this whole thing is well written, especially on multiple reads where it holds up well... i haven't yet decided if your life is particularly full of odd coincidences and connections, or if you are particularly skilled at picking out the sorts of things we all actually have but never notice, or a bit of both... and either way it makes for a very interesting narrative to follow!
on the eye thing, i was fascinated by all the commentary on this. here's another one to throw in -- i literally do not, can not look at people in the eyes while talking because i am lipreading. in fact, when i was younger, people thought i was hitting on them all the time because of how intently i watched their faces/lips. in particular, i never really got complaints that i wasn't looking at people in the eye -- perhaps that was offset by the fact that my body language was clearly completely orientated on them? i don't know.
but when i *do* look at people in the eye, i find it odd for no particularly discernable reason, other than that some of you above have said things that do resonate a bit.
