No Harry Potter look alike here 2005-09-08 7:47 a.m. Today (allegedly) I get my new glasses. I went to the eye doctor yesterday. Went through the whole rigamaroll I go through every single year. Get asked why I'm not wearing my contacts......"Because my allergies are SO bad right now if I put them in they get so dry I have to have a fork to pry them out and after they are out I look like a zombie with blood red eyes, is that a good enough reason?" So he tells me he's going to have me try a new kind of contact, one that should be kinder to my allergy ridden eyes AND is cheaper (you just said the magic word doc!). So they ordered me a trial pair and they'll be in sometime. I also got me a new pair of glasses. I had her look and I hadn't gotten a new pair since 2001. Can you believe that shit? You rarely even see pictures of me with them on because they are hideous and I hate them. But I wear them all the time. So after air being blown into my eyes (DAMN I hate that!), an extensive eye exam, and picking out glasses I wrote a check for $179.25. Man that one hurt. I walked out feeling like I had just been hit in the stomach really hard. But I got me some cool ass glasses. It's going to take me a while to get used to them though. They are really small and sorta wirey, they are a copper/dark mauve color. Depends on how the light is. But they are cute. They are kind of squarish, maybe more rectangularish. Well shit appparently I can't describe them for shit but I'll take some pictures. Since I wear them most of the time I thought I'd better at least look decent.

So the eyeglass lady asked me if my real name was Joey. People ask me that all the time. Sometimes I just wanna say "No, my REAL name is Susan, I just WANNA be called Joey because it's so feminine and not confusing at all". I just laughed and said "yes". If my real name wasn't Joey do you think I'd go by it? Nope. She laughed and said she doesn't feel so bad then. So I figured she had a unisex name too like mine. Turns out her name is Bert. Bert? Are you kidding me? After that one I was overjoyed to be named Joey.

So yeah, that's the eye doctor story. We'll see if I get them today.

And as I sit here in a desk that is overflowing with snot rags (used Kleenex) with watery, itchy eyes, sore and red nose from blowing it so much, I now have the hiccups. Talk about pleasant. *blow* *hiccup* *sniffle* Hope this doesn't last long.
