stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I have to play a brief set this eve and I'm absolutely dreading it. I'm kinda sick of just playing little house shows. it makes me feel small.

#narcissism

ps i know I should just relax, be grateful for having a chance to play for people and try to enjoy myself. but i suck at that. instead I'm just a ball of nerves feeling totally anxious and like everything is pointless.

Midsemester has got me stressed out. I feel like theres never any time to calm down...always some assignment or book to read. My gf is long-distance, shes visiting in a week but other than that and classes Im pretty much a hermit.

I can only hope that as I get further acclimated to the pace of reading and writing that I am far more efficient in time management.

Im almost positive that I am going to die of a stress-induced heart attack.

You're like... an American me.

Or I'm a Canadian you. Whichever.

still have cold/flu. fuck this, i just want to go out and enjoy myself you know

my girlfriend made an offhand comment that has made me realize how absolutely ludicrous most depeche mode lyrics are :(

You should have reminded her that words are very unnecessary.

T-shirt neck holes get bigger over time.

Idiot at work has some if those geek glasses with nonprescription lenses. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST YOU'RE 33 YEARS OLD!!!

I have nothing to complain about and therefore nothing to post in here.

My room is too small for all my art materials

i do not understand the problem with this. glasses are a fashion accessory just like anything else. that's why they come in like a billion different colors, shapes, materials etc -- bc people who wear them care about how they look. anything goes in the realm of dress imo.

that's not to discount the fact that lots of people who wear non-prescription glasses are fucking twats. but I have no problem with this on principle.

my fwp is that I really need a new prescription for stronger lenses but have no money/insurance to go to the doctor.

not sure if this is available where you are but i got my glazzies for like 12 bucks from zenni optical. they look decent, and they've lasted over a year now with no problems.

Oh cool, thanks for the tip!

The winter has made me crave noise and metal music, but that random Fact magazine article threw me into the Aphex Twin discography vortex and I am stuck there for another couple weeks at least. Tons of noisy net releases are accumulating on my hard drive in the meantime, all unheard.

I like to have a lazy wank sometimes while in chatmm, get off on the human interaction while tacitly pleasuring myself. But I'm just not feeling it at the moment, and having problems getting it up.

Why wear glasses if you are able to see properly?

Maybe I should get a fashionable wheelchair and fake that disability too lol. Since when is pretending to be blind a fashion statement?

Edit: I don't mean you, as you have a prescription. I'm just wondering at what point people decided it was alright to wear glasses as an accessory? They were created to help blind people see, not to make you look good. So I'm wondering too when they will decide that gold crutches are ballin' ...?

If I was present and you're still having problems, there is little hope for you

as someone with pretty poor eyesight, i'd have to say comparing it to being in a wheelchair or on crutches is a bit of a stretch. some people look great with glasses. some of those people don't actually have a need for glasses. who cares?

I hate wearing glasses, which is why I've worn contact lenses for the past 25 years or so. I just look shit in them.

Glasses-related FWP: Trying to save for lasik surgery.

Non-glasses-related FWP: writing mock policy briefs is boring as hell.

I too am saving for lasik. I've got a screening appointment next week. I've worn glasses since I was 9 or something, been wearing contacts for the last few years. I'd just like to wake up in the morning and be able to see clearly without needing either, I don't like the dependency.

-8.5 in both eyes btw. ludicrous. and I never really did anything to worsen it, it just kept getting worse and worse on its own as I grew up. I did read a lot and play a lot of video games up close, but those things didn't contribute to the problem as much as I was led to believe.

Exactly. People who don't need glasses/contacts don't realize what a pain in the ass they are.

Side note: woke up one morning after a night of heavy drinking with perfect vision in my left eye. thought I had been miraculously cured but alas I had merely forgotten to take out my contact lens in that eye before passing out.

:)FML

It just seems weird (to me) for someone to accessorize with something that is designed to address a disability, the whole notion seems a little strange.
