From the moment your eyes open and you know

[mooging]

OUCH.

I am appealing to you all here in a time of boredom and despair.

Um, attractively, I appear to have become allergic to my glasses (I know, I have all the luck). I currently have wonderfully pleasant oozing sores on my nose and behind my ears. To give them a chance to heal, I am going without my glasses for a day (we went to the opticians to get me some contact lenses so I could function, but because I am clearly the luckiest girl in the world, they were closed today).

And really, I am so, so blind without my glasses. All the medical professionals I've seeen have looked at whatever information they have about me and gone 'oh, you're short sighted', and then looked again and gone 'oh, you're really short-sighted'. YES I AM VERY BAD IN THE EYE DEPARTMENT THANKS FOR RUBBING THAT IN MY SIGHTLESS FACE.

And the Boots people won't give me anything to help the attractive reaction without a doctor's prescription, which I can't get until tomorrow. NEARGH.

So, I am spending the day mopping up my face WHILST NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE TWO FEET IN FRNOT OF MY FACE. How am I typing this, you ask? Very very close to the keyboard and painstakingly slowly.

Do you know how many things you can't do without sight? Read? Watch crap? Arse about on the computer? Nothing.

And the worst part is, it's Rome tonight and I CAN'T SEE.

Buyt hooray for misplacedmarble, who finishes her GCSEs today. It's lovely to be freeee, yes?

Apolgies for this post of woe, I jus needed to whine. Please do ignore me.

Oh my sweets *cuddles you LOTS*. I'm sorry that your glasses have betrayed you (the utter BASTARDS) and that you have painful icky sores and you cannot seeeeeee and that opticians are so titting mean.

I wish I could nip over and stop you from being bored. I would prat about and if needed, be your seeing-eye [dog] Nomles. ;P

What can I do to make ye feel better?

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Ohh, my little sweet Nomles with your pretty Laura icon and snuggly words of comfort.

It's annoying me that the only thing I can amuse myself with is listening to audio books, and I do kind of tune them out after a while.

*hits head repeatedly off the keyboard*

You make me feel better by your mere existence, my lovely one.

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

Sweetness = you. *squishes*

Is there any way I can amuse you?

Do you want me to send you shiny new music, or anything like that?

[Ah, audiobooks. I've got back into listening to those recently. Not just to listen to Harriet Walter's wonderful voice, and her talent for accents and male character voices. No. Of course not. No. No...........Maybe.]

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Oooh, shiny new music sounds good to me. (Forgive the ridiculous sporadic nature of the commenting, I have to keep going away and not trying to use my eyes.) Your taste in music pretty much = my taste in music, and I still have all the music I stoled from you while you were here in a folder called 'Stolered from Nomi' and I still listen to it and think of youuuuu.

Did you want me to write something for you? I can do that, as soon as I have some sight again!

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

(No problem my poor suffering darlink) I shall put together a zip file of tunes for you. I'll try and pick songs you'll like, but if I slip up and you hate anything, I'm sowwy. Forgive me but could you give me a list of what I've already given you? A screencap of the file list or something. I don't want to waste file space sending duplicates when I could be sending shiny happy fun funky music. ;)

Only if you don't mind my sweets. I'll try and think of something only you could write me. :D By the way, I hope to write that Mab/Jadis pr0n this summer, and those drabbles I owe you.

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Darlingy, remind me how take a screencap of the file list? I know you told me once, but, you know, my brain appears to be leaking out through the bridge of my nose, and I have forgoted.

By the way, you are quite clearly an angel. Did you know that?

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

Press the 'Prt Screen' button up in the top right-hand corner of the keyboard and then go into Paint and paste the screenshot into it.

Awww, I guess I'm not bad. Tis the least I can do whilst I am unable to simply pop over. :)

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Here you go: clicky von music (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/Moogle62/stoleredfromnomiscreen.jpg?t=1182363932).

*cuddles youuu*

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

*cuddles you back*

You should get a link to the file of goodies some time tomorrow, and I reeeally hope you like them and they keep you at least a teeny bit amused. :)

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Oooh, darling, I have received the goodies...but...they're in some kind of .ace file thing, and my computer refuses to recognise it.

YOU SEE HOW THE WORLD CONSPIRES AGAINST US?

But, er, I love you for the thought and the effort and the fact that it was in two parts, because that shows love. *snuggles*

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

However, I will not be beaten by a bloody file extension so I'm compressing them into normal zip files as we speak and then I will upload them to YSI. You will get shiny new music!!!!

[misplacedmarble.livejournal.com]

HOORAY FOR ME INDEED! XD

But BOOOOOO to oozing sores. THIS IS THE WORST DAY TO GET THAT. You have to be able to see Roooooooome, and all the pretty, violent men!!!!

IT IS IMPERATIVE!

I hope they clear up soon!

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

HOORAY FOR YOU!

Do you knwo something? I am just putting my glasses on for Rome, allergic reaction or not. Shut up, my health is clearly a secondary concern to watching Rome.

SOON IT WILL BE AUGUST. Um, is your home available?

[bodhi-chenrezig.livejournal.com]

oh that sucks ...are your frames metal? I had a similar problem (or so it sounds) with my first pair of glasses becuase I'm really sensitive to certain kinds of metal. Could it be that? I used several layers of tape on the parts that were touching my skin - wasn't the cutest think in the world, but it worked.

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Hmm, tape. That sounds a lot like what I was trying to do before I resorted to being sightless for a day - covering the parts that touch my skin with little bandages.

However, my glasses are plastic.

But thank you for the thought!

Did yours clear up, or did you just live with the tape?

Oh that sounds awful! *hugs*
I can totally relate to that as I'm pretty badly short-sighted myself! What prescription are you...I'm -6.5. :(

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what prescription I am, I'm sure it's written down somewhere. Er, yes, marvel at my real-world knowledge.

I'm short-sighted enough that everyone looks through my glasses and recoils in horror, if that gives any indication!

Thanks for the hugs, they always help ;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_faeriequeen/]

Lol well I wear contacts so I haven't had the pleasure of anyone doing that to me. I really need to get some glasses though cos I'm fucked, basically, if for some reason I can't wear my contacts!
