imagine a unifying theme here.

i) ❝i've always wanted to tell you❞

ii) Chapter One teaser!

America blinks, remembers the way Will and that officer clasped hands. "Wait a second, did you just bribe a cop"A cop, you say?" Shakespeare asks. America can't see him frown, not really, not in the guttering light from the lantern, but he hears the halt in his voice

Also, contacts are way more hassle than they're worth.
I beg to disagree. I started wearing glasses when I was 3 and until I started wearing contacts at 15. It was hell. I love my contacts so much ♥

[etrangere]

can't bear touching/putting stuff on your eyes?

[a_white_rain]

I really want eye surgery. I don't need perfect vision and I don't mind wearing glasses - I just hate waking up and not being able to see anything. And no way am I ever wearing contacts. Scares me for some reason to touch my eyes.

[puella_nerdii]

Yeah, I don't blame you -- things involving eyes make me go EEEGAH! a lot of the time. And yet I'm a CLAMP fan. O the contradictions of my life.

[a_white_rain]

No, see, the difference is, it's not my eyes that are being torn out (oh Subaru). It's not even all that graphic either.

[puella_nerdii]

Good point.

I still have to cover my eyes when any eye-related injuries occur in a more realistic medium, though. Oh god The Andalusian Dog whyyyyyyyyy.

[wizzard890]

I've totally noticed the glasses thing, too! Well, and then there are we undercover glasses people, who rock the contacts.

Heh. I guess you could call fandom quite a spectacle.

And yessss, Will! I think I am already beside myself at the prospect of seeing him be a regular character in Worldsmith. XD

[puella_nerdii]

-- that was awful, dear. Well-done.

(I remember that Mith and Linden and adesso and moonsheen and I did a giant glasses-swap recently, and nobody could wear mine without getting headaches.)

Hell, he's a main character in Worldsmith! I swear the biggest obstacle to writing him is that I have to stop and spazz every five minutes because I'm like OH MY GOD I'M WRITING WILL SHAKESPEARE OH MY GOD AND HE'S SO COOOOOOOOOOOOL.

[wizzard890]

(Man, if your eyes are two different prescriptions, your glasses must be like the headache brigade for anyone but you.)

And I cannot say with certainty that I will not be TOTALLY CRUSHING on Shakespeare throughout. Just as a warning.

[puella_nerdii]

(Yeah. I LOVE MY WEIRD BIONIC VISION. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A ROBOT. A ROBOT WITH REALLY BAD HEADACHES.)

Warning taken! He's so ridiculously crushable, though. Oh Will.

[rene]

Nope! I am quite possibly the only geek I know who does not require ocular correction of any kind. I'm also the only person in my entire family--literally--who does not wear glasses.

And now I've just jinxed myself, haven't I.

Funnily enough, I was also the only person in my high school Honors Physics class who didn't need glasses. I had to laugh when I noticed.

[puella_nerdii]

Most likely. (I made similar boasts myself! Then I discovered that my AWFUL HEADACHES were due to my wonky vision. Whoops.)

Yeah, the geeks-with-glasses thing is such a stereotype, but it's also kind of true. I gotta wonder.

[rene]

Haha, well... I can't really talk. There was a point a few years ago where I went nearsighted for a while, but for whatever reason, that seemed...to pass? I dunno. I just remember that I couldn't speed for months, since every car coming up on me in the horizon looked like a squad car thanks to the lovely blurry halo that graced every distant object in my line of vision. I'm really not sure what happened with that, since I can see far-away things just fine now...

[puella_nerdii]

Hey, at least it cleared up on its own! I still have the blurry-halos problem in my left eye, but my right eye compensates for it -- I can get away with driving without glasses on, but I'm, er, technically not allowed to. *cough*

[mullenkamp]

As noted at cons, do generally wear glasses or contacts, but didn't bother getting contacts for cons until I had vision insurance because really? I can see passably well without them, and sometimes forget when I'm not wearing them as long as I'm not trying to look at something more than 20 yards away.

[puella_nerdii]

Makes sense -- I've seen you in glasses, of course, and I wondered if you wore contacts when you cosplayed.

[mullenkamp]

Well, as an example... Friday and Saturday at Katsu? Contacts. Sunday? Kept my glasses in Japan's pocket in case I needed them - because Saturday was the first time I'd ever gotten both contacts in on the first try, and I didn't feel like spending half an hour at it only to take them out again in the car a few hours later. ;)

Oh man, that reminds me, I never uploaded the mechanical bull video. :D

[puella_nerdii]

Yeah, that makes sense. I know Mith and Linden almost always have contacts in when they're not wearing glasses, but I forget which of Mith's glasses actually have her prescription and which are just lenses.

You really should upload that. The Internet needs to see Japan riding a mechanical bull.
