Temporal artery: What you describe is likely your temporal artery. It is normal to see it, if your skin is thin, have thin fat layer under skin or hair to cover it up.

Arteries throb.: The temporal arteries and temporal veins lie immediately adjacent to each other. During exercise or increased activity, the arteries will pulsate because of increased heart rate and flow of blood. What you are seeing is the arterial pulsation. It looks like the vein pulsating because the vein sits over the artery and can move with the artery.
