Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by descriptions of eyes doing activities that eyes don't normally do? For some reason it's almost always jarring (to me) when an author uses a movement verb for eyes that goes beyond the ordinary. "Her eyes danced" might not bother me, but "Her eyes danced across the room"--yeah, that sets off my giggle-reaction. My personal favorite is any variety of sliding--such as "His eyes slid down her dress." (I think that was an actual sentence from a really bad book I once read.) Ew, and hee!
My parents have a guest bathroom with the best mirror and lighting. My hair actually looks blonde in this mirror, instead of mousy. My eyes look green-gold, rather than brown-green. Even the shape of my hairstyle appears better in this mirror. I may never leave the bathroom again.

ETA: okay, hunger wins out over vanity. Just came back from Sonic--burger, onion rings. Why does greasy food taste so good?

I think my brain has been devoured by fanfic. First there was the reading of it, now the writing of it. And I believe... I have created fluff. This was NOT my intention. If I could fill my writing with the angst I'm currently feeling, the fluffiness factor would definitely be gone. ( My only consolation is this: )
