Meta: Thanks! I felt about the same way.
Torsten: I did do a little hoppy dance when I saw it. I probably looked a bit goblinesque.
Say no: If it's any help, it does go away pretty quickly.
Lincoln: Thank you. My first thought was making a tissue green with boogers, so it did take a while to get to this.
I wasn't exactly courageous, but I'll admit that testing out a small amount was what made me okay with trying it out on my whole eye.
Oh, and people with contacts should not do this even more than other people should not do this.
Here it is, and since I'm a bit of a self-conscious person, keep in mind that I wrote it during my research ethics course and had to rush because my battery was at 12% when I started:
Message to the Snowman
You do not strike me as a magnificent piece of art because of your snowman-ness. You're the wrong color to be a snowman, and when people run into you, you don't crumble to pieces. You sit there happily in summer, never melting.
Yet you have this charm, this power, this mystique. Perhaps it is because you are the wrong color, because you stand strong, because you don't melt. You defy our expectations. You make us question and re-evaulate our perception of the snowman.
In doing so, you make us speculate. What would happen if you were covered in snow? Would some drunken frat boy try to tackle you and instead injure his shoulder? If the earth were invaded today by aliens, what would they think of you? Would it seem like you are worshipped, or might you only be seen as a simple decoration?
Hell, that one time, we made up a story about you being used as a butt plug. It doesn't seem anatomically possible for a human of any size, but the musings of drunken college students can turn anything into a butt plug, so don't be offended, Snowman.
I like that you have no gender. I like that you brave the cold. I like that you're not ugly, like a few of the other pieces of art on campus. I like that you can be given hugs, and I like that you don't seem to mind.
I'm running out of battery, and my computer will shut down, but I want to give you this message, so I'm going to cut it short. Please continue to rock out the snowmanliness even when the snow comes. Don't be intimidated by other snowmen. We love you as you are.
Duckmonster: That's probably the appropriate reaction (the disgust and terror). Thanks for the vote.
Isobel: I probably am, and thank you.
That cracks me up, dude.
Burn: and then they bleed it away, the vines retreat. The currents are just currents, and what they bring they take away. All is water and all of that Thales foo.
I have to agree with Caleb, both about the sample size and the legitimate use of "genital wart."
My eye is not still green. It became un-green pretty quickly (within maybe 15 minutes? with only a little green left in the corner for another 15, perhaps), though I'm sort of tempted to try it again. See if I can get slightly greener (or more even) results.
I think I went the right way with this when I did Q-tip+tears instead of drop+eye.
Can't wait to hear what else you have to say about him. I hear he once said something nice about Sarah Heffron...
