You said ...Dear anonymous, <BR/><BR/>Your comments hit home. You said well what I was trying to say when I said I was worried I would look too..."vanilla". I think it's true that my difference is pretty useful in many ways and does make me unique. That is part of the emotion that is wrapped up in the decision. <BR/><BR/>On the flip side, I remember listening to this interview once on Fresh Air. I don't remember who the interviewee was, but some sort of fashion designer. When Terry Gross asked her who inspired her she told the story of this professor who was always impeccably dressed. She (the designer) asked him once why he was always dressed so well and he answered that he felt it was important to bring some ease and harmony to all interactions, to put people at ease so that they could concentrate on the important aspects of the interaction. <BR/><BR/>This, I think, is what inspires me to have my eye corrected. There is as much value in harmony as there is in shaking things up. It's a question of in what ways do I wish to bring harmony to the world and in what ways do I wish to shake things up? It seems to me the latter should be more of a choice. <BR/><BR/>Either way, thank you for the comments. Well said.famjaztiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243595315812420520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23321511.post-1147957898220570772006-05-18T09:11:00.000-04:002006-05-18T09:11:00.000-04:00Interesting...as a recipient of a "lazy eye", whic...Interesting...as a recipient of a "lazy eye", which was cosmetically altered at age five, and naturally reinstaded at age fourty, I see it as a blessing...WHY? First off, those that judge you by this mark, are NOT the type of people you wanna get "intimate" with. Honestly, would you wanna spend a lot of your precious timespace with a person who was that superficial? (Buddha knows, there are certainly enough of that sort here in Gentrification City, both Male and Female) And really, would you wanna work for someone who would judge you on that physical difference? You can get it fixed for free, it just requires some checking of benevolent agencys (hint, none of 'em are government based. Surprise!),but why? Think of it as an external version of your internal Bullshit detector.(you do acknowledge that you have one, ja?) It (your BSD) seperates the true from the untrue, the liberals from the faux libs, the gay from the jus'wanna fit in, the preditor from the socially retarded. It( the lazy eye) doesn't diminish beauty, and I like it for the same reason that I like nude beaches. It makes you more naked, and much less apt to be able TO bullshit (verb). groove, or not...Razz, near last of the dying breed (unwanted native son)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23321511.post-1145484859339860822006-04-19T18:14:00.000-04:002006-04-19T18:14:00.000-04:00thanks Jennifer...still considering.
