Eye Rubbing

Lol weird title, I know. But does anybody else exceptionally enjoy rubbing their eyes? I purposely postpone doing my eye makeup until JUST before I leave so I can rub them to my heart's content. It just feels so nice. I oftentimes forget and rub them anyway. Then my eyes start to water because I get mascara in them and I have to compulsively rub my eyes until all my eye makeup is off. Which usually requires a tissue or my shirt to help. I'm sure that's not good for my eyes and preventing wrinkles. But I can't help it! It ends up happening everyday. Last week, I got a scratch or something somehow on my inner left eyelid so I couldn't really rub it since it hurt and I wanted it to heal. It was so hard.

Ps, I probably never mentioned this, but eyes CREEP me out. Especially when there is something wrong with them. So I don't recommend researching eye rubbing if you have a weak stomach like me. EW

Omg I just found this article (everything online HAS to be true) and this is some of it:

"There's no reason to recommend rubbing at all," says McMonnies about the range of everyday situations that usually beg for a rub. "Rubbing should be avoided at all times."

So, short of sitting on your hands, how can you avoid rubbing?

McMonnies suggests:

• gently applying a clean, wet facecloth to your eyes to help reduce the itch and urge to rub or to remove sleep from your eyes in the morning.
• treating the underlying causes of dry, irritated or itchy eyes to minimise the need for rubbing. This could include avoiding known allergens or irritants, or taking your allergy medication.
• trying to manage your stress if this is the reason that you rub your eyes.

 Now I'm worried. I don't do it for any reason really other than it feels good. Does this slightly terrify me finding out it isn't recommended? YES. Will I stop rubbing my eyes? Probably not. How would you even stop that? It's like stopping eating meat. Sure people do it. But not the kind of people aka person I want to be. Please tell me other people do this casually?

Dreams

So I've mentioned on youtube my issue with anxiety. I won't go into it right now, but pretty much the only side effect my anxiety medicine gives me is weird, intense dreams. Pretty cool side effect. But also very strange. I thought I'd share one particular dream I had recently because you seriously can't make this stuff up. So enjoy the strange story that happened in my brain! I will try to explain the things I actually understand.

I was in Los Angeles (which I really, really, really want to visit in real life!) and was hanging out with Trisha (I really don't know her, but I do watch her youtube videos. Here's her channel if you aren't familiar with her, if you are the rest of this will make sense: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF2oW5-MO8dB6ul9WH9xi0A ) I asked her where I should visit, and she surprised me and took me to this sex shop. We were looking around and this old man squeezed me and tried to take me away. I kept screaming for help, but no one helped. Then Trish finally led me out of the store and started screaming at me that he was the owner of the store and he only invited certain people to come to the store so I was being so rude. She was so angry that she was never going to be able to shop there again and then told me that was her husband. I was freaked out, so we separated.

Then I was left in L.A. alone with no idea where I was. I found these two girls and told them my story and they decided to help me. They took me to this car wash for people and we went through it and at the end was a pool where another youtuber, Brittani Louise Taylor (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSUyajSl8NgS-6l0Wv8JaaQ ), was hosting this swimming competition so we started swimming and were pretty much in last place. I tried talking to Brittani, but she was busy talking to the camera.  I'm not really sure how this next part transitioned, but the next thing I know we were at a taping for a game show. We were in this back stage area where a dog tried to bite my toes and next to us Jenny McCarthy and Donald Trump were fighting about something.

We ended up going to the main taping area and I didn't have shoes, so I tweeted asking for someone to bring me shoes. This girl brought me shoes and told me they were so uncomfortable. I tried them on and they hurt so bad so I decided not to wear them. The game show was about people making inventions with strange objects. At my table, there were 3 people who I was friends with in elementary school and they were playing "Just Dance" for the Wii. (In real life I have been trying to find a cheap Wii to buy online to no avail and I love that game) There were only 3 controllers so I couldn't play. I went off to the side. I found a green pair of Old Navy flip flops that I put on and were much more comfortable. Then a woman with no shoes came by and I offered her the uncomfortable ones and she was so excited and hugged me.

Somehow it turned into a commercial with those 3 friends and I tripped into the scene spilling rice everywhere. I was trying to pick it up and the director was mad so he made us all sing to see who was the best. He didn't like anyone's voice, but I woke up right before it was my turn to sing.

So, as you can see, there is really no sense or reason to this dream, but it sure was interesting. And on a side note, I keep  having a problem with sleeping on my nose. I don't know how this happens, but I wake up with my face in my pillow and a sore, red nose. I have some sleeping issues!

What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?
