I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

my eyes are weird. one of them is a little higher than the other and both of them are a little close together. my brother said that i wrong saying that was because i spend too much time on the computer (like 5+ hours w/o breaks). he says that too much computer time only causes nearsightedness/farsightedness/alter in 20/20 vision which i used to have. :( i have slightly worse eyesight now but dont wear contacts b/c of my horrible allergies. i dont like glasses. he says reading books/etc w/o much light does this.

Actually, in contradiction to what has been already said, your brother is partly right but not entirely.
Yes, working on a computer for many hours a day without breaks and reading, etc with low light levels can cause eyesight to worsen. However, it will affect facial structure in any way. For example, I have been working at a computer 35 hours per week, then coming home and being sat at my own PC for a number of hours each day for at least 3 and a half years. As a result of this, I have slowly become slightly long sighted (meaning I can see things better when they are at a distance). However, the actual structure of my face has not altered.
The description of your face actually sounds perfectly normal. Nobody's face is perfectly symmetrical and although you would have to look quite closely, there are pretty obvious differences in most people. For example, after studying my face for (far too many) hours in the mirror, I can see that my right eye is slightly bigger and the eyelid droops a tiny bit. On looking at photos of myself from years before computers were a common household feature, I can see that has always been the case.
Unfortunately, there really is very little you can do about it but please accept that it is normal and the only person who is ever likely to notice it is you and only then because you are looking for it.
The only other thing I will say is that if you spend a lot of time infront of your PC, you should be having your eyes tested on average every one to two years. If they feel you should wear glasses, however much you may not like them, you need to wear them. The chances are that without realising it, your eyes are being strained by focusing on the PC for so long and this will eventually cause your eyesight to deteriorate very gradually overtime, possibly without you realising it. However, wearing the correct glasses, even if only when sat at the PC, will help to prevent your eyesight from worsening and it will make your eyes feel more comfortable when using the PC, so please do consider it. Glasses may not always be attractive, but they serve a purpose and that is a lot more important.
