Micro Fiction Monday: Eye Contact

Brown eyes.

Green eyes.

I never thought about how beautiful brown eyes could be.

I always thought green eyes were overrated.

But somehow, it was the first thing I noticed about her.

On him, though....I didn’t mind.

Her hair was purple and bright, it’s a wonder why I didn’t notice it first.

His hair was a natural, unassuming brown. Not a speck of dye to be found; not a frizzy, damaged mess like mine.

She was beautiful.

He was gorgeous.

I lost her in the crowd a moment later.

The room was packed, the air sticky with sweat and beer.

I pushed my way through other party goers, looking for a glimpse of her bright hair.

He blended in really well. I lost him as quickly as I saw him.

She was surprisingly easy to lose track of.

I kept my eyes open for the rest of the night. I stayed way longer than I meant to.

I asked the host of the party if he knew her. He didn’t.

I didn’t know anyone. Eventually, I left.

I gave up the search and pushed my way outside.

I stopped the cab when he came outside.

A flash of purple, glimmering in the streetlights.

Found you.

    

Found her.

10 Things You May or May Not Know About Me (WFMAD Day 18)

(I'm stumped and bored okay.)

If you know me in real life, you probably already know the majority--if not all--of the following facts. If you only know me through this blog, though, you might learn something.

1. I live off of chocolate milk. (If you are my friend and didn't already know this then I am severely judging you right now.) Seriously, though, if I ever became lactose intolerant, I would cry. And then get sick, because let's face it, lactose intolerance would never keep me from drinking it.
2. I am a nerdy, geeky, dorky fangirl. I watch anime and play Pokemon and get way too emotionally invested in television for my own good. (I think I already mentioned this but whatever.)
3. I love buying scratch tickets. Scratching scratch tickets is fun, okay? I promise that I don't have a gambling addiction.
4. The song Call Me Maybe is MAH JAM! One time I heard it start playing on the radio at the other end of the restaurant when I was working and literally ran down there to dance to it.
5. I have a slight addiction to painting my toenails. I'm actually about to paint them right now. I'd paint my fingernails, too, if I was ever allowed to have nail polish on at work. (The downside to working at a restaurant, I guess.)
6. I am not built for running. And by that, I mean that I'm lazy and hate anything that involves physical movement.
7. My favourite colour is purple. You can easily figure this out on your own when you see my bedroom.
8. My favourite food is macaroni and hot dog casserole. KD and hot dogs and sauce baked in the oven. IT IS A GIFT SENT FROM GOD.
9. I love Wal-Mart. Don't ask me why, I just do. I also have some fond memories of Wal-Mart adventures with a certain driving buddy of mine~
10. I built an office chair all by myself. Like last month. Or the month before or something. I consider it as my first real step to adulthood. (Aside from, y'know, graduation and all that.)

Can you tell that I was really running out of facts by the end?

Until later,
