why is my eye twitching?
It's my first ever internet contest. My dear readers can determine why on earth a little muscle under my right eye has been doing a jig for 5 days off and on. Be creative! The prize: I don't know, the satisfaction of mind for doing something good for a fellow human being.
I have a few theories, which put together, make for a stressed out person--but really, theories aren't really helping me at this point. I just want to put a bowling ball on my eye socket for a while to give some counter-pressure or something.
The biggest theory I have is my lack of consistent sleep for 2 weeks. Is A sleeping, you ask? Yes, through the night. It's just me and my dumb lack of self-control when it comes to reading too much, and watching 2 or 3 episodes of Lost every night. Idiot. We got season 1 for Christmas, and I was so-so about watching it, because I haven't been interested in TV since Buffy was on. I think for the past few years, I have watched about 3 hours of TV a month. It's really nice to not be tied down to a schedule (Tuesday nights were Buffy time--I would speed home from aerobics to not miss the first five minutes of the show). But now DVD helps and hurts the cause.
I really enjoy the show, even though it stresses me out quite a bit. I mean, people are stranded on an island containing God-knows-what dangers, and flash back to their former lives, which were all filled with drama and tragedy. Oh, and they all survived their plane falling apart in mid-air. And nobody knows where they are. We finish watching the episodes, I look at the clock and curse myself.
I just finished another book as well, the Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. It's my season of reading the bestsellers I bought/borrowed a year ago. This one was far less depressing than the Earthquakes book, and is much better than I thought initially. But again, I stayed up too late reading after vowing to go to bed early.
My other theory on the eye-twitching is a vague sense that I have forgotten to do something important. It's very likely that is the case, but I can't remember. I have spent so much time this month spending time with people I don't normally, I have not seen most of my friends in quite a while. I miss them, and dare I say it, I miss my old routine. Maybe if I get together with some friends, I can rid myself of the twitch.

I had a twitchy eye which lasted a couple weeks...totally stress related. Um, my guess it is residual holiday- familial-lack of sleep stress. Emphasis on the first two factors....Ever have a twitchy lid before? Maybe you need to come over and sit in my "magic chair". :)
oooooh magic. just what the doctor ordered!
and yes, it's happened before, many times. erg.
