I am mostly working today--swearsies--but I was just upstairs and saw my eyebrows needed a little touch up since I've got a thea-tuh date tonight (though we do sit in the dark, so I guess it doesn't matter that much..? whatevs, one likes to look pretty on the way in and the way out). But because I am still slightly in work mode, I was distracted and didn't notice when I gathered a rather aggressive amount of hair from the top of my brow and yanked it right on out.
All of a sudden, I'm transported back to middle school and wondering if I'm going to look the way old Jenny H. did on the day she showed up to school with half her eyebrow shaved off. Bless her heart, she tried to say that she just slipped in the shower while shaving under her arms and NOT that she was attempting to shave her eyebrows neatly with an old Lady Bic (is there any woman anywhere that believes that is possible to slip in such a way as to shave off the bottom half of your eyebrow without cutting yourself when you were aiming for your underarm? anyone? no? seriously.)
Don't worry, though (if you were worried, you should stop for several reasons)--I keep a rather natural eyebrow shape, so there was plenty to work with to just make both eyebrows a little more narrow than usual. Dramatic situation downgraded to barely a situation.
And in a completely unrelated note: I no longer believe the veracity of strangers' emoticons. You know when you see someone enthusiastically peppering their speech with little winkies and little grinnies and you kind of think..."Self, I'm not sure that this person really is as jolly/cheeky/smirky as they are trying to tell me that they are". Rather like when someone is putting the old "lol" after statements that aren't in the least bit funny to anyone.
So the upshot here is that I have far neater eyebrows than usual and I now ignore most emoticons with the same judicious polite avoidance that I use when people send me emails written in personalised fonts and colours. I just pretend that it isn't even there, for both our sakes.

I don't understand why women trim their eyebrows. It only really needs trimming if it looks like this:

I never trim my eyebrows because I'm always worried about overdoing them. And also because they are pretty low key to start with.
Have fun at the the-aaaa-tuh.

Are people actually commenting on my post that have me blocked? Because I'm experiencing that weird thing where there are comments not visible to me on my own post which seems a bit strange. Especially when I can see said comments when they're used as images in replies. Hello, sweeneyjohn.
I don't do much to my eyebrows; I just clean up the stray hairs that show up outside the natural lines of the brows. Doing so makes my whole face look more 'put together' is why.

My grandmother traumatized me by plucking out all her eyebrows and drawing them in. She had mastered threading technique long before it was popular here. I thought both the threading and the eyebrowlessness/fake eyebrows was creepy.

Yes, I'm not a fan of the drawn in eyebrow, unless, of course, it's necessary due to an unwanted brow loss. I also don't like an over-done brow--there is something very unattractive to me about someone having those pencil thin eyebrows.

Drawn on eyebrow freak me out. But crazy eyebrows are not much better...Tue May 24, 2011 5:53:06 pm

I'm not sure I see the point of disliking someone enough to block them and then hanging out on their posts, but if that's their jam, that's their jam.
But I don't really think it makes terribly good site sense to have so little control over our own blogs. Doesn't this essentially mean that someone can block the people they dislike and then go and publicly insult them on their own posts without the poster being aware of what is being said while everyone else can read it? I'm down with people making statements elsewhere that I can't see, but tying my hands on my own blog makes me think this isn't really my own blog. If you see my point.

Interesting. I had not considered that. I have been thinking about simplifying things by combining the block and hide functions.But I don't really think it makes terribly good site sense to have so little control over our own blogs.
