I
got contacts, but you know what I can't do? See better. It's
possible that I may even see worse. I can't tell. Well, when
I take them out, and realize that my vision is bad, the blurriness
is different than when I have them in. It's like wearing dirty
glasses. You can see better obviously than if you didn't have
them on, but they're dirty, so it's a whole new problem, and
one more irritating because you're not used to it. Turns out
that the only problem with my vision is that I have Astigmatism
(which I always thought up until yesterday was a stigmatism,
the "a" being
just an improper pronoun, "stigmatism" being the
noun.) Anyway, dictionary.com defines it as:
a·stig·ma·tism
( P ) Pronunciation Key (-stgm-tzm)
n.
A visual defect in which the unequal curvature of one or more
refractive surfaces of the eye, usually the cornea, prevents
light rays from focusing clearly at one point on the retina,
resulting in blurred vision.
So, I see double. I guess the worse
it gets, the more split the light goes and more it seems like
double. I mean, it doesn't seem like double to me until I'm
looking at a light and then I put my glasses on and THEN it
really seems like two images coming together to form one.
Until then though, it's all relative to me. I see long, blurred,
overlapping images and define that as one without realizing
I'm seeing two. Well, now I know better, so
now, everything "looks" double to me now only because
I know NOW that they are. See what I'm saying? Anyway, the
doctor wouldn't believe my greasy-tears problem. She refused
to accept it. She just sorta looked at me and was like, "Your
eyes have moisture, it's good." I'm like, "No, but
so much moisture that the world looks like an impressionist
painting?" So, here I am, wearing my contacts, and I
can't see shit. I mean, she SAID this is my prescription,
but I'm telling you, I cannot see as far as I did with my
glasses, and even with those I know I needed a stronger prescription.
I'm sorry, but if I can't read the damn sign on the highway,
then I NEED a stronger pair. Don't tell me I don't. I can't
see. I KNOW I can't see, I want YOU to help me because THAT'S
WHAT YOU DO. And don't tell me that I don't have greasy tears.
I think I know.
Okay, so anyway, my sister's wedding was out of control awesome.
I went so smoothly that it may have been the fastest day of
my life. Every minute was planned from the hair going up to
the last song of the night. It was a beautiful, happy day,
and there could never be a wedding more perfect than that
one. Well, hopefully whenever I have one, it'll be just as
happy.
So, it's seem to be a fact that I feel weird if I don't have
Stern in the morning, then Friends and Will and Grace in the
afternoon. I know, it's like an addiction, but they stabilize
me. I haven't had that since last Thursday, and now it's Wednesday,
first time with Stern and Friends and Will and Grace, and
I feel normal. Not that I felt bad before, but it's like a
messed up pH if I don't have those things surrounding my day.
And yes, I know how sick that sounds, so shut up.
Let's see, what else has been going on...the move is coming
up Very-Hella-Wicked soon. Can't even go into that. Mixed
emotions there. I mean, I'm happy I'm moving. I know why I'm
going, I know I don't regret it no matter what, I know it's
going to be the beginning to a part of my life I can't quite
even imagine yet, but nothing is scary like the scariness
of leaving home, even if it's not the first time. I don't
think there is that much a person can do to prepare for the
emotional side of it...well, other than distraction anyway,
but even distraction is just a delaying of the inevitable
- the nervous breakdown when it hits you that you ARE far,
that this ISN'T a temporary change, that THIS is your new
life. Yeah, I'll do my share of crying, and that WON'T mean
I wish I wasn't there and that I wish I hadn't moved. It'll
just be all part of the adjustment. You'll be there to witness,
so if you don't like my depressing entries, you'll have to
steer clear of those when it happens.
Of course, then there are the fun parts of moving. I'll share
all those perks too.
What else, what else?? Jesus, I think I just have NOTHING
to say about anything. All I've been thinking about is scheduling,
planning, organizing. Creativity has been the last thing on
my mind.
