Eye Air.

Hmmm. For the past few days there has been an annoyingly
high number of times that air has escaped from my eye. Like, I'll
just be sitting there, looking at my wall -- then pssssss, air comes
out my eye and my eyelid feels like it's 'bubbling.' It felt rather rad
the first couple of times, but after 2 days of it happening every
2-5 minutes, I've started to become kind of frustrated.

I looked in the mirror while it was happening. I actually saw my
eyelid flutter. Pretty cool.

I've also noticed that I've been forgetting to put words in my
sentences. On AIM, or in email. Wherever. I'll completely forget
to put an entire word in there.

Think I have a tumor?

Jeez, that's a scary thought. Yeah, maybe it's not air at all, but
some neurological disorder that's affecting my eyelid. Thanks
for the extra worry, Fordy... :)

Come to think of it, my head has been hurting a lot lately. It feels
like my skull has tiny little fractures everwhere. Not unbearable
pain, but it's present. Ooh, and I keep going almost-blind when I
wake up, or just stand up. My vision goes almost completely
dark for 1-2 seconds.

Maybe it's the aspertame. I've been drinking diet soda exclusively
for the past 2 years. At least 20 oz/day. Hmmm. Lawsuit. Yay!

Eh, Doctors are expensive. I'm sure it'll go away. Besides, I turn
21 tomorrow (March 11th. :) ). If I should I die, no biggie. I've
lived a long life and have managed to accomplish everything I've
wanted (well, almost everything. I still haven't finished Metroid
Prime)...

Sounds like what I have. Yet another reason why the internet
is the greatest thing ever. I could have spent money going to
some doctor, sat through hours of blood tests (even though the
doctor would have known that they weren't necessary. Just trying
to take my cash), and be given the exact same results Google
gave me.

I guess it's nothing too serious. Damnit...

Eh, I'm probably too old to take advantage of the "Make a Wish" foundation, anyway.

Clue #1: "high number of times that air has escaped from my eye."

Clue #2: "I've also noticed that I've been forgetting to put words in my
sentences."

It is widely accepted that you are full of hot air. Putting both that knowledge and the previous two clues together, I have concluded from a sherlock-esque puzzle solving spree, that your brain is indeed leaking from your eye socket.

Its nothing to worry about; It cant go on forever after all.

Even I have been facing with the "eye fluttering" problem since the past 7 days or so. A search on the net got me this.
I think it's because of the strain in my work I have been going through of late.

hey, Fordy

I'm curios what kind of tax rate do you pay in the UK?

I think it's at least 18% and at most 40%. I remember when I was working part-time at a delivery company I took home a £80 gross wage a week, then the Government takes nearly £15 off that. :eek:

I told them I needed that to fund my education, but nooooo, they said that man down the road wanted a sex change... :p
