BLIND AS A BAT I TELL YOU!

As i write this post, i am quite literally pressing my eyeballs up to the monitor. I am sitting, craned over the keyboard, hands at a decidedly UNergonomic position, head inches from the screen, squinting like a vampire in sunlight*. **

Have i never mentioned that i am quite, quite blind? I am.
And today, 10 minutes before my dance class (that would make it 7:50pm ET, Feb 18, 2009), i accidentally snapped my glasses in half.

These aren't little mamsy-pansy glasses, so i'm actually a teensy, tiny little bit proud of myself. I broke metal and plastic and lots of money today! *Flexes muscle* Then, i come back to reality and realize that *woops* i NEED that hunk of metal, plastic, and money. So, now i am blind.
I hate my contacts. With a passionate passion. They make my eerie blue eyes look creepy-alien-come-to-earth-to-harvest-cadavers-and-eat-spaghetti-like. Well, that's the way I take it. To add to this hungry-harvester look i've got going, the bags under my eyes become more promininent than usual. Also, they showcase the fact that one of my pupils is bigger than the other. Yes, its a little-known, but still true fact.
In addition to all this, I JUST DON'T LIKE CONTACTS! They get itchy and sore easily and can fall out absurdly easily. Its just not right.

Whenever i wear my contacts to dance class, Laura or Rachel will ask me if i just didn't wear my glasses that day. I always have to laugh. Really, if i hadn't worn my glasses OR contacts, you would know. I would most likely be talking to a wall.



*Is this accurate? One would think vampires would squint not only because they are accustomed to the darkness around them, but also because they are extraodinarily sparkly. Oh yes, I AM one of those Twilightkids. (we'll save THAT discussion for another day...) Maybe it would have been more appropriate to say someone looking at a vampire in sunlight? I also could've added something about Edward Cullen, riding a shiny rocket on a sunny day....hehee...
** Also, i am listening to Little Shop of Horrors, but as ipods and musical soundtracks require only your EARS and the LISTENING SENSE, they pertain less to the current topic- BLINDNESS.
