Aye, if you say so.

Aye aye captain, set sail for the eye of the storm.
Couldn't resist

Hmm, is he:
a) despondent
b) contemplative
c) fantasizing
d) I'm no good at this stuff

That was a good joke
about the emotion eye test right?
Super DUPER uncomfortable.

LOL!
e) is making eye contact which is rare.
There's a fancy name for that color I think, but just call it dark gray.
My dad's are the same color.

Mine are grayish-blue. Usually they either look
- Dark blue
- Light blue (my least favorite)
- Bright gray (in sunlight and a certain room in my house)

Mine are.. black. And,, well, that's about it. Just black.

I can't tell people's moods from seeing their eyes alone. I would need to also see the rest of their face.

What I can say about that eye is that, assuming he's not wearing a fancy contact lens, Ezra has central heterochromia. That's the medical term describing eyes that have a different colour on the central part of the iris than on the outer part of the iris.

Basically, it's the posh way of saying that your eyes have "sunbursts" in them.

I am slightly obsessed with eyes at the moment. In case anyone is interested, you can look at interesting eye pictures and categorise your eye colour here:

and read about heterochromia iridum here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum


That Wikipedia entry deals with Heterochromia ididum in general, but there are sub-types. Central heterochromia (where the pupils are surrounded by "sunbursts") is not the same thing as complete heterochromia (when each eye is a different colour) or sectoral heterochromia (where the colour difference in the iris is distributed in segments).

I always tend to spot central heterochromia and point out to the person that they have it. Most people didn't even realise that their eyes were multi-coloured until I pointed it out. It's staggering how many people don't even stop to look properly at their own eyes and notice them! The reason I became interested in this topic is because I noticed I have central heterochromia myself.

Most people with central heterochromia who are unaware that they have it usually make bizarre claims that their eyes "change colour" according to their mood / the light / what they're wearing. It is physically impossible for your eyes to change colour! What is actually happening is that those people probably have more than one colour present in their eyes, i.e they have some form of heterochromia iridum, but they are not aware of it because nobody has ever pointed it out.

Most of us will instantly spot cases of complete heterochromia (we will always notice a person with eyes that are each a different colour) because the lack of balance and symmetry in a human face throws us off and startles us. If one eye is blue and one is brown, we get a shock, and do a double take. Yet we don't tend to spot cases of central heterochromia, because in central heterochromia the eyes are virtually identical so the human face is still symmetrical, and there is nothing to startle us at all.

Well, under certain surroundings, one colour in unnoticed / undiagnosed central heterochromic eyes will stand out more than the other. Amber sunbursts in green eyes will stand out if the person wears amber clothing, and the green outer iris will stand out if they wear green clothing. Hence, people with unnoticed central heterochromia think their eyes "change colour" according to what they wear.

Another possibility is that the intensity of the light in certain conditions will illuminate the eye colour, making it appear more vivid than it would in shady conditions. In bright conditions, dark blue eyes may be illuminated and revealed to be blue, but in shady conditions, they may look slate grey.

My eyeball has become famous

i think EzraS is very cute

So I was reading about limbal rings (outer ring on eye) and I tried to find a picture where I could see mine really well.

Posting my first pic here. This always makes me nervous.




Truth be told, I don't think you've properly lived until you've taken a selfie of yourself with a bird on your shoulder or head. :^)

pretty boy!

i have a bird like that. it has the most annoying sound i have ever heard.

Yes. My grandparents have one and I really love her.
When they take her out she flies onto my shoulder which always makes me cringe, but I like it too, and then she rubs her head against my cheek. So cute. But that screeching when in the cage, YIKES!

I don't do normal pictures.


*no harm intended by the crossed-eyes.

oh my
