No Foolin'

I totally forgot about BEDA this year, until Kristina Horner's post reminded me. And then a bunch of other new posts popped up in my RSS feed and I was quite excited. I was going to write yesterday, but I was compressing a hot, wet washcloth to my eye because it is swollen and I thought it would be too hard to type one-handed. And I had to clean my room for a small party. The party ended up being really fun. It was kind of a small gathering in honor of my roommate's birthday, but not actually a *birthday party*. Also it was part of a plot to set up two possible soulmates, so we'll see what happens there. Lol. We played telephone pictionary, which is going to be confusing if I explain it, but I will give it a go anyhow. So, everyone starts out with a piece of paper and writes down a fun sentence at the top. Then everyone passes their paper to the person to the right, and that person draws a picture of the sentence. Then you fold over the first sentence so the next person can only see the picture, then you pass your papers again and write a sentence based on the picture. Then you fold over the picture and pass it on, alternating between drawing and writing a sentence until everyone gets back their original paper (or I guess you can keep going if there are not a lot of people). Then you open it up and see how the sentence evolved, and hilarity ensues. Some people get creative and add Supermans where there weren't Supermans and dinosaur-duck hybrid babies, and change the whole plot of the sentence. We also played some other games, but I won't go into detail because that would just drag on. So like I mentioned at the beginning of this post, my eye is swollen. I'm not sure how this happened, but I just wish it would go away because it makes me look unsymmetrical and I have a constantly-raised eyebrow. I think it started last Sunday, but it was just a little tender, like I had been punched in the eye but I didn't have a black eye or anything odd-looking. Then on Tuesday I had an eye twitch, then I think the swelling started on Thursday. I thought it might be from wearing my contacts (which I wear very sparingly, but I did wear them Saturday night before this all started), and I have been eating a lot of salty snacks since I gave up sweets for Lent, I have mild spring allergies, I do not enjoy drinking water so I'm probably somewhat dehydrated, and I had two papers and a lot of homework due last week, which of course means stressing out and not enough sleep. But it's only the one eye now, so I don't know. TMI? Meh, that's what a blog is for, right? I need an eyepatch, and a way to see out of my free eye without glasses. Or, you know, the whole problem could just go away. That would be fine too. Okay, that is plenty for today. See you tomorrow, blog!
