blind.. like a bat. guh. somedays just keep getting better.. first i wake up way too early to an email from ian.. expressing his hatred for me and my "selfish" ways. why are me and jamie the only ones who understand why i broke up with him? or that its ok? my mom and my sister and everyone are like.. how could you do that? hes so sweet.. BECAUSE I DONT LOVE HIM. is that so hard to understand? is it wrong for me to end a relationship because im not happy? because i want someone else? since when is that a crime? people break up every day.. youd think i was the pioneer of the concept or something. pfft. so after the email.. i regroup and head off to the funeral.. which in true funeral fashion is well. sad. although we did see the BEST mullet known to man there. the guy had the longest blonde mullett ever.. you know he was grooming and growing that bad boy since he was 14.. post funeral.. jamie and i realize we are way too styling to just go home.. so we go get lunch.. then it dawns on me.. that we're in the town where the registrar is.. so hey. ill be a good kid and renew my license.. since well.. it should have been done 6 or so months ago.. we get there and theres NO ONE there. not a soul. which in registry of motor vehicles land is a minor miracle.. so we stroll on in and fill out the form.. its almost too easy.. and then she says.. look into this box and read me the letters.. i sit.. i look.. i squint.. i try opening one eye then the other.. i say something like.. "im supposed to read the first line?" i look again.. oh yeah. im blind. do you have glasses? the lady says... well.. no.. not really. should i? sure. did i? yeah. back in say 7th grade i had them.. and by 8th grade they had convieniently met their demise in my backpack.. ive been back to the eyedoctor maybe three times since then.. each time meanign to get glasses.. and somehow.. convieniently each time something happens.. and it gets forgotten..and i press on. vision is overrated.. right? so we walk out with jamie snickering at me.. old license in hand.. and a trail of profanities. we thought we could be crafty and find someone elses glasses to wear.. but its just not that easy.. so here i am. no new license. but i can see the screen as i type.. i swear. before the registy incident we came to my house to to get my wallet..and i single handedly managed to get the key stuck in the lock.. jamie used her superhuman strength to pull it out.. but to add insult to injury we got the key.. but broke the lock. we ran and hoped no one would notice.. i wish the registy lady would have not noticed that i couldnt see.. but hey. at least i have the form to show my moms that i actually finally went there.. its not my fault im blind.. im her daughter after all. ;p |
