cleolindaSoooooo now I have new glasses. We sweet-talked the Lenscrafters manager into filling a three-year-old prescription, and he even said I could come back (within 30 days) and they'd update the lenses free. Also, my mother's Triple A card somehow resulted in $99 off. I don't know, man. My one criterion was that they look as much like the old ones as possible--a slightly trianglish oval. So of course I walk out of there with rectangles. I mean, at least they're rounded, but they're very long, definite rectangles. I've had that same oval shape, in different variations, for about ten years now--and I would have been upset about the change if I weren't totally just like, "PLEASE PUT SOMETHING ON MY FACE." No one else was even there, so I had the manager and a clerk throwing frames around trying to find a good shape for my "wide temples," and square shapes are better on round faces, blah blah last month's issue of Mademoiselle blee, and when they found a pair that they and my mother liked, I was just like, "Fine, whatever." I squinted in the mirror and didn't blanch with revulsion, so I figured it would be all right. I guess I'll find out in class tomorrow if they look good--it's a small enough class (seven other people) that they'll notice and comment, but it's not like they know me so well that they're going to tread too carefully.
P.S. Please go read Vladimir's Phantom review and stop beating him up over Pirates. Don't scare the Squishy away!

I should see Phantom. Of course, I've been afraid of the Phantom ever since I was seven. It would not bode well.

Date: 2005-02-04 02:24 am (UTC)And on a somewhat off-topic note, I was wandering around the fanficrants community, and found an entry about Adele Sessler-- since I remembered her art, I followed that to a fandom wank (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/541129.html) about her, and saw that you'd commented about it.
Me-- "It's a small internet after all..."

From:Used to HATE my glasses ....
Date: 2005-02-04 03:40 am (UTC)My dad passed away just before this eye appt - and I ended up putting lenses w/ my prescription in one of his frames. (Fortunately my dad was quite the hipster and wore these cool little gold oval frames.) I love my glasses now ... and my mother loves to joke about how Dad still helps me see things clearly ...
Re: Used to HATE my glasses ....
Date: 2005-02-04 05:02 am (UTC)Had mine since I was 5.
Date: 2005-02-04 04:14 am (UTC)Yeah, had the tape directly over part of my lens that time, so I decided it was better to be blind than humiliated, and therefore untaped them soon-after and walked about semi-blind the rest of the day.
Too many numerous other times to count.
My glasses are like a physical part of me, I take them off only to sleep and shower (I sometimes swim with them) but I've recently found that the best ones for lack of breaking are plastic, so I have like...brown foresty glasses of awesomness...and I suddenly realized I need to clean them.
cheers, and happy all your lens problems worked out.

Date: 2005-02-04 05:03 am (UTC)Dude, for real. I should have gotten a new pair years ago, and I just couldn't deal with the idea that I might be changing one of my facial features, in essence. The only way it got done tonight was sheer emergency--like ripping a band-aid off.

I've had things stolen before, so I'm always paranoid about this sort of stuff.

Date: 2005-02-04 05:30 pm (UTC)She's great with cars, actually. A couple of years ago she passed her current car on to my sister and bought a new one for herself. She walked into the dealership and said, "Look, I want this make of car, and I want it with a moon roof, and I want it in California blue, and I want it for this price. Someone in this town is going to sell me that car to me. It can be you, or it can be someone else. Do you want my money?" And she totally got it, too.
