Eruptions

It is the last day of the month. Typically, for me, this day would be uneventful..... so uneventful!

However, I woke up this morning and discovered a few things that would make my day a living hell!

As I was rubbing my eyes to wakeful bliss, I felt a sudden pain right at the corner of my left eye. Yup, it is a sty--the pimply thing that appears on our - you guessed it - eyes! And boy, does it hurt. Local folklore has it that you can get a sty through peeping. Trust me, the last time I peeped was... oh well.... yesterday? If you would consider that peeping! I was merely marveling at how some ladies passing by the street wore T-back and some wore regular panties, and how some were bunched up in the.... well, you know what I mean. Technically, it is not peeping. But that is just how far it goes. Now I wonder, where did I get this wretched sty of mine? Now I couldn't wear contact lenses, which have a uniform grade of +325. I have to walk in a blur wearing my glasses, whose lenses are graded at +275. Oh, and by the way, my eyes are +400. You could just imagine the haziness I am in today. All because of this damn sty.

So I went to the bathroom to do my morning rituals. To my horror, I saw another volcanic threat ready to erupt. In fact, I saw two of them, and yes, they are painful as well! Two pimples-- one on my right cheek, and the other on the corner of my nose! Talk about teenage woes! The thing is, I am way past my teenage years! In fact, I am about 8 years past my teenage years! Damn!

I just wish that things will look brighter from hereon. I don't know if I can take another eruption, wherever it may be. This is too much for someone who doesn't get eruptions often.

So, does anybody here have tea tree oil?

Two things: One, you must really have been a repressed kid to resort to reducing yourself to a peeping tom, and two, your zits are a bad reaction to the guilt associated with your impure intentions.

bunched up where? =p

hmm..it's a real bummer if you can't wear contacts. i know how you feel. i am another clinically blind person with a grade of +400.

get new eyeglasses then -- with the correct grade so if another sty comes out...you won't be walking in haziness.
