Make up your own question, I'm too cold.

holy shit, I'll have all my bills other than rent paid this friday which means I'll have loads of money to spend between now and christmas
ohmegoshohmegosh
QUESTION: should I buy glasses before or after christmas?

If you need them to see, before Christmas.
If not, or they are the kind that hold wine, then do it anyway if they're cute. Because you know if you see something you want and don't buy it, it haunts you till you do.

they're eyeglasses but I don't need them to see, because my left eye does most of the work
I should start wearing my patch so my eye doesn't go all wonky, anyway, they will help with my laaaaaaaayzee eye
I'm just wondering if I'll get a better deal after christmas since small businesses need money all year round, etc

anyway, how's you?

Very cold! For some reason the heating in my flat is shit.
I am very content, having spent yesterday shopping like a loon in France and am now a little tiny bit broke.

Then again Christmas is upon us so they may have some kind of "give the gift of sight" sale thing on. I have to be coerced practically at gunpoint into wearing my glasses, I hate them! Contacts FTW.

get lots of awesome birthday stuff??
contacts are too much work for me, and I like stylish glasses, plus I have this thing about eyes, the thought of touching it let alone putting something in it?! yuck !

I'm squeamish about anything to do with eyes that isn't my own.
Have freaked out many people with how willingly I will poke little bits of plastic into my eyes...

I did :D new pair of shoes, Underworld trilogy on blu-ray, pretty star fairy lights that are now on top of my TV, a black satin skirt, thin black top that I have since discovered is too transparent for work, and a thick bronze hoody. A successful haul!

I'm being bullied into buying new clothes so next week after rent is paid I'll be shopping
*sigh* I just don't like a lot of the stuff out now, I'm sooo picky :(

Me neither - I need, ideally, a new smart thing for the interview on Tues
since I wear my suit trousers to work all the time now To Be Taken Seriously (used to go in in whatever was decent and clean). I think a new, fabulous suit may be in order...

I'm finding this is the case with the new roommates, I work in a garage so I like to wear comfy clothes that can get dirty
and I may dress up once or twice every few weeks
apparently this isn't good enough for them, they haven't said so but I'm feeling the need to toss some stuff.
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 20:27, Reply)

Bah, you shouldn't let them make you feel bad.
My clothes rarely match (matching underwear is an achievement these days) - if it's clean I wear it together for work, till I was told I was being seriously considered for this promotion...
( Maladicta, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 20:33, Reply)

I never have matching bra and underwear.
I can pull it off with some things but don't do it often.
Cripes I just realised how long it's been since wearing fancy pants.
I've become some sort of comfort only soccer mom. *cries*

It's okay... you have La Senza out there, amirite?
I'm usually pretty good about getting mine to match but I've moved bedrooms again lately and am still trying to marry all my socks etc back up...
( Maladicta, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 21:03, Reply)

apparently, I've never heard of them tho
I've just done the same, I've got a drawer full of frilly knickers, garters and stockings tho that never get used so I don't really need to buy more.

gawd matching socks is such a pain

My mother made me wear white cotton non-wired EVERYTHING till I was 16 or so.
Wearing balcony bras and frilly things is my way of rebelling now I'm old enough to buy my own underwear, and I now feel weird if I wear anything less... good if you do happen to get some sexehtiem though!
( Maladicta, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 21:09, Reply)

SO TRUE
my parents were like fucking mormons, wouldn't let me shave my legs until I was...golly...way old, sad times

Thanks Mal, I think I shall start a frilly knicker revolution and wear them more often

^ This! Glad to be of service :)
I may wear suspenders to my interview... no reason, just to give me the confidence to metaphysically shake them by the throat and say GIVE ME THIS JOB NOW.

My mother wouldn't let me shave my legs till I was 13 and still goes on at me now for plucking my eyebrows now I'm 24.

Before, of course
Be stylish for NYE, assuming you were getting stylish glasses, which you totally should. I'm ordering some from www.glassesdirect.co.uk, hopefully in time for the party season.

What's the point in getting new glasses in January? January is dismal.

As far as I can tell I won't be doing anything on new years eve, so it would be pointless
besides, I can get glasses after christmas and before nye

ha my dad wears
these, has for fucking YEARS, like since the 70s
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 20:25, Reply)

I've had the same glasses since I was 15.
I don't care since I never wear them...
( Maladicta, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 20:52, Reply)

Wow, you're actually making me tempted to wear glasses
for the first time since I was 15.

How are you good sir?
( Maladicta, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 20:08, Reply)

not too bad
got red wine, a full "buzz box" and radio 6 is playing almost-lost Brazilian genius Rodriguez - I'm just in from the cold, just thawing out and things look OK suddenly.

Also go some ad-hoc work tomorrow - translating French legal documents for my dealer. I'm asking no questions and judging no-one.. something to do, anyway.

Sounds fun... am not up on my French legal jargon I'm afraid
but I do have a French degree so let us know if you need any help...

I'm ripping some new CDs that a friend burned for me and realising exactly how eclectic my musical taste is. And yes, it is fucking freezing today! I think I may have to concede that yes, it is finally too cold for my silk corset coat.

Glasses are awesome
if you find ones that you like. They make you see properly and can look cool.

I like acetates. The pair I'm currently wearing cost £20 including delivery off t'internet and they're fucking cool.

I'm slowly warming back to the idea
and there are some red ones that are pretty tempting for the days I can't be arsed to stick plastic in my eyes. Thing is I'm so used to contacts now that I'm no longer accustomed to the weight on my nose...

In other news
my DVD drive has now suddenly decided I have half a second to put a disc in before it closes again.
