the upside of wearing glasses

Due to my incredibly terrible eyesight, I have to wear glasses all the time. I've worn them for so long I don't even really notice I'm wearing them any more, but they never really bothered me. In fact, the only time I wish that I didn't have to wear glasses is when I see a truly awesome pair of sunglasses*.

Space Woman Shades in Gold, from Nasty Gal

I want these so very badly. I'm considering getting them and then asking the optometrist to change to lenses.



*and when I go swimming. Although that's really more of a safety thing, since I everybody turns into blurs, and it's hard to tell if that blur is someone you know or if it's just some random person/something being blown in the breeze.
