I got my Totally Swede hoodie from Noisebot.com today. It’s totally sweet.

I think recently (ever since the my final years of secondary school, right up until now, my second year of college), I’ve been allowing my mind to wander. I’ve been indulging myself in letting things wash over me, and doing what I want. This yields a lot of great creative energy and cool ideas, and generally has helped me to be very calm in the face of adversity and potentially stressful situations.

On the downside – and of course there is a major downside to something so good – I think this has probably created an imbalance in my life. I’m finding it difficult to stay focused on things which are well within my capability, that I want to achieve but which are not my primary wants or needs. I have to learn to break away from this lax attitude, in order to achieve future ambitions. What began as a way to escape stress and narrow thoughts has become a debilitating force.

Eyelid Twitch

Alternative names
Eyelid spasm; Eye twitch; Blepharospasm; Twitch – eyelid

Definition
An eyelid twitch is called a blepharospasm. It happens when your eyelid muscles repeatedly and rhythmically contract. In some instances, the eyelid may repeatedly close (or nearly close) and re-open.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won’t even notice when the twitch has stopped.

More severe contractions, where the eyelid completely closes, are possible. These can be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye (cornea) or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctiva).

Symptoms
In addition to having repetitive, uncontrollable twitching or spasms of your eyelid (usually the upper lid), you may be very sensitive to light or have blurry vision.

And I love this part:

Treatment

Eyelid twitching usually disappears without treatment. In the meantime, the following steps may help:

* Get more sleep.
* Drink less caffeine.

I don’t know if I can really commit myself to that.
