I went to my eye doctor the summer between my two years in Japan, freaking that I needed new glasses, everything was blurry and I couldn't see a thing. He gave me an eye exam. I'd had bifocals for a couple years in college, and was dreading the result. "How much did my eyes change?"
The doctor looks at me and at his chart. "Well, your prescription did change. By the smallest measurable amount." heheh.
My prescription didn't change at all. It's exactly the same. Apparently the difference between looking through scratched lenses and clear lenses is enough to cause adjustment difficulties. It's amazing how much the smallest differences effect things.

This makes no sense.
Could be muscle loss. They're heavier than fat.
(Reasoning based on the vacation from exercising.)
Huh, could be. That would kinda suck, 2 weeks leads to 5 lbs of muscle loss, though.

Craziness! Are they different frames? That can make a big difference too.

Yes, and they're angled differently. It's driving me nuts! I keep thinking I see something out of the corner of my eye and it turns out to be the side of the frame. :P

Hey Shiny:
** spoiler omitted **
That actually sounds like really good advice. If anyone wants to take a look and stop me from saying anything stupid, the bomb I'm about to drop is spoilered below:
What it comes down to is that I don't think this is going to work. I really like you--you're interesting, intelligent, attractive, just about everything I look for in a woman. The problem is that I've come to realize that I'm not even close to being over Tory Liz (my ex-fiancee) yet, and I'm completely unprepared for any sort of emotional investment. I wouldn't want to rush a relationship and cheapen the thing for both of us.
I was in a very serious relationship for three years, and I still need some time to figure myself out and deal with all of my various demons, get my feet back under me financially, and figure out where I'm going in life. I really wanted this to work in the here and now, but I ran out of gas. If I find myself in the right position somewhere down the road, we might be able to pick up where we left off, but right now I think it would be best if we both moved on.
Again, I seriously can't thank you all enough for your help on this and other problems I've been having recently.

It's very good Shiny. Direct and honest. Good luck.

You're better with words than I am. Hope she takes it well.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Wednesday. Although, in all truth, it's looking to be another marginally craptastic day. Got a multi-hour phone conference later on today. One of my co-workers will be at the meeting I'm calling in to, and it's sort of my job to make sure he doesn't say anything the rest of us will regret.

;-)
My glasses are small and have no frames so that they virtually disappear on my face and make no difference to how I look. My point, as always, is large, but sometimes obscured by magical means or dull senses or willful obstinacy. But I'm not really making a point RE Bitter Thorn.

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to add my voice to other's the on this, Shiney, but I looks like I didn't need to. Your words are both sensitive and heartfelt. Salud.

That cracked me up on multiple levels - it reminded me of sailor moon (which has just been announced will be remade in Japan), and of an in joke I have with one of my darklight sisterhood players. And oh yeah, I I meant the earlier old spice guy, not Terry crews, who is still cool, btw.

Isaiah Mustafa. Which you have to admit is a pretty darn cool name.

Oh, wow, flashbacks to third grade and trying to get home early enough to catch the last ten minutes of Sailor Moon.

Ooh, really? They're remaking sailor moon? Cool! I loved that show. No matter how much I got laughed at for watching it. :)

...and now I feel old. Used to rush home from class to watch it too. Just, you know, in college. The first attempt at college.

I just hope they get more consistent studio quality. Some of those studios have VERY different styles. got annoying.
hmmm...
should I dig out my old fanfics? One won a prize at an anime convention. Another was about 200 pages long before I wrote myself into a corner.
time travel is hard.
:P
ああ、 懐かしい。
