actually, though... 4 years ago

I have been working on my self-awareness (meditating daily, see My Thing #2) and I was able to observe myself doing it and on some level decided it was okay to pull out the really long ones. I did stop myself before it got too out of hand. They look a little sparser than they should, but from a distance the shape is fine. I just wish I hadn’t been so rough on the left one, especially the far corner, which is now bald.



stop the insanity 4 years ago

For some reason, when I’m trying to do a math problem or read someone else’s Fortran code and I get frustrated (like today), I start trying to grab onto stray eyebrow hairs and yank them out. Once I start it is hard to stop and I am obviously not using a mirror or tweezers, so it does not make them tidier. Just hell of sparse. It sucks, I am too lazy to pencil them in again, so now I will look kind of weird for a week or two. Again. Darn!!! I was being so good for like over a month!!!! My eyebrows are usually rather strong, I am pale with dark hair, so to me at least it changes my whole face a lot.
