inevitably, i will be told by the optometrist i need glasses. my appointment is tomorrow afternoon. the giveaway should have been my chronic squinting, and more recently a redness that appears when reading or looking at the computer, but i've held out hoping for the best. truth is, i'm actually kind of excited to be told i need reading glasses. i've always thought they looked cool, but never wanted to wear fakes. it would feel like wearing a hearing aide because it was novel (though i'm sure urban outfitters isn't far off from selling neon or glow in the dark prototypes). i even stole the perfect pair of frames from a thrift store just in case i ever needed to use them (i was in high school, they were $3...) i may use these, or i saw some on seeeywear that i love...
