I didn't think I would miss them this much. It's not so much the shape as it is the color. I miss having RED glasses. I've been wearing the dark brown/tortoise-y ones on a regular basis, and while I like the shape ... I wish they were red.
These are pretty. (They're also $200.) I can't seem to find a pair that's a pretty shade of red, the right size, AND a good price. I'm very limited because of the size--it's harder to find glasses that are narrower, and with bigger (taller) lenses, they need to be narrower or else they'll do a lot of that "tiny head" thing. My purple cat-eye glasses are 51. The ones I'm wearing now are 48.
These are also 48.
The cool thing about this website is that they send you frames to try before you commit to buying anything, and they'll send you up to three pair. I just don't see any sense in paying $200 for something I can get much cheaper elsewhere. I guess if they were the perfect, bestest frames ever? Yeah, maybe ... no. Still no.
Oh my! Those ARE pretty frames! *Marks on list* ^o^
ReplyDeleteHave you considered going blonde Senpai? That might work!
Blonde looks fine on me, I guess--I've been blonde before--but I'm not a fan of the upkeep. It's not just the money, but also the time. And knowing I have to do it again in a few months.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not the blonde spirit Senpai! When you're blonde, the world waits. It's not just a color thing, It's a "becoming more awesome/F the consequences" metaphor. You didn't feel anything like that in your experience as a blonde? In my opinion, Totally worth it =3 demo don't get me wrong, long black hair is perfectly fine too =].
ReplyDeleteBTW, How do you feel about Eggnog?
My hair looks pretty dark on camera, but falls more into the dark blonde/golden brown category. So when it grows out it's too dark for blonde and too light for black. If I were to dye it any color I might go either a dark brown or a more cinnamon hue. So the growth wouldn't be as obvious.
ReplyDeleteAs a blonde I don't think I felt any different. Maybe it came at a time when so many things about my appearance changed all at once that the blonde thing was just a small part of it. I ran into a good friend from high school who I hadn't seen in about a year, and she didn't know who I was. Maybe stuff like that weirded my blonde experience.
I've never had eggnog, and I wouldn't ever try it, for various reasons.
Merry Christmas Senpai. I forgot to wish you Merry Christmas last year. I'm not the writer you are, I can hardly spell =S let alone arrange words to convey my feelings into anything resembling a coherent sentence.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I can't believe I'm saying this =S, because technically this is one of THOSE phone calls... I'm not usually such a downer. Usually I'm at a nice Christmas party having fun and enjoying myself. There was no escaping this time =,{. Never would I have imagined I would be the one confiding in a total stranger like some old person in despair... YES I AM HAVING A NIGHTMARE AWFUL CHRISTMAS TIME!!! T_T I'm trapped in a room of people who all hate each other.
We are sitting awkwardly, without anything to talk about. This is horrible! I'm going to cry the second I get home! Never again, *sniff* Gomenasai...
I hope your Christmas Is going better than mine XP.
Merry Christmas to you too.
ReplyDelete"Are you thinking about taking your own life?" That was call center protocol, though generally only if someone was hinting at it pretty heavily. Hopefully you're not quite at that point yet, although I know it's possible that you're close. Christmas stuff, whether holiday parties or family gatherings, is awkward.
So take a deep breath and remember that Christmas will be over soon and then life will go right back to normal. Hopefully. In theory.
Me, I think I'm joining my family people (the ones who own the house I live in) and some of their friends for dinner--friends who look down their noses at me because I'm not getting a PhD. So I too will get to endure a little awkwardness.
Hang in there. ><
