In The Wee Hours

sadlikeknivesI have come to the conclusions that:
1. I am getting a tattoo of the owl of Athena. I've decided my shoulder blade is the least problematic place to get it. There's just one problem: the dreaded wedding dress phenomena. Tattoos that look just plain cool at all other times look horrendous and tacky when one is in formal wear.
Unless one is Angelina Jolie, and I doubt even she could pull it off with most wedding dresses. But then, Angelina Jolie wouldn't be caught dead in most wedding dresses. Perhaps the problem is that most women are just not enough like Angelina Jolie.
Of course, this presupposes I get married, which presupposes that I find a guy willing to marry me. Since the way things are going now is indicative of lifelong chastity, this may be a moot point.
2. I will eventually be adopting. Probably from Ethiopia.
3. I will be spending this summer volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. I may be a puny weakling, but I can follow directions with the best of them.
4. The Brontes were of the devil.
5. If this headache doesn't go away soon, I am going to hurt something.

Date: 2005-09-05 06:51 am (UTC)Once I get back to my apartment, I can quote my exact blindness at you (my copy of my prescription is there). But it's something like 900/20 in one eye and 750/20 in the other. I think.

Date: 2005-09-05 07:13 am (UTC)I thought if your eyes were really bad, they wouldn't let you wear contacts. Mine are average, I guess -- -3.75 in the right, and -3.25 on the left. My brother has terrible eyes -- his prescription is something like -11 in one eye and -9 in the other. Are (either of) you worse than that?
I have astigmatism too, and contacts don't correct that. But since I've gotten used to that, whenever I see through the correct prescription for glasses that fix that problem, I get a massive headache. My current glasses are an old pair that aren't correct in either eye. I should probably fix that before my eyes get worse, eh? Eh.

Date: 2005-09-05 07:17 am (UTC)Now I'm waiting on the pretty laser surgery. It was supposed to be this summer, but I had to have my wisdom teeth out, and we can only really afford one medical procedure insurance doesn't cover per year.

Date: 2005-09-05 04:25 pm (UTC)That's not true. It used to be true, but soft contacts have improved lots in the past 10 years or so, which is good, because my eyes have gotten worse in that time.
And I refuse to get laser surgery, because, um, PEOPLE ARE OPERATING ON YOUR EYES. Yeah, no.

Date: 2005-09-05 05:31 pm (UTC)Preach it, Jasmine! My doctor wouldn't even consider letting me have surgery, in any case. No one here has weirder eyes than I do, I'll bet.

Date: 2005-09-05 09:34 am (UTC)RE: 1 - Still haven't decided what I'd want a tattoo of, although the Gemini sign seems attractive at the moment. Maybe by the time I decide, I'll actually have enough money to do something about it, heh.
As for marrage, ehhhh, who knows. Maybe you could get some, like, patch or something to cover up the tattoo? I dunno if that exists, but it's too practical to go uninvented for long. And, y'know, just don't marry a jerk because he asked and you're desperate. That doesn't end well. *pokes the Telly-parents*
And more women should be like Angelina Jolie. Yes.
Re: 3 - I need to see if Red Cross is open tommorow.
