This is why I'm angry at my eye

Crossing one eye used to be one of the things I did for fun. Other things in my fun repertoire? Raising one eyebrow, blowing spit bubbles off the end of my tongue, wiggling my ears, squishing my nose to demonstrate how squishy it is, making myself burp and for a very short time I juggled. Also there was the whole thing with the fancy card shuffling. Now in telling you all this I’m not trying to brag, though I imagine a certain amount of respect is flowing from you to me right now, I’m just stating the facts. The facts are that I’m fairly amazing. Or at least I was. You see, these days when I try to cross one eye I’m noticing something alarming.

My eye is lazy in terms of not being lazy. It’s like I have a lazy eye, that’s how normal it is. You know? Instead of very clearly heading one way while the other one looks straight, I just have a vaguely crazed look going on. I’m kind of beside myself.

Here I am at Paltalk yet again not effectively crossing one eye. Hope springs eternal I guess.

Still, it was depressing enough that I grew pensive….

And felt the need to hide under multiple hats…

    My left eye is kind of lazy…I think. But my right eye was twitching like crazy yesterday, so it's not lazy.

    I love the pensive photo (and the banter before and after the photos). You are too funny!

    Love the pictures!!

    I enjoyed Paltalk today, Miss R! Did you see I was in the chat room? I was working while listening to the show, but I managed to post several messages. I recorded them for posterity:

    – Redrum, Redrum, Redrum
    – Wendy, I'm home!
    – Wendy?
    – Have you ever had a SINGLE MOMENT'S THOUGHT about MY responsibilities?
    – You're scared of Room 237, ain't ya?
    – Come out, come out, where ever you are.

    I hope my posts made your Paltalk experience more enjoyable!

    And YES, you HAVE to do a phone vlog with Diana. She's great!!

    You are going to freak out, but I don't have a lazy eye, I have a wandering eye. No really. When I was a kid, I had an accident and I lost my central vision to my left eye. Unfortunately, it was irreversible so over the years, my eye just wanders wanders wanders. I remember once I was driving to Las Vegas, and had to make a stop in Bakersfield. Well sure enough, my eye wandered off while I was getting gas. I eventually found my eye talking to a running nose under a tree. Both were sharing a Icee. My wandering eye is such a charismatic little guy.

    Anyway, the first couple pictures look like you wet your pants, Alison. Uh, I hope you've grown out of that.

    Boinkity! *luvs*

    I'm just happy you and I both shop at Target. We should go Target hopping together. I hear it's in!

    I'm surprised that you actually take those pictures of yourself and posted them here.

    Target?! It's all about Wal-Mizzart!

    You look like a telemarketer in the last photo.

    Oh my goodness. I have a lazy eye. It just doesn't play well with others, not a part of the team. It's worse when I'm tired. The funny part is not only did I do interesting things like raise one eyebrow and wiggle my ears (and nostrils), but I'm also one of those rare individuals that can blow spit bubbles off the tip of my tongue. In 5th grade I had ten of them on the carpet between the rows of desks. Much more interesting to my classmates than whatever Miss Miller was teaching. This was before my eye got lazy. Don't tell me you're also a Neil Young Fan, 'cuz that would just be freaky.
