I actually recently got contacts for the first time since I was 15. It's a bit of a change, but so far I like them. Surprisingly, people don't seem terribly taken aback by my glassless face.
I went on a picnic today.
And the gates are open, now, MWAHAHAHA, also known as, I'm going to post more pictures because I enjoy posting them.
We started off Turkish, with Turkish dolmades and a cucumber-tomato salad with a lemon and mint dressing (we consider it Turkish because we'd always order that at the Turkish place next to where we used to live).
No pics of that, sorry.
Then we had homemade fava bean falafels with homemade hummus and not-homemade baba ghannouj. I personally put some more of the salad in my pita too (we had plenty left).
That's me eating it, and then having some ice tea (also homemade):
Then Ian channeled his inner Luddite again when he tried to take a picture of the two of us. For some reason he zoomed in, here is one of the results (non-cropped):
Then we had some (homemade) peach sorbet. Which was tasty (didn't really work hard on that one, just put a can of peaches through the blender then into the ice-cream maker):
Then I posed just because:
And here you go! I took more pictures but I didn't want it to be too picture heavy so I split them between here and the boobs thread.
I made a weird version of peach ice last summer. I just chopped up peaches, and mixed them with water and froze them onto popsicle sticks. It was pretty good, but sorbet sounds better.
Peach Popsicles sound good too!
I love sorbet, although I usually have either berry sorbet or citrus sorbet. Peach wasn't a first but it's not my usual.
But as I said we were a bit lazy and just used canned peaches (in pear juice, so I guess it's a peach-pear sorbet?) instead of making something from scratch.
There is a safety pin in my glasses because I keep walking on them. I ended up twisting the branch so much that there was no way it would hold on my head, so I decided to take pliers and ply it back into a better shape. But first I unscrewed it from the main part.
I ended up using heat to manage to bend it back, at which point the hole where the screw is supposed to go stopped being aligned, so there was no way I could screw it back.
So I put a safety pin in there.
No I call it my painless piercing. I'm going to start a new fashion!
Btw regarding sorbet, what we sometimes do is mixing peppermint sirup with water, putting it into the fridge, waiting (that's the hardest part), using a Zauberstab, puring the fine crushed result into some glasses, adding a spoon or a straw or some fresh peppermint if available (but then maybe you could also mix a Mojito instead :O), whatever you prefer, et voilà a refreshing tasty result.
Doesn't it hurt if you accidently manage to somehow jab your skin with it? It doesn't look very safe to me with that long jagged edge sticking out of your glasses.

Well it's a safety pin. There is no pointy bit. If it's good to use near baby private parts, I'm sure it's fine on my glasses. It's worked for the past year after all.
I'll get new glasses at some point. I'm just at that weird immigration point when I'm neither covered by France's universal health care nor Canada's. Once I get my residency I'll get new glasses and that will be problem solved.

Maybe you should buy glasses without lenses, then put one red and one blue into the slots, so you can have kick-awesome shades that let you see 3D movies without those horrid things you get at movie theatres.
I hate this thread. When I read the forums I make up what I think people look like and I come on here and it's just so disillusioning!
Is it because you associate the person with their avatar, as though their avatar is a substitute for their face. That is sort of how it happens for me, which means that you constantly changing avatars so frequently is like somebody having a face-lift ever 5 days .
Just so everyone knows. I know it too well. The moment any one here recognizes you from the real world your life begins to change. Everything you post and do here has twice the potential to create a result.

Because my current avatar is so much like a face lift. So you never know exactly WHAT I look like. And guess what? I bet you wont find a single image of me without hard snooping!

Hmm, that's interesting. So I guess the only way to fix this, is for all of us to get massive plastic surgery so we look exactly like our avatars. I could probably get away with just dying my hair blonde (thank god I picked a female avatar). It's going to be super tough for those that have skulls and monkeys as avatars though. Good luck to you all!

I have a some sort of Lagomorph/Racoon in my case. That sound awfully painful

You wore glasses?
I'm the palest one here! Here's my picture:

I guess it was attached to something in your picnic, and you put it there so you wouldn't lose it?
Anyway, here's me attacking our "lawn":
I ended up using heat to manage to bend it back, at which point the hole where the screw is supposed to go stopped being aligned, so there was no way I could screw it back.

Your face is really greasy.
You are not my friend anymore.

Edit: Wait.. maybe I'm not thinking of a pledge. What's it called when you get people to give you money for a good cause?
Edit 2: in before "fraud"
I'll get new glasses at some point. I'm just at that weird immigration point when I'm neither covered by France's universal health care nor Canada's. Once I get my residency I'll get new glasses and that will be problem solved.
Um, I think most people call it a Fund. Like when I was in college, I wanted people to donate to my Go to Europe Fund.
then I got some new glasses that looked identical to them.
Maybe you should buy glasses without lenses, then put one red and one blue into the slots, so you can have kick-awesome shades that let you see 3D movies without those horrid things you get at movie theatres.
(also, who's writing these tags? Yeesh, people, grow some spines and stop being asses anonymously.)
I could get a clip, like for sunglasses. I've seen those selling.
Haha, I had to check that I wasn't the one who added "avistew craves attention". I like it!
"smiling happy people"
Good start, taggers, but I expect rainbows and unicorn hugs!
Also, good idea on the clips. It'd be like seeing the whole world... in 3D! .... Wait...
Like this.
Those are not my glasses. Don't panic.
I've been thinking of posting my picture, but for the sake of not making people puke. I've been thinking otherwise.

Me in one of my happier moments.
It's like watching the movie adaptation of your favorite book, doesn't it?
Is it because you associate the person with their avatar, as though their avatar is a substitute for their face. That is sort of how it happens for me, which means that you constantly changing avatars so frequently is like somebody having a face-lift ever 5 days
Hahaha, I guess I have to agree. And it is where some of the characters you thought were female end up being male, and vice-versa.
heartless bastard
Ray Romano?
You look a little like my brother. So, I probably look a little similar to you.
Because my current avatar is so much like a face lift. So you never know exactly WHAT I look like. And guess what? I bet you wont find a single image of me without hard snooping!

I don't make up what they look like, but more what they sound like. Generally everyone sounds similar to me in my head...
I have a some sort of Lagomorph/Racoon in my case. That sound awfully painful
How do you think I feel, Mine is a really happy pig!
so you look like a blonde princess lol, and for the monkeys and the skulls, a little bit of make up wouldnt hurt lol
