"Is there anybody home, I was standin' on the step feelin' most alone"
Wow. Stuff actually happened today. Lol, I like how I say that with some shock in my voice. :P
I felt like crap today because I woke up tired (at noon, heh). I went for burritos with my mom. Waking up to go do errands with my mom makes it feel like I'm on some sort of sick day from high school again. It feels exactly like that. Empty house, daytime television, and light streaming through the window telling you that you've got nothing to do.
We both had appointments at the eye doctor today. Let me just say that I really love going to the eye doctor. I also love taking wacky tests, like those one has to do for psychological studies or whatever. The girl that ran all my initial tests was a college student too; and shy, but nice. We talked about classes and stuff, and it made me think about how I could work in an ophthalmologist's office. I did, after all, work at my dentist's office pulling charts and writing down things. This was something chill that seemed laid-back and interesting. Perhaps it was the love of those weird tests rubbing off on me.
Anyhow, the news of the day is that my prescription got worse. My left eye is apparently worsening, while my right eye is making up for the slack. I'm still only slightly nearsighted, though. The doctor said that she suggested I start wearing them while driving to "improve sharpness", though. Eep! For now, i only wear my glasses on the computer, watching TV, or at a concert/show. You know, for the most part, I think it's been the transitioning between sharp and blurry vision that's been detrimental to me. Part of me doesn't want to become a fully-fledged "glasses person" because I can see alright without glasses. But I also think it'd be best to wear them perpetually just so I wouldn't have to carry them around. There's also just that *bit* more clarity with glasses that I don't even necessarily realize normally. Ugh. It's a fight.
I arrived home to see that I had a voicemail. (because I'm a loser and never bring my cellphone out with me) My friend, Ian, had called to see if I was busy. We ended up going hiking along our local park district's paths that wind around hills, by a lake, and through trees everywhere. I've hiked around there plenty times before. He said his dad called it "California's best kept secret", all those trails. It really is amazing. We talked and hiked and had a generally good time. You know, in some ways, Ian reminds me of that boy I dated for like a month or so, Russell. Haha, the comparisons are almost uncanny. But don't count on me going out with this kid any time soon. It wouldn't work. At all. *shakes head no* I've yet to have met one that would, in fact. Wow, I like how that topic diverted fast... Hopefully we'll hit some of the other amazing trails around the area soon though. There are zillions. Plus, they're all nestled between the hills that sit everywhere.
People are fascinating.
Tomorrow, I've got to wake up early so as to go shopping with my mom. She promised a stop at H&M, though, so it'll be justified. I only hope I can get to sleep before 3 am though!

Ps- The Beat movement is still inspring me. I find myself observing stuff a little bit more. I'm trying to become more observant so as to be a better writer. Perhaps having bad vision isn't helping me with that, eh? :P
