I'm old and haggard.

I have a crease. It's in between my eyebrows. On the left side (I think. I think it's my left, I'm not actually sure) I believe because that's the eyebrow muscle that's stronger. That's the eyebrow I can raise, anyway. I can't do the other one. The eyebrow icon was modeled after looking at myself in a mirror, so, that side.

WHAT THE FUCK!

It happens when I furrow my brow. There's a line. An actual groove in my flesh that I can still see when I de-furrow my eyebrows. My mother suggested that I just not frown so much. But it's very very hard! It's like my natural facial expression. Or the expression that I most naturally fall into when I'm squinting to block the sun from my eyes (I'm forever losing my sunglasses), or bracing against headaches (which I get far too frequently, and right in the forehead region), or when I'm reading pretty much anything on the internet. I'm trying, but it's really unpossible. And everytime I look at myself in the mirror now, it just makes me want to furrow my brow more. In dismay and frustration!

Seriously! What is up with this? First I have gray hair (which seems to have regressed, actually), and now I have wrinkles. I was really perfectly fine with the idea of ageing gracefully, but I never thought I'd get hit with it so soon. I mean, seriously, aren't I a little young for this? I'm twenty fricking one!

And the annoying thing is that I totally did not have this, say, a month ago. This is a startlingly recent development. But there it is!

I recently purchased some StriVectin eye cream, which I felt I needed for my alarming dark under-eye circles. And I'm also putting it on my eyebrow wrinkle. And around my mouth area, just in case. I thought even several months ago that I should start using wrinkle cream. But now I actually *need* it.

I even panicked and wondered if I should get injections of collagen or botulism.

It's really, really bothering me. Even in between typing I have been pressing my fingers into my forehead trying to iron out the crease. And trying not to knit my brows in panic and frustration.

GAAAAAAAh! Seriously!! Am I not too young for this? Do I have some kind of rapid-ageing disease? What is wrong with me??


On a completely different subject, Forrest Gump is on ABC right now. I was watching it before. And it struck me that Tom Hanks playing Forrest bears an uncanny resemblance to James Marsters playing Spike. It cracks me up.
