My girlfriend has been telling me that I have a big nose. I have never thought that this was true. In high school my two best friends (who were twin brothers) had big noses, and they were picked on accordingly (very sparingly because they were popular). I however, was never picked on for having a big nose, and therefore concluded that the size of my nose fit into the *normal* category. This arrangement has been very satisfactory to me for the past several years (nothing counts before then because all kids have disproportional features at some point in their life... right?) and I figured that I *deserved* a normal size nose, due to the sheer size and stature of my ears. The other day though, I happened to notice that I can NOT drink out of a coffee travel mug, without my nose hitting the inside of the lid (and closing the pressure balance hole...). I'm sure some of you are laughing at me being a moron, but honestly, this pressure balance hole is important!!! I can't be having my nose getting in the way! It just so happens that when the pressure hole is closed, liquid does not flow as smoothly, and has the gurgling effect that you get when you turn a 2-liter upside down to pour it. Seeing that it is ONLY a coffee travel mug, the effect is not quite as dramatic, but there nonetheless. In addition to this, after taking a sip of my coffee, when i start lowering the travel mug, my nose pulls away from the pressure hole, and WHAM! The coffee floodgates are opening, just as my desire for coffee has been quenched!!! So I find myself tilting my head to drink out of the travel mug (when I subconciously remember...). I'm sure people are watching, and thinking "Look at that big nosed fella drinking out of his mug with his head tilted... what a moron!". Maybe I just need to switch mugs...
Posted by kposey at August 12, 2003 10:50 AM | TrackBackNao always had a way of picking things like that out... to her my chin was too small (hence, goatee) my nose too large (but then all Europeans have big noses to the Japanese) and my face looked best from the side... I don't know, seemed overly critical to me. I'd say don't sweat it, the only person who probably really notices is Heidi anyway. I mean think about it, how often do you walk around and make fun of other people's noses? I've got better things to do all day than to pick apart other people's facial structure and I've got to think that the majority of people out there are too wrapped up in their own little world to even really notice others around them in that great a detail.
