I can’t wink.
Is that normal?
I mean, yes, I can do the physical action of shutting one eye and keeping the other open, but I can’t really wink.
Some people look so cool when they wink. Some people can pull out one of those reassuring winks whenever they want. Or a secretive wink. Or a conspiratorial wink. And they do it effortlessly.
But when I wink?
I look weird. My face is kind of scrunchy and my “wink” doesn’t quite have the proper effect.
I feel like I’m missing out on some really cool skill set. This is how I felt before I could do fish lips or raise only one eyebrow and I’ve mastered those now. But a wink is more than just making the muscles do what I want. It’s mastering the cool.
I think I’m too much of a goof to make the wink work for me.
I’ll have to just stick to reassuring fish lips.
Those reassure people, right?




i really like to think i look cool. If squinting intently can considered cool instead of creepy.
haha, i can wink (only with the right) but i definitely don’t think it helps make me cool.
i do wish i could raise one eyebrow though, that to me was always the cool thing. heck, if The Rock can do it you KNOW it’s cool!
Winking is overrated.
I can’t pull it off either.
Not that I’m bitter… ;)
I can’t wink either. I look like a total spaz when I try. Maybe one day I’ll perfect it.

I am an awesome winker (for realz, i have been told this by others). However, I never wink unless for some reason I’m in a group of people talking about winking. Whenever I see someone wink I always say to myself, “Self, you should really utilize your winking skills and wink at people when the time is right” but…I never think of it. Wasted talent, I say.
Are we friends on the book of face? If we’re not, we should be. I have photographic evidence of my inability to wink. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=-3&id=1225862200#!/photo.php?pid=550710&id=1225862200
Flipflops: Hey, intensity can be cool. I mean, camping is in tents, and a lot of people think that’s cool. (Oh wow, I totally just stole my husband’s joke there…)
NSJ: Hahaha I love that you used The Rock as your measure of cool.
Paula: No need to be bitter as long as we can still ;) online, right? ;) It’s cooler this way anyway, don’t you think? ;)
Heather: You can spaz out with the rest of then!
Arielle: I hope one day you will share your winking awesomeness with the rest of us!
Heather Rose: Yup, we’re friends and now I’m totally looking that pic up hehe!
