      Random announcement… i am blind! haha not really, but i did finally go get a prescription yesterday. I tried my friends glasses on in a bar the other day when we first got there and i could actually SEE things on the wall/tv all the way on the opposite side of the bar, lights werent just fuzzy blurs, etc etc i was shocked. So i went to a good eye DR yesterday and he confimed that i am nearsighted and theyre slight but i do need them. The worst is having to drive when i dont really know where i am and not being able to read signs, esp at night until the absolute last second. Sucks.

      So... now i have to go get this prescription filled and pick out a pair of eye glasses. And im super freaking picky. I'm planning on going to lenscrafters because you have 90 days to return/exchange and theyre running a 30% off lenses/frames sale this month and next. And on top of that i have a gift card that just so happens to work at Lenscrafters so i wont have to drop cash thank god.

      I know questions like this kinda suck because i know i just gotta try stuff on in person, but what do you guys think i should go for looks wise with my frames? I have a long and narrow face... sucks bad enough just trying to find sunglasses i look ok in 😕

      Im thinking maybe Ray-ban or Persol?

              Saw someone commented this on another forum:

              "Denim creases does depend to a certain extent on the fit, but there are other factors like denim weight. As long as it isn't baggy, you shouldnt need to worry about creases shifting. If you're into long term wear, you should go with APC, since they are of good construction, and have decent fading properties. The other japanese brands aren't really made to last that long, they are made to fade in shorter periods of time.

              Stiff jeans don't really fade more easily, it just creates sharper creases as well as sharper fades on said creases. Ease of fade depends on the dyeing method as well as your activities."

              Kind of made my day. LOL.

                      Reminds me of the guy in the IH thread on SuFu who said you shouldn't buy IHs cause they don't get 'awesome fades' quickly… To which I replied:

                      "It's a matter of being fan of the Stubborn Crew Culture or the FastFoodFade Cuisine..."

                      Mind you, I was pretty drunk...  😉

                          Best advice I can give you is this:
                          1. Think about your lifestyle and when/where/how you'll be wearing the glasses.  Get frames that match those needs.  Don't get frames that look cool, but are too delicate for your lifestyle (I made this mistake).

                          2. Take someone whose taste you trust with you to narrow down the options.  Try on several pairs and get their honest opinion on which ones look good from all angles.  Sometimes glasses that look good head on in the mirror look strange from the side (I made this mistake).

                          3. Spend some time wearing the frames; don't just put them on, see how they look, then take them off.  Take a few minutes and think about how they feel.  Do they slide down your nose? Do they press too tightly above the ears? Do your eyelashes rub against the lenses when you blink?  A great looking pair of frames is no good if you hate wearing them (I made this mistake).

                          4. Don't be afraid to spend money.  I get the thinnest, lightest lenses possible, with anti-reflective and smudge resistant coatings.  Sure it costs more, but having glasses that I like is totally worth it to me.  Being able to see well and look good is an investment you shouldn't cheap out on.

                          Having said all that, I like the Ray Ban RX5113s for you.

                              I wrote a little poem while I was on hold for what seemed like forever:

                              Otaku dreaming,
                              Platonic perfection eludes,
                              A slubby solace.
