RANDOMOSITY:
So I'm just typing away here at work, listening to the Garden State soundtrack so deftly supplied to me by the Great Jukowski, when I find myself hung up in the song "Blue Eyes" by a duo known as the "Cary Brothers." Long story short, I wish that the Cary Brothers were the Cary Sisters, because the song's really pretty, and it sucks that it's guys singing it, because frankly, that's not my cup of tea.
I mean, my blue-greys are widely regarded as my most potent weapon in my neverending search for my next ex-girlfriend. Which led me to think about two things:
1) the only good song for a blue-eyed boy I can think of is "The Sweetest Thing" by U2.
2) I don't think I know a single girl with blue eyes. Okay, admittedly, I RARELY notice a girl's eye colour, even though I'm a self-professed "eye guy." I get caught up more in size/shape and EFFECT than I do colour, so maybe there are like, a bagillion blue-eyed girls in my life, and I just don't really realize it.
So here's where YOU come in. ARE there any blue-eyed girls out there? If you're a guy, do you KNOW any blue-eyed girls? I know tons of green-eyed girls, seemingly (and lucky for them, they've got Coldplay's "Green Eyes" to keep them warm at night), and of course, brown ones, but no blue-eyed girls. (Except Danielle, but hers are FAKE.).
So yeah, help me out here. I'm going a little nuts over it.

Okay, as a blue-eyed girl, I was THRILLED to finally have a good blue-eye girl. There was the Who song "Behind Blue Eyes," but it is the farthest thing from romantic and/or sweet as a song can get. I love the song, do mistake me, but he's all angry. Not warm and fuzzy at all. Then there was that song "Brown-eyed girl," which I was always intensely jealous of. I mean, come on!!! What about me?!
As a fellow devotee of the Garden State soundtrack, there are better songs on there than that Cary Brothers one (hello Zero 7!! And the Shins!!!!). But I'm glad someone is finally giving props to us blue-eyed chicks.

See, I KNEW I was gonna get nailed for something like that! I said that I notoriously don't pay attention to eye colour, though I'm an eye guy, because I get caught up in what I can do no better than describe as "effect."
I distinctly remember AliMac having pretty eyes, but I totally blanked on the colour. In a related story, I'm pretty sure Kelly has blue eyes, too, which would bring the count up to two of my closest girl-friends who have blue eyes.
so there you go.
