Eryk's Eye

About Me

Brown eyes, thick eyebrows, useless without glasses, which have frames which are thick and black. My eyesight was always perfect until I hit the fourth grade, at which point I began to shoot a lazer tag gun into my wide open eye so I could watch the laser mechanism. As a result, my eyes are among the first generation of laser gun casualties.
My doctor initially remarked, "My God, He's blind as a bat!". I had contact lenses for a while. Once, after I stopped wearing them for some time, I found a pair soaking in a lens container, still soaking in the solution. My initial reaction was to wonder when I took them out, and I came up with the idea of putting them back in my eyes so I could see when and where I was when I wore them last. It doesn't work.
My friend Amalia told me once that I was "very sensitive to aesthetic beauty, and so it makes sense that you only date beautiful women." My girlfriend at the time was actually annoyed that I thought it made sense, and now I have a weird thing about being attracted to beautiful women. I usually try to hide the fact that I think the women I'm interested in are beautiful, because I am pretty sure it disqualifies me from any actual interest in them.
My eyes are attracted to light, the colors green, red, and blue, the combination of black, white, and red. My eyes like to read non fiction. They like collections of similar items placed next to each other. They like the art of Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons even if my brain kind of doesn't. My brain eventually started to really like Warhol, though. My eyes have convinced it.
There are some things that make my eyes want to look away. These things include any sort of massively organized structure that emerges from nature: beehives, that cubic rock thing that looks like endless staircases and is usually found in the Earth Store. Certain kinds of reefs and algae. I don't like my nature doing precise math. My eyes tell my stomach to be frightened and nauseated.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Beautiful women, shiny surfaces, bright colors, light coming from a film projector (very psychologically empowering), bright lights against darkness, lightning, birds, vintage clothing, repeated patterns on walls or fabric, well designed shoes, sunflowers, cats sleeping the sunlight, happy tap dancers, a well designed fish, the light that comes out when the sun rushes through green plastic sprite bottles, rainbows coming off of waterfalls, rainbows coming from oil slicks on parking lots, the waves turning purple from the sunrise on the beach in Spain, the glaciers and reservoirs of Iceland as I flew over it in an airplane, shadows, blonde hair in the sun, people who ride bicycles gracefully, light seen from underwater, the beads of rain on glass surfaces, untouched and falling snow, the different colors the sky can take at sunset (red, blue, purple, pink), penguins, people with big eyes who look up and away while thinking.
