I thought I'd share some old stories with you today, and since Lost_in_Translation said that he thinks my glasses are cool and LadyBuffySlayer even noted the similarity with Bayonetta's glasses (yay xD) I thought writing about them was a nice idea :D

So when I was a small kid I always thought glasses and braces to be THE uncoolest thing ever. Well guess what - Yes, I also had braces for 3 or 4 years when I was like 12 or 13^^ But back to the glasses: I got them when I was in 3rd grade (after the German school system.. elementary school basically), so I was about 7 or 8 years old. I still remember it that clearly, because it was so weird. There I was in class and we were writing down something from the chalkboard. I just had written down something and looked up again at it when from one moment to the next everything in more than one or two meters distance became kind of blurry. I was just sitting there like "what the..??", rubbed my eyes a few times and was confused. Then I just turned to a friend next to me and said "Hey, I can't see very clear anymore at the moment, could I copy that from you?" xD Luckily that was the last class for that day, so I went home and called my mom at her job. She answered right away and I was just like "Momma... I think I need glasses.." whereon she was like "What?? Why on earth would you need glasses?" So I told her what happened and she became was silent for a moment and then sighed and just said "Ok, so I guess we're gonna have to go to the doc tomorrow.." x)

And of course I also almost lost them several times somewhere near a lake or river, and I'm always scared like hell that they'll simply slip off when I'm on a ferry and stuff like that. Which has it's reasons! When I was in boarding school (Yes I've also been at a boarding school for 3 years ^^) I was in the boys dorm again one day (where I was most of the time as soon as school was over^^) and I was on the first floor and some friends came in on ground level. So I leaned over the balustrade to look down and talk to them, and suddenly my glasses started to slide off my nose! I did try to catch them when they fell, but the "wtf?!"-stunned moment took too long, haha. So they fell down, and of course, broke right in the middle, so I had to walk around for about a week without glasses, because they had to order new glasses for me.. Which was rather refreshing to be honest. To all of you who don't need glasses: You don't know how good it is. I really came to cherish the feeling of not wearing glasses, even though I couldn't really see clearly ^^ That's what brought me to the decision to get contact lenses first and to then get on the operation table one day when I've saved enough money ^^

Another fun fact about my glasses: Since they have very wide temple arms, I always have white stripes on my skin from my eyes to my ears in summer when I was out, like with wearing a ring on the beach xD

So, who's wearing glasses? Contacts? Any fun stories or facts? :D


P.S.: Dear FozzyTheGamer and Lombaxdestroyer: Eat this! *muhaha* xD


That's like 1,7L choc milk :>

P.P.S: No, buckets aren't allowed *looks to Beckett* ^^ Whatever you might bring next, remember that it should still somewhat have the attributes of a cup! :D
