My eyelid feels like it's twitching.

Pretty much what the title says. I've never actually seen it (in a mirror) and it might just be a feeling, but it's kind of annoying.
It doesn't hurt or anything. It's like someone just kind of rubbing my eyelid for a few seconds.
Should I care about this?

At night, the ice weasels come."
This happens to me when i don't get enough.
It's not the sleep thing as I get a good 8-11 hours of sleep (during the holiday break) and I rarely drink soda or coffee.
Haven't had a banana in awhile though and I am fairly stressed out about a trip.
This brings me to another question. I have trouble where I unconsciously internalize stress which gives me *wicked* stomach and intenstine cramps and gives me massive diarhea often for days.
I don't feel stressed in the sense of me going "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?!" but the cramps things are definately noticable.
Is there anything I can do? Any OTC meds that might help this? Anti-diarheal medicines are a crapshoot - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It's especially bothersome when I'm at someone's house and I have to be on the toilet for 20+ minutes (this is not an exaggeration).

Your stress level is a factor but it's really a potassium deficiency that's getting you. Eating bananas can restore some of the balance in your system and help with the squirts as well. Not only that, because you're on the toilet constantly, you're losing water....fast. The water in your body needs to be replaced. Try some juice to get the balance back in your system; avoid overdoing it because you can upset your stomach even worse with too much citric acid. If you get a queasy feeling, slow down and drink a glass of water over the space of ten to fifteen minutes.
Beyond that, exhaustion can occur even if you are getting plenty of sleep. The body needs restful sleep. And that doesn't mean passed out drunk. If this persists past the holidays, consider seeing a sleep therapist. Good luck.
Interesting side note - Until the very first day of 9th grade, I was fairly 'normal' as far as stress goes. But the very first week of 9th grade (this was 7+ years ago) I had shivers, cramps, the whole nine yards.
Ever since then it has come and gone, seemingly when I'm at places I don't want to be (like a shitty job). I also get seemingly (but unconsciously) anxious when I'm not around my own house.
I have trouble using the restroom anywhere else as my systems 'clamp down' which makes the cramps even worse. Doctors said they can't find anything physically wrong (though I'm not sure if they checked my potassium levels) and thus it might very well all be in my head.
Sure wish I knew what the hell happened to me.

Well, as far as I remember, you would have been in the range for early onset of any number of anxiety disorders. Its been a while since my Abnormal Pysch course though.
I usually make sure I'm properly hydrated if I start getting twitchy.
I'm willing to bet that your health insurance has a provision for Mental Health care. Maybe you should get yourself evaluated by a professional, for peace of mind, if nothing else.
For your stomach probs, see a doctor about IBS (Irritated Bowel Syndrome).
Anyways, see a doc, he might notice something that was missed earlier, or even just have some advice about stress reduction if it is purely pyschosomatic.
