@erica-worsmith @wordsmith @i-david @evelyn Whoever else was talking about eyes…
Eyes… hehe. My favorite part of the human body. I don’t even know what goes on behind them, but they are AMAZING! And I love looking at different eyes. So, uh, if any of you meet me, at one point I will probably stare at your face and look very enamored, so just ignore that, because it’s me and my obsession with eyes.
I love eye descriptions too, but the funny thing is… I’ve never been able to do a good one for myself.
There’s one guy at church whose eyes are so blue, blue, blue… like blue lightning trapped behind glass.
Or a girl I know whose eyes look like sad water, so light blue and pale, but when she laughs or gets excited, they brighten like a star.
But myself… the best I can do is not very good. Plus, my eyes aren’t beautiful, so my accurate descriptions sound meh.
“A watery green marsh with a bit of soft brown earth at the middle.”
That’s about the best I can do.
Plus, my eyes change how much ratio of green to brown there is. They used to be all brown, and I was shocked to find green one day
*laughs* This is actually funny… one of the only arguments I had with my best friend was whether or not my eyes were green. And the other one was whether or not I was a ‘Victorian beauty’ as she put it. *rolls eyes* In her opinion, I have the “wonderful complexion, sweet face, pink lips and gorgeous eyes of a beautiful young woman”. But she’s my best friend. So duh, she thinks that. Even if it’s not really technically true. I’m not really beautiful, but she’s my best friend, so I smile and accept it. 😊
