fished around with my finger as best I could, making my eye tear and bringing out all the unsightly red capillaries… it took me about 15 minutes but I FINALLY got it out!
At which point I thought - who the hell decided it was a good idea to position impermanent, sharp-ended tiny hairs right above our eyes?! Some crazy bastard. A genius with a peculiar vendetta. I dunno. Maybe it happened that time Satan volunteered to take over for half an hour so God could get a quick bite to eat… I'll bet he grabbed the chance to make a couple of, ummm, you know, changes to the blueprint. That would explain a lot.
About Me
- k8fh
- I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge. I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.

Glad you managed to excavate the eylash and you're back to "normal". This was one of your funniest posts so maybe the irritation was a contributing factor to good blogging.
