Something Cellulosis

While I was sleeping, a nice crust sealed my left eye shut and prying it open resulted in redness and swelling. I showed my eye doctor and asked him if he could fix me. Then I cringed when he said he wanted me to see a specialist because that basically means that my condition is abnormal or uncommon enough that a normal doctor can’t cure it.

Whenever I’m prompted to see a specialist, three questions usually follow: Will I need surgery? Is it cancer? Am I going to die (or, in this case, am I going to go blind)? I didn’t think it was anything to worry about until he said he wanted me to see the specialist today or first thing tomorrow morning, but not any time later than that. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it’s just a run-of-the-mill pink eye and not anything worse.

In the meantime, I’ve come up with three ways to conceal my bloody eye:

a. Wear an eye patch (the easy way out)
b. Be in a perpetual state of winking
c. Be in a perpetual state of drunkeness, so both my eyes and face will be red

Hi, I'm Mindy. People who meet me and then happen to stumble upon my blog are usually surprised that I have things to say because I'm quiet. Yes, I actually have thoughts. I have feelings and emotions too, believe it or not. more ↓

People who know me will say that I’m loud, too nice for my own good, and show signs of someone with a mild case of autism.

I grew up with two older brothers and no friends, which means my childhood was spent bouncing between PC, NES, and Playstation games. I consider myself a casual gamer– I never leave home without my DS. My favorite video game character will always be Quina Quen from Final Fantasy 9.

Once upon a time, I studied abroad in Paris and loved it so, so much. I think about Paris on a bi-hourly basis. I now live in San Francisco, but hope to move to New York someday.

The name of my website comes from a Teen Girl Squad episode.

I love pugs, Kinder Eggs, traveling, and shy people.

I don’t like spiders, horseradish, driving, and being shy. less ↑
