1. What's your favorite song these days?  I really like Jennifer Knapp (The Way I Am) Sing Mary Sing.  I know very old, but I can listen to it about a 100 times and still want to hear it again

get thee to a nunnery optometrist! =]

[arlie]

haha. I need to. I don't know why I haven't, we have great insurance. Its just been a lack of motivation. I'll call today and see about getting in tomorrow.

Oh, Jennifer Knapp!!! I have all of her CDs--well, at least up till 2001. ;-)

[arlie]

You truly are one of us.

[ioulios]

Alright! So... who are we? ;-)

The Crabtree's, silly!

going to have my eyes checked was the smartest thing I ever did

until then, I just thought all of my highschool teachers had bad chalkboard-handwriting

it was dizzying, the amount of detail I was missing.

so yeah, go to the eye doctor.

Thanks.

The reason I think I've been delaying it is... my dad at the age of I think 27 had some rare eye disease and is now legally blind in his left eye and without glasses nearly blind in his right. His optic nerve or something like that ruptured. Anyways, I always worry that it will happen to me. So that should make me want to go to the eye doc even more, but it hasn't. It has done just the opposite.

my cousin has something similar, where his optic nerve is stretched very tight, and any sudden jolt (like getting hit in the head) could snap it

but here's the encouraging part... as far as I understand, without glasses/correction, you are putting more strain on the nerve... but if you get glasses, it makes a little less strain.... i think.

The coolest thing they do at optometrist's offices now is take a picture of your eyeball, and if you're lucky they'll show it to you and point out where you look healthy and where you might look a little off. If that bit of technological awesomeness doesn't get you to go to the eye doctor then I give up.

Glasses are awesome.
