"Hello, ___ Health Clinic :3 How can we help you?"
"Hi! I think I have a contact lense stuck in my eye. 8D Should I come see a doctor or go to an optomotrist?"
"Uh... please hold!"
"♥"
On the plus side, I did want to go get my eyes tested. :'D
WILL THEY DO THAT AT THE SAME TIME? xD if so, how convenient for you kjawe.
WELL. .... WHO KNOWS. XD; SAA, PERHAPS, ONE THING AT A TIME. Or well. Maybe they'll just shine lights down the sides of my eyeball. <- The internet says eye doctors deal with stuck contacts all the time, in about four minutes, but worryingly mentioned forceps.
MAYBE YOU CAN ASK FOR AN ACTUAL APPOINTMENT WHILE YOU'RE THERE. xD freak, forceps are just generic pinchy things, aren't they? IT'S NOT AS IF THEY COULD STICK ANYTHING ELSE BACK THERE. (toothpicks, looool. eyedumpling jkahae.)
SAA. :'D CALLING THEM WAS VERY QUICK AND PAINLESS except the guy was obviously doing the rote thing with the asking for details and asked for my name twice, and then was all "... wait. No, one of those should be your address :|;;;"
"Your first name?"
"Karen. :3"
"And your name?"
"... That... was it? :3;;;;"
"... Perhaps where you live, instead. :|;;;;;
Also, has found that putting in another contact helps....it found me my missing contact in my eye ^_^;;
;;;;; WAIT, REALLY? DOUBLE CONTACT?
ahhhahahahaa, i'll let the doctor at me with forceps. :'D Since, I tried the rolling and rolling and rolllinggggggg and a billion eyedrops and then when that was not enough, half a bottle of solution.
well, once i put it in and blinked...i was like..heyyy, there's something else in my eye..*rubs rubs*...*out pops the first contact folded over*
although...mind u, since then I've had like 3 dreams where i have contacts that got lost in my eye....and then i cough and find them in my mouth o_O! (totally not helping i know XD)
YOU HORRIFY ME.

... Doctor thinks I'm paranoid and it probably just dropped out;;

CONTACT FOUND AND NOT IN EYEBALL. INVOLVED USAGE OF A TORCH AND CRAWWWWLING AROUND THE BATHROOM FLOOR. DIGNITY, I HAS NONE BUT AT LEAST I HAVE MY CONTACT.
... Which means that phantom OH GOD THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY EYEBALLLLLLLL feeling really was just paranoia dsjshjhjsahdhshedywsyhhj
MY LIFE, GUYS. MYYYY LIFE.
In between that, I used like, half a bottle of solution and whoooole lot of eyedrops and felt a phantom contact in my eye ALL NIGHT LONG. And sat through an embarrassing visit to the optomotrist where I had to explain that, yes, my contact is very large and
pink and, yeah, you'd probably be able to see it in my eyeball if it were there but if it's not in my eyeball, then where could it beeee? jkjkjkawe
But, well, I am an idiot.
In unrelated news, this conversation actually happened with
bucket_shot's mum because I appear not to possess more than three brain cells.
"Your hair looks really different! :0 Did you do something new with it?"
":< My fringe is growing out and I am unkempt."
"Noooo, did you straighten it or something?"
"Well, I accidentally got toothpaste in it over here but..."
^ And then we were cut off by Jo's laughing fit;;;; (On the other hand, toothpaste. ;; Makes your hair smell minty fresh!)
We also watched Yukikaze which is full of crazy and more crazy and quite a bit of gay, despite the main pairing being Plane x Pilot, in that order. I... did not understand it all because there was a bit too much crazy. And also, the full title is BATTLE FAIRY YUKIKAZE and it is SET ON THE PLANET FAIRY where the FAIRY AIR FORCE fights against the EVIL ALIENS 'JAM'.
... It possibly destroyed my three remaining braincells and thus, I am left with none. :'D
And because knowing me, I am not going to update for a good long while, so, some photos and stories of cosplay related shenanigans.
We were invited, as part of the local cosplay community, to attend the opening night of RMIT Gallery's
Japan: Kingdom of Characters exhibition to provide uh, some sort of local flavour or something, god knows. Which means, two days of dressing up like idiots.
Wednesday:
bucket_shot and self as Lu Xun and genderbend!Ma Chao. We look like Christmas baubles and this amuses me like crazyhouse jkjkawe.
Done before with different make up and an unfixed up headpiece, Tiger General Ma Chao and PET TIGER
kaorismash. This
photo has been photoshopped to death unlike the others so, um. :'D I don't, actually, look like this.
Thursday, I pulled out the other genderbend!DW costume because it is, sadly, the most impressive one I have and WE GOT TO MEET PEOPLE FROM THE JAPANESE CONSULATE AND IT WAS ALL VERY MORTIFYING THOUGH THEY WERE VERY NICE. :'D MY SHAME, LET ME SHOW IT TO You.
Not actually that many cosplayers. Notice I am being a diva and am right in front and center BECAUSE I AM A FIRE TIGER AND APPARENTLY, MY ZODIAC IS ALL ABOUT THE BURNING AND THE PASSION AND THE DRAMA AHAHHASSKJKJAWE;;;
My eyes are very very red :'D And my boots are very very high heeled. Hilariously, some lady came up to me and asked if I had a card? I was very much "...?" because, what in the world for? if not, say, as an escort service. (I have never had as many people come up and talk to me as when I borrowed Kaori's
Sheryl costume which, Jo assures me, is because I looked like a hooker. :< Am in a Sumeragi sandwich of Kaori and Jo, there.)
It's a pretty
attention grabbing costume, though. :'D That sword is about only seven cm shorter than me when I'm barefoot.
Saa. What an idiotic hobby. I quit it forever.
