An Entry Deep=Fried in Sarcasm, For Reasons Unknown

[bliumchik]

At some point, during preparation for the semi formal on Tuesday, I took off my glasses, for the purpose of putting on my contacts (which came in handy when leaning over the edge of the boat and avoiding paranoia about dropping the damn things over the side by accident). I haven't seen them since then. This is a Vicious Cycle^TM because I cannot actually see anything without them. Being something of an obstacle in terms of finding them. I am now wearing my old, old glasses, which are a few prescription points down but at least prevent me from walking into things and hitting my pole-dancing-bruise on them (it has, by the way, gone a nice aquamarine colour). Unfortunately, they also have old, old frames of the type worn by "Pretty/Ugly" heroines in Teen Movies^TM. For the Teen Movie^TM abecedarian I shall recap the role: she is always hiding behind her glasses and large piles of books until one day she walks into the Interchangeable Male Love Interest^TM (because god knows those glasses don't actually DO anything, they're just there for obscuring purposes), whereupon both glasses and books fall to the ground and Eyes Meet^TM. Later on, some cheerleaders give her a makeover and she makes a Grand Entrance^TM looking exactly like all the other Pretty Girls^TM except cutely shy.

Not that I'm knocking the genre per se, it can provide some mindless entertainment during, I don't know, camps and things. And the girl who nobody realises is pretty till they take off her glasses is also used a lot in anime, including Ouran Host Club, which is my latest SQUEE topic because it is On. So. Very. Much. CRACK. Self-parody is great. And you may have noticed my new RAGE icon, which is from the same. I haven't seen all the episodes yet because my download limit hath been exceeded and thus I can only download things after midnight. Which means I have to sleep with the computer running. Not that I got much sleep last night even though it was off, I had too much energy... but not enough to actually get up and use it for useful things.
