Keep that kind of pressure going and you're going to wait longer. Me being a procrastinator won't help matters, either, mind you.

Me and my friend Craig arent talking, I yelled at him him he was drunnk, not really a huge deal but I'm never snappish with people I'm usually too nice/chicken. He was really cheeky with me and I just told him what I thought of him. (I wasnt overly nasty though, just that seeing him drunk disgusted me and that hhe had better sober up) HE and Jen were steaming and it pretty much ruined Kevs birthday.

I'm just hate by seeing people drunk, I don't understand how someone could drink something that is bad for them in so many ways, also my older brother ranted that me and him get less attention than my two other brothers because they have special needs. Also he attempted to stab my oldest brother (who has spinabifida) with a fork.

My mum took it kinda hard, also my mum drinks a lot at night and it hets her really emotional and she gets upset. S when that happened it got worse and she felt really guily and a bad mother and drank even more.

I'm really just waiting for him to phone me. Or at least attempt to talk to me, even through someone else. For once i dont think I'm the one that should apologise. I'm just starting to think that I should have kept my mouth shut.

I don't know if that counts as a "serious life problem", but I can't ****ing put a contact lens on my left eye. Either I just can't keep my eye open wide and long enough or that little plastic crap doesn't want to stick itself to my precious ocular organ. I've literally spent several hours trying to put it in my eye and nothing. That sucks and makes me feel pretty embarrassed. Maybe contacts are not meant for me, after all.

I need a support group

Just wear glasses and complete the nerd personality. That's what I do!

Actually, my eyes changed so much, they basically "reject" contacts. They just burn so bad in my eyes. I can't stand it. I'm stuck with glasses forever.

**Barkworm** · 10-04-2007, 01:57 PM

Rob, why don't you just wear your goggles?

SassyGal · 10-04-2007, 02:09 PM

How are you putting it in? I have been wearing contacts for 15 years & found that how the optometrist tells you to put it in pretty much sucks & hardly ever works. I suggest using the hand you feel more comfortable so if you are right handed use that one and look up instead of down. if this is what you're doing already, just ignore me

I can't wear glasses anymore. One of my eyes is almost perfect and the other one is terribly near-sighted. I'd just get incredibly dizzy with glasses, since the difference between my eyes is too huge.

But you know - there must be something wrong with those lenses. So many of my friends have switched back to glasses after wearing lenses for the time being. Petty inflammations and all that jazz. You don't wash your hands properly for once and then you have major problems for days.

This is indeed something worth consideration!

I really could just screw the whole damn lens, since I can function pretty well without it (my brain has nicely adapted to the whole weird-ass situation) but I don't want to tire my right eye too much, as it is the one virtually doing the whole observational thing for me at the moment.

More or less I'm trying to do so, but I find the recommended position terribly uncomfortable - my elbow hurts like hell. So I'm introducing some modifications, yet it is my eye that causes the most problems.

SUXX0RZ.

Swany · 10-04-2007, 02:38 PM

I'd just say to go with glasses as well, the idea of contacts grosses me out. Also I like growing my nails quite long.

I dunno how it is for eveone else but I think contacts are pretty vain anyway. My glasses (or maybe its my ears) sit crooked and I don't mind.

Dude, this is totally normal. When I first got contacts I was freaked out about putting sh*t in my eyes ('You're putting something on your eyes!', as my eyedoctor would say) but after a few days practise I managed to get over it. You just gotta get used to it.

Unless your case has nothing to do with freaking out, in which case you should ignore this post.

*Katie* · 10-04-2007, 05:57 PM

I personally can't wear contacts. They irritated the HELL out of my eyes. but I have a coworker who just got her first pair and she had trouble withthem at first....I'd say for about a week or so. But now, they don't seem to bother her at all.

Good luck

Good luck

For me, it was just a matter of finding the right pair of contacts for my eyes. Because I have very oddly shaped corneas, most soft contacts wouldn't fit properly or feel comfortable in my eyes. Afterwards they tried pawning off a pair of $400 gas permeable "rigid" contacts on me -- ****in' things were absolutely dreadful...And they still didn't fit right.

Thankfully I got my current brand a little while later and they work (and fit) like a charm.

Anyone have any advice for convincing an over-protective parent with the logic of a drunk 4-year-old to allow me to go to a concert?

What type of concert are we talking about here?

Zog the Equalizer · 10-04-2007, 09:44 PM

Between the Buried and Me and HORSE the Band. The problem isn't the bands playing, My mom knows what i listen to. She doesn't want 5 17-18 year-olds driving the two hours it takes to get home afterward.

Are they disposables so you like wear them for a week or two & them throw them out or is it the kind you buy and wear for a year? I find "permanent" lenses irritate the hell out of my eyes but the disposables are the shiznit. They also have ones that you wear for a day and throw them out, which is wasteful, but super comfy

I hope it works out for ya!

Peanut · 10-05-2007, 03:33 PM

So yeah...I totally just discovered that I've been living in a pissed off and angry mood for so long because of other people. I based how I acted towards every situation on how I was being treated everyday. I think I finally discovered that I don't care anymore! Those people can treat me however they want, I won't be living my life in a depressed hazed because how sh*tty I'm treated.

Instead of being happy about having so many supportive friends and a great family, I was just dwelling on stupid sh*t. Even with the ups that would make me happy, I would ALWAYS find away to bring myself back down. I'm totally done with that, no one is going to stop me from being myself and being happy anymore.

PEANUT IS F*CKING BACK!

*Mecha Cow* · 10-05-2007, 05:25 PM

Good for you, buddy. What made you see the light?

*Katie* · 10-05-2007, 10:12 PM

ya know,

The key to being happy in life really is saying "I really could care less what you think of me.....If you don't like me the way I am, then move along. It's your loss anyway"

'Least that's what I've found...for what it's worth

Looks like you found that too
