Shit.

Because this evening just wasn't being bad enough, I appear to have broken my glasses. No problems, I have a spare pair, right?

Yeah, sure. My guess is that they're on my dresser at home, because I sure as hell don't see them anywhere up here.

Soyeah, until I get unlazy and fix¹ one of the two broken pairs of glasses I currently have in my possession, I am either blind or sunglassed. Sigh.

This would be less of a problem if my sunglasses didn't give me a bit of a headache. Or maybe just teh sunglasses/computer problem. Whatever. My current choices are blind or in pain. (And I'm relitively confident that it's the fact that I'm using the sunglasses as normal glasses, and not the fact that I've been crying. The two kinds of headaches feel slightly different.)

Soyeah. I'm having a bit of a piss poor evening. I think it is time for me to go find something very distracting to do.

Okay, that's done. I think it's time for me to go do something very distracting now. Catch you lot later.

MOOP!

1: Unlazy and unvain. I could have my blue glasses wearable in about ten minutes if I didn't care so much about the fact that I think tape looks desperately silly.

ETA: Also sucktastic about my sunglasses, they are polerized in such a way that, from certain angles, Vera's screen looks completely black. Which is confusing as all hell. I thought for a second that there had been a power surge or something.

I know I might not be the person you want to talk to right now, but if you ever want to talk, you know how to find me.

I had to wear my polarized sunglasses for about three weeks at the start of my second semester freshman year. They had gotten the lens prescription backwards so each eye had the opposite refraction than it should. Everyone thought I was very strange. Are your sunglasses the right prescription? They might be slightly off, which can cause obnoxious headaches.

You could get a whole bunch of different colored electrical tape and turn your blue glasses into crazy striped tape glasses. And then you'd be making a statement (where statement ≠ I am a dork and have broken my glasses)

Oh, also, I hope you don't mind if I ask you a favor: bite tirerim for me. I have found out from him that fiddledragon found out that if he doesn't get bitten often enough he will explode. So I am worried. Also, it's good stress relief. I recommend his upper arms. They're bizarrely/delightfully stretchy. It's also good stress relief.

Also, trying to write linearly does not work well if I'm tired. Strike the last sentence from the previous comment as it is repetitious. I probably thought it twice and therefore wrote it twice. I'm not a terribly good writer. It's easier on a typewriter where I type a lot slower than I think so I have time to go over what I'm writing before I've written it. It's too fast writing on a computer. Also I should go to bed. Because I'm overtired and realizing that I'm babbling and not making much sense. Good night.

Use gaff &/or electrical tape. If you must tape them together, use something that proclaims the techy within you!

Both are even available in orange.

Use cellophane tape to hold them over until you can get them properly fixed. I had to do that on one of my old pairs; the frame snapped from the lens being ever so slightly too big, and I had to wait I think two weeks before I could get new frames, so I taped the old ones up with cellophane tape. It was good enough, and if you don't use too much tape it's hard to notice anyway (depending on how your glasses are broken - obviously if it's the lens there's not much you can do at all).

Polarized lenses are fun. The ones in my sunglasses, when I look through the tinted windows of my car in the sun, create subtle rainbows on everything. It's kinda trippy.

Dang, somebody already took my suggestion of orange electrical tape!
