Hey, Allyson, I know you just shelled out the big bucks for glasses, but did you consider contacts?
Here is the problem. Right up until now, I have had a wonderful blurry filter.
Now, I can see every line, acne mark, zit, the deepening marrionette lines from being too fat...I can now see that from three feet away.
And I came to the horrifying realization that everyone has been seeing me this way, too.
And so I'm going to be 33 next month and I have no boyfriend and no kids and I'll never get married and I'll be alone with my glasses avoiding mirrors and hoping the cigarettes kill me faster.
Contacts just ain't gonna help.
I came to the horrifying realization that everyone has been seeing me this way, too.
How? I mean, did you verify this?
Hell, I just turned 37, have no boyfriend or kids, will never get married at this rate, and I only wear glasses half the time.
Zenkitty, if you didn't like X1, I can't imagine you liking X3. I think it's generally accepted that X3 will be much worse than X1. I liked X1 quite a bit and expect X3 to be a stinker.
Would love to be surprised.
Perkins--but that was the subject's favourite outfit. So the mind-losing didn't work against the purpose of the exercise.
There are two krav students who moved up to the Seattle area to open a chocolate company. One of them is back down here on vacation after their busy season, and he brought candy. Dammit. They have this one fig one that's delish. And I managed to snag two of them today. Yesterday was this Nutty Irishman one...this guy gets to design chocolates. That's a job.
I know, ita, but I think the subject was a little nutty too.
What is the name of the chocolate company? I am going to be in Seattle in a couple of weekends, so maybe I can buy you some.
I can guarantee you that no one has been seeing you the way you see yourself, Allyson. If nothing else, your reflection is all flipped around.
I didn't claim to be rational, ita. I'm emotional and raging about my face.
Allyson, dollface, my advice to you is to use your lovely new glasses to look at OTHER people's faces for a while. Not TV people, real people--people you know who have lovers or husbands or whatever. You will see the same amount, if not more, of zits, wrinkles, lines or whatever that you have. Hell, you don't have to look at a lot of people--just check MY face out. I have way more of all those things than you--plus a plethora of delightful broken capillaries, which give me a lovely "Tip O'Neill" look. And yet, people love me and I have friends. So my advice, given with all affection, is to step away from the mirror with your judgmental self.
I've been wishing recently I had those crinkly lines around my eyes. But no.
this guy gets to design chocolates. That's a job.
Ooh - does he use CAD and wireframe animation?
ION, did they get this headline from the SciFi Channel's programming?
Mutant Chicken Grows Alligatorlike Teeth
Working late in the developmental biology lab one night, Matthew Harris of the University of Wisconsin noticed that the beak of a mutant chicken embryo he was examining had fallen off. Upon closer examination, he found that the snubbed beak of the mutant chicken had tiny bumps and protuberances along the edge of its beak that looked like teeth, alligator teeth to be specific. The accidental discovery revealed that chickens retain the ability to grow teeth, even though birds lost this feature long ago. The finding also resurrected the controversial theory of one of the founders of comparative anatomy, Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire.
Run away!
One more thing--Allyson, don't get a magnifying mirror if you can help. I have one so I can actually get the mascara on my lashes instead of everywhere else. I have to step away quickly, because if I linger for long, I want to claw my own splotchy face off. Once I walk away, the evil judgmental me ends to quiet down and leave me alone.
