I wear “bottle bottom” glasses, always have (blame my Dad’s dodgy DNA)
Every time I go to the optician, they keep advising me to get “thinner lenses” (I actually tried it once, and I have to say there really is no point for me) … I go through the conversation something like “Do you worry that people stare at your glasses?” “No, I don’t think they get past the dress sense and the fact that I’m pale, skinny and tall.”
I’m fine with my glasses now, but when I was a kid, I wanted contacts but was told I couldn’t because I have “Rugby ball shaped eyes”. My body is weird!
My sister has the opposite problem. She has a hard time finding proper eyeglasses since her eyes are just that far off from each other in vision. She’s finally found a decent pair now but she was pretty much forced to wear contact lenses for a long time.
Astigmatism made it difficult to get working contacts for a long time. My mother used to have a set that was rigid and designed so that the lenses would stay ‘right side up’, but she said they were quite uncomfortable. I have always worn glasses so I’ve never been interested enough to find out if they overcame that problem.
Just wanted to point out the attention to detail on the clothing/purse strap area, and how
it’s pulling down on the clothing (perhaps not enough, bow chicka) but that’s a nice touch you don’t normally think about on your first click-through.
Sometimes when no-one can hear anything, I crawl into a room and whisper the word to myself.

Dweeb is a wonderful word. One used rather affectionately in my circles.
I met someone in a MMO whose name was Dweeby. I shall never forget that name.

It ain’t easy being dweeb.
I think I’ll stick with “geek,” thanks. Rhymes well with “freak.” What’s “dweeb” bring to the table? Not much, from what I can hear.
Eye transplants. Will hurt but it’s the answer.
I still call people Dweeb, my roommate is a huge Dweem and spaz, I’m just a geek.
As a glasses wearer, may Lynn’s eyes be eaten by a chipmunk.
