Near-death experience

I almost got run over yesterday....

No, I'm not being overly dramatic, it's true.

I waited at the crossing... looked both ways, a car on my right stopped, I started crossing as when I reached the half-way point of he crossing, this 4WD came speeding around the corner and ploughed right through the crossing.

ME: I jumped, froze then waved my arms up in the air in such away to say 'WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!?! KILL SOMEONE!!'

Then I continued to cross, a wee bit shaken by the fact that if I was one more step across the cross, I would have become a speed bump squashed across the shopping carpark road.

Has anyone had a near-death experience?

I had another (almost) in the hsops when I saw my bank balance after a spot of shopping but THAT'S a completely different story.........:)

Glasses.....

My name is Bel and I. WEAR. GLASSES.

There, I have admitted it. I don't like it. But I do.

And I just had to spend $700 on new glasses and contacts. It's only my second pair of glasses. Part of me is excited about my new glasses because they are kinda cute. The other part is angry, annoyed, resentful that I HAVE to wear glasses.

I HATE wearing glasses.

It's so stupid but I really hate it. I feel so ugly when I wear them. When I put them on I feel like I become invisible, gain 10 kilograms and automatically acquir a hideous outfit. It's so stupid, but I do.

I don't know why... maybe it stems back to one day... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaars ago my dad said 'it would be shame if I had to wear glasses because it would hid eyour big eyes and eyelashes'.... but I just dislike it.

I should get over it. At least I can see. As a friend says 'Can you wipe your own arse? Can you feed yourself? Then get the f**k over it'.

Or as I say.... suck it up, Princess.

It's sucked up. I'll look sexy secretary in them. HOT.
