Well after enjoying that random clip from Community I'd best be heading out for an couple of hours. Don't do anything fun while I'm going, I may be lurking on my smartphone.

Enjoy your away time.
Awww, how can anyone top that?
Rinoa you are an extraordinarily beautiful woman, I wouldn't be too worried about having one eye closed a little more than the other
Anyway, ouch on the PRK recovery. Hope it's not too uncomfortable, I know it's usually a lot slower to recover from than lasik.
You do bro. In my mind.
Thank you, it takes a lot of makeup for me to look good tho. I've got dark undereye from indian side of my heritage and now that I have no glasses I really have to cover it up.
PRK was great, no pain or anything. Seems people who complain about problems (that I read about online) didn't follow the instructions. It's just this recovery time that is long and that's why people don't do it. Considering LASIK is a one-time thing, I'd get PRK even if I had a choice.

I'm serious too. My day could be super shitty and all it takes is a hug or phone call from him to make me feel great.
I have a similar problem, but opposite. The skin under my eyes is actually lighter than everywhere else. It doesn't show up much in pictures, thankfully.

I suffer from terrible raccoon eyes, too. It sucks, people always asking you if you're sick or tired.
Don't worry about the eye thing, though. One of mine is always wider than the other and nobody ever seems to notice. I like your hat, by the way.

I have dark undereye, too.
Years of basically never taking off my glasses doesn't help.

I've seen this face. I think perhaps someone had posted you in the gaming sides cosplay thread.
Mine shows up in pics cause it's that dark, so I layer corrector and concealer. I can't put on anything else because no eye makeup until eye doctors say it's okay. On the bright side I never need eyeshadow because my eyes are so deep that they're naturally shadowed.
If yours is lighter it could be tiredness or the rest of face being flushed from strain or other stuff, lot of my pale friends have that.
A couple of weeks ago, my sister gave me a cup of tea, and as I was walking to a secluded room, book in hand, I see my niece following behind. She comes up to my knee. And she has a biscuit in hand.
I don't see the biscuit, so I ask, [my sister at this point wants us adults to have fuller conversations with young uns to improve their language skills], can I help you with something?
She says she want my tea.
So there I am sitting reading a book - trying to read a book, whilst this two year old is playing dunk your biscuits in the tea, and put it in your mouth before it melts. And when she can't, she just laughs, and can't stop giggling.
~Naughty tea, she says, pointing her finger at the tea like her mother, behave in front of uncle [ashes I suppose] and that sets me off.
Sometimes kids are a pain, but sometimes they are amazing eh....

Well maybe not but that pic does look familiar. Perhaps it was another Tira cosplayer.

Haven't had an avatar since the switch to hosting on-site, figured this is as good a time as any to fix that
Most of it is definitely a problem with skin redness, yeah. Especially when I just get out of the shower my T-zone becomes flushed and often doesn't disappear for hours. I just have to moisturize it and hope it goes away. It's still there slightly though, even after it's mostly gone. Ah well.
Yeah I get so self-conscious when people ask if I'm tired.
The hat also has this clip on bow with crochet butterfly on it, this seems to be a Korean trend lately. Random bits of crochet or fuzzy stuff.
If running cold water didn't get rid of it, you may have something else happening like eczema/rosacea. I had flushed/red skin last week and it was the signs of a flare up due to dry winter air.

Noted.
I've tried different things to treat both of those and it hasn't worked. :/ Not sure what it is, but it would be nice if I could go to a dermatologist.
Hahaha. I laughed so hard reading this.

Any word on that list Ducky mentioned a few weeks back?
Yes, I was on the top.
Anyone else love cauliflower?
Cauliflower, man.
Anyway, here's a topic:
What is your most treasured object? We're talking about objects here, meaning inanimate. So as much as you want to post my precious child, or my darling dog, it won't work for this.
Pictures of said object for bonus points.
For me, it is a charm I bought for myself and a friend at Asakusa temple. I was leaving Japan and we'd had sort of a falling out the night before, but we had promised to meet before I had to leave. I woke up early and bought two of them. When we met she apologized, and I apologized, and I gave her the charm. It felt like one of those touching moments you only see at the end of movies.

Good stuff, puddles.
I spent my night polishing Track 3 off my third album and watched a few episodes of Downton Abbey. As exciting as it gets when you're stuck at work in Saudi Arabia.

And broccoli.
My most treasured object is my car. Not because it's a good car or anything, but it's the only real sense of sanctuary and freedom in my life.

When I was moving from Tennessee, my best friend (who, in that middle school way that wasn't real but it felt real, I was totally in love with) put a letter in my backpack on the last day of school.
She sprayed it with the perfume that I identified with her and it was this long piece of literature that basically said she always liked me too, but we both knew that I was moving and was scared that she would get too attached. She closed it out by saying that, despite all the mistakes we both made, we had a friendship that wasn't comparable to anything else in the world because those things we went through together can never be replicated.
It was probably better than anything I could have ever written and we were only 14.
I keep it in a drawer in my old room at my parent's house, so no pictures.

Broccoli is delicious cauliflower is not.
You don't know what's precious till you nearly lose it. And so for me, it'd be a draft/backup/folder of a novel I used to work on. I had been working on it for 5 years or so, and my computer messed up and just ended its life. I think I retrieved it after trawling the internet for help regarded effed up drives.
last time I mentioned it on gaf, somebody said they had a hand written draft novel, they had been working on and their apartment had been flooded. And cause they had written in ink, a lot of it was just smudged...
immaterial things? my memories. Don't know what I;d do without em.
And last but not least, kinda really treasure my ipad.
They're both delicious. I loves me some trees man. Broccoli are normal trees and cauliflowers are weirwoods
I am going to get some gear together and start recording a few of my ideas. I just bought a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter so I'll be able to plug my guitar into my laptop. Now I'm going to need some kind of software, and maybe a midi keyboard. What do you recommend?

My teddybear. He's named Softbear and I've had him since I was three. It's falling apart and gotten a few holes from my dogs, but I still love it. I've tried sleeping without it but it just doesn't feel right without that particular shape tucked into my chest.

Cauliflower IS quite good, but not the end all be all of vegetables. (That's reserved for parsnips).
As per your other question...
I'm saddened to note that the cat is the only thing I 'treasure'. I had to move around so much and give things up that I learned not to become attached to anything. I have a pair of crystal wine glasses and decanter that a friend gave me after many a night of wine and chess, and my passport is basically a catalog of my life for the last 10 years, and both are things I would not like to lose, but... as such, I don't own many things and probably wouldn't react much if my entire apartment burned down.

It's always interesting to me the things people keep for a long time, particularly documents. The friend I mentioned before, I still have papers we had drawn on back in 8th grade (we've been friends for that long.) They're just silly little things, but it's just not the kind of thing you can throw away, you know?
I also have a diary that I wrote in from about the age of 5 to 14. I only wrote in it about once every two years, so it's not that impressive. But I would write letters to myself asking how I was getting on. I'd ask if I had managed to do the things I wanted, or if I still liked such and such. Usually I had changed so much I hardly recognized myself.

Treasured objects?
In September, Yoshihiro Nishimura gave me a prop from his movie HELLDRIVER. It's a zombie mask used in the swarming scenes. I'll put up a picture tomorrow, but if you look up the movie, you'll get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. It has this weird little antenna growing out the front that looks like a yubari melon.
Also, cauliflower with cheese is pretty great.

My favorite vegetable is actually onions. To me they are absolute perfection.
I just happened to be eating cauliflower just then.
It's interesting to me those who love to keep objects and those who don't. I don't think I'm so attached to things that I couldn't leave it all behind if I had to, nothing is precious enough for that. But it does make me smile when I see something that links to a special memory.

Are you a Mac or Windows user? If Mac, GarageBand is a great place to start. Not too familiar with Windows software but I hear Cakewalk (Link) have some good products you could check out.
Let me know how it goes.
