Be Happy...

siiiiiiigh.

I've got new glasses...which should be a good thing, and it kinda is, they're very cute, but the reasoning behind them...ie, that my vision has deteriorated enough to need them...has me *depressed*. I shouldn't bitch...it's been years since I got checked, and according to the optometrist, I'm still a relatively modest prescription, AND I got away with far less vision damage than most law students. :P Still. *grrrrs*.

Last weekend I rode my first hundred miles on a bike!!!! It was *hard*, but very fun. Not a flat hundred, either, over the mountains...the Geysers in N. Sonoma county. It was gorgeous, all of these steep, sweeping gorges, fast creeks, wildflowers in bloom. Like riding through the wilderness, and on top of the mountain it's like you can see the universe. And the speedy decents...woof. After awhile, your body feels very different, like you're detatched from it. Very distant and remote. I didn't even feel physically tired until the end. It was a profound enough experience that I'm wanting to do an essay on it, and I will maybe if I can get my other projects sort of done.

Speaking of which, I'm facing a bit of an ethical dilemma...I've written a story that I'd like to post to a place where I often post them, (Fem-X for those of you who also frequent there, this isn't a Gargoyles one) but it's a really extreme bit and I don't want to scare people. Eek, decisions! It's a pretty good one, but...intense. And a little creepy. With warnings it would be OK for the site, but it would change people's opinions of me, I think.

wuff.

Gonna go draw some more while I can still see. :P

Since I've worn glasses since I was about 8 years old, i can't even remember what it was like to first get them. My eye doctor keeps trying to get me to do that lasik surgury, but I'm too parinoid.

re. the extreme story-- just post under a psudonym.

Not the eyes!!!

OMG, I am more than a little bit phobic about anyone getting near my eyes. I can barely sit still to let the eye doctor check 'em. I'd *love* to get lasered so as not to have to deal with glasses, but there's no way I could *stand* it.

As to the story, I have a pseudonym I blame the more scary stuff I write upon, but unfortunately I already released the first part of this little travesty...under my usual name. Before realizing that I was going to take it any farther. Ah well.
