I get my glasses on Monday or Tuesday, depending on good ol' Royal Mail. They (the glasses, not Royal Mail) are a correction of 0.75 (i.e. not very much) and temporary for the following reasons.

The optician said that I was slightly long-sighted, in that I have to concentrate to see things far away clearly - I can do it, it just requires conscious effort. He says this is because my eyes are not big enough yet because I have not finished growing, and that wearing glasses now will mean I do not need glasses later. Something to do with muscle strain.

My eyes themselves are very healthy he said, I can see twice as well as Ms Average - then again I guess Ms Average goes blind with rage over her 2.5 kids arguing all the time My right eye was slightly 'worse' than my left, but the lenses are the same.

The frames are titanium so they are lightweight. They are not 'emo' (letterbox) glasses. Apparantly I look srsbiznes in them. They are also free because I am a) under 16 and b) in full time education, so I get them paid for by the NHS.



I don't like being called a slut, even if it's when you're drunk on New Year. I don't actually care if you were joking, either, because it wasn't very funny. Yes Zizzleclank is my boyfriend OOC, and yes, it hurts my feelings when you badmouth him in /g. Well done for figuring that out. If you don't care, you're not a member of the guild I joined, or even the guild which the guild I joined turned into but which I nontheless liked.

It also hurts my feelings when you don't say hello, or say goodbye, or say goodnight, or - even worse - I say goodnight to you all, wait for a response, then twenty seconds later somebody else says goodnight, and you ALL say goodnight to them.

The whole stupid ZIZvsATH argument's making me feel trapped, and uneasy, and defensive, and getting me into all sorts of nonsense over organising various things.

Zizzleclank, in himself, is not dangerous. The Athanatoi, in themselves, are not dangerous. It is the combination of the two. Zizzle, at least, has the emotional intelligence not to say anything bad past "I won't say anything because it will upset you". Whether of your own accord or because the lovely occifers told you off, I hope you'll get that too.


Mutually assured destruction is a wonderful, powerful, terrible, awesome thing. For most people, love comes first, and then the power to destroy the other - the key to their heart. I think, with Ziz and I, the keys came first, then the love.

Are the two inexplicably linked? Will you fall in love with the person who owns a copy of the key to yours? Is that why I have this dreadful tendency to ruin friendships that way - because I ask for the keys without being willing to give my own away and enter a relationship?


MC/BWL on Friday. Hope I get T1/2.

Exams on Monday through to Saturday. Wish me luck.
