- Oooh. Is this possible? I always hear of people getting 'the
- operation" to make their eyes bigger, but I've never heard of anyone
- wanting to make it smaller.
- However, one thing I HATE here in San Diego is I've had
- several people tease me for being a white person from Japan and
- speaking Japanese all the time and stuff, they have said "Why don't
- you go get slanted eyes already" and laugh. OOOOHHH I hate this.
