Hey! I went BLIND last night!
It absolutely sucked.
Especially given that my mom went blind for absolutely NO reason at the age of like, 8... she's in medical books and stuff cause she's one of two people it happened to...
Anyrate, so I'm sitting there, eating dinner with Alan & JD, and I get a bright spot, like i'd been looking at a light too long. It was like, pinhole sized, so I figured I musta just seen a lightbulb or something...
But then the dot became like a diagonally curved line of moving rainbow, totally interfering with my vision, making me dizzy, stuff like that... so I went to my room, took out my contacts and put on my glasses...
Which is when I noticed that out of my left eye, I couldn't see the end of my glass frame. I had NO peripheral vision out of my left eye. I started to like, really panic... I tried calling my mother, no answer at the house or her cell phone... I sat on the couch, next to JD, and he was on my left and I couldn't see him at all, and it was beginning to schitz me... he was waving his hand and stuff, and I couldn't see it unless I looked directly at it...
All the sudden I got REALLY dizzy and BLAM! It was back, suddenly I could see everything again. I started to cry. I didn't realize how scared I was.
The whole fucking thing lasted, start to finish, about 25 minutes.
NOT fucking cool.
Anyrate, on to more entertaining topics, I don't think I'm going to Q's on Saturday anymore. Think I'm going to be heading over to mah man
eviljiggy's. Woo Ha.
Starving. GRRRR.
Going to Danny's football game tonight. WEE!!! Go Spotswood, GO!! *bounces about*
GOD I'm hungry, this NEVER happens in the morning. Going to scrounge. *mwahs*
