I got contact lenses this weekend.
Funny, I never thought of myself as a Girl Who Wears Glasses. I guess that came from years of only wearing them when absolutely necessary, like while driving and watching television. Other than that, they stayed in their little case, waiting for their moment in the sun.
Just this last year or two I've started wearing them all the time, mainly because
A) I started getting wrinkles from squinting. At such a young age, this is indescribably traumatizing.
B) The squinting itself was totally not cute. I can't even begin to express to you how much the opposite of cute this face is.
C) I like to be able to see what people are doing and if they are making faces at me. Having eyes that - without the eyeglass friends - could just be two glass orbs in my face for all the assistance they give me makes this difficult.
What it all comes down to is, I was a Girl Who Wears Glasses.
And now I'm not.
I also don't think of myself as a Girl With Long Hair, but I am that too.
This contact lens business is all a part of my new self-improvement kick and will - without a doubt, I'm sure - help to land me a maaaaaayan.
(For those of you who may be confused, that's "land me a man," not "land me a Mayan." While it would be neat and possibly anthropologically exciting to land me a Mayan, it's not really a priority in my life at the moment.)
(For that matter, neither is landing me a man. But I wouldn't bat him away should he try to land near me. I might even help him in his landing and taxi-ing. You never know.)
(Never.)
