I FORGOT TO MENTION
I was supposed to get my new glasses on the 23rd... and they did not come in.
Then yesterday they called! And I got there like a half hour before they closed and now I have my new tape-less glasses! It's a Christmas miracle! :D
Also I haven't been to sleep yet :O and I haven't been sleeping well lately... I am so exhausted. I'll see you all later with the obligatory gift list. :D

Went for eye exam today. My eyes changed a small bit (it's now 20/400 in the right eye, 20/375 in the left... it was 20/375 and 20/350 before). Which means... blind as a bat (or a Scott. zing! sry Scott, ilu. I swear. Uh... American Idol joke. In case you don't know.)
I picked out frames... they're kind of ugly. They're slightly more square than these and not black (sadface!) they're ~Christie Brinkley~ frames in a coppery rose gold pinkish rusty whatever the hell I don't care, with the no wire on the bottom like I like. I swear the Wal*Mart eye people are the best ever though, super quick and really polite and professional and very lovely all around.
uh, forgot what else there was. Hmm. So... kbai. <3

I think the depth perception thing is getting worse. Nothing has been where I've expected it to be for awhile now. Adding to the problem is the fact that my long brittle nails are all breaking, meaning things are now closer to my finger tips than I'm expecting because I keep thinking there's a bunch of nail there. This is all very disconcerting. I am due for a check-up, but, you know, YOU pay for it, because I can't.
My boyfriend's trying to get me to let him teach me how to drive. I said not until he turns 21, like it says you have to be on the back of the permit. I'm not breaking the law, folks. I did do a little bit of driving with him though (SHH DON'T CALL THE COPS) but until April, no driving for me. Which is fine, because my horrible eyes will get me up a tree one of these days (I can see it now: "IT WAS LIKE A MILE AWAY I SWEAR IT JUST JUMPED OUT" I mean, do you even know how many mail boxes I've almost hit? Like a million, that's how many. And I haven't even driven outside of the mile between my grandma's house and my houses since February. In conclusion I am a terrible driver and I don't want to ever drive ever.)
Also, I think my body doesn't know how to burp, because I keep getting those weird chest pains you get when you drink a lot of carbonation. They're really, really awful and I'd like to drink some soda without having it come back to haunt me in the form of godawful gas pains. I mean, come on, how much more of an old lady do I have to get? I already drink caffeine-free soda. Now I can't drink any at all? WTF.
Oh oh oh also, I reeeeeeally need to get new shampoo and conditioner. I've almost run out of my usual stuff so I've been using back-ups, and my hair is really hating me for it. I mean, it's gotten so dry I think I could strip paint with it. It still looks as absolutely gorgeous and shiny, shiny, shiny as ever, of course, because my hair is vain, but it feels like I'm running my fingers through a paint brush. Only the use of leave-in conditioner (of the same brand as my regular conditioner) has kept it from curling up into a tangled, sentient mass on top of my head and attempting to either run away or bite my fingers. I'm just glad I've been able to detangle it at all, it's been dreadlocking something awful since I started running low on my usual stuff. And I don't even want to talk about the greasiness I've been getting from not using my usual shampoo. Awful stuff. Herbal Essences, you own my soul. How did I ever use Suave before?? I guess this is what my mother always meant when I was a wee short-haired lass: "You want long hair? Have fun taking care of it."
She didn't mention that it's only fun to take care of when it isn't trying to strangle you in your sleep because you haven't offered the proper shampoo and conditioner sacrifice. Seriously, I used the hair dryer for a bit today and I think I heard it snarl. It does need a trim though (SHHHH)

Remember my crazy cousin, the one who threw herself out of a moving car and is now in jail? One of her older sisters (only 21, with absolutely NO MONEY, and a mama with NO MONEY, a daddy in jail, no job, and no babydaddy) had a baby today. She named her, get this, Bianca Marie. I'm glad it wasn't some weird soap opera name like Blakely or Peyton or Corinth or something.
I'm just so relieved that they're okay, because I had such a bad feeling today. It still hasn't really gone away, but according to my grandmother (who was there and practically delivered the baby herself, despite running for the hills at my birth) everyone's doing great. So, uh, wtf.
In other news...
Yesterday I went to Wal*Mart for an eye exam and found out that I am so, so, so blind. I knew I needed new glasses, I just didn't really realize how badly. And the glasses I have now are so beat up from, like, five years of wearing them that I had to get all new frames, which scared me because I'm really attached to these. I picked a pair almost exactly the same except in black, which I guess is more adult. And probably looks better than silver on my face. Anyway, these glasses are prescribed for 20/250 in the left eye and 20/300 in the right eye. My new glasses will be L: 20/325 and R: 20/350. For those of you clueless in the land of eyesight, that means I AM SO SO FREAKING BLIND, and am currently using glasses that don't work for me. I had an eye exam before the prom last year and my left eye was only 275 (no change for the right) so since last year I've had a crazy shift in eyesight.
My mother thinks it's so bad that she's cancelled my driving lesson for this week until I get my new glasses on the 13th. Which is, you know, pretty awesome, because I'm a horrible driver and I really hate driving :(.
