i don't want to look smart! i just want to be HAWT!!! (gloria curls into a ball and cries)
can you tell i've been trying to reject my inner nerd lately?
i just got back from the eye doctor, and he tells me my eyes have gotten even WORSE...i'm done to -8.50 dioptres now. interesting fact: wikipedia tells me that myopic people are more likely to have higher IQ scores (by 6-7 points) than non-glasses-wearing folks.
i think i need to bring the sexy back in glasses. i should start a "More Porn Stars with Glasses" campaign.
