There is nothing worse than owning pants that fit perfect except for being a little too short.

I don't care at all if people have/like the stuff I have. Let's just hope it doesn't catch on too strongly with the UO crowd, though.

It seems to me that one either has to be Asian or black to get away with wearing rather outrageous fashions.

However, nerdy white guys can also wear outrageous things and somehow get away with it.

I'm going to go the high road this time and cover all the expenses myself.


What exactly drives up the costs of lenses? My lenses cost about $130, but that's only because I wanted them thinner than normal (the normal thickness were $60, and there were even thinner ones for $200).

Beats me. I have horrific vision (I got my first pair of glasses when I was 7), so maybe that's it. I just remember hearing how much the frames were, thinking, "Oh, that's not so bad," and then seeing the total bill and being all

I have the same problem, my vision is really bad and in order to have lenses that aren't very thick it costs a lot of money. Would also like a new pair of glasses but since I mostly use contact lenses I have a hard time justifying the purchase becuase of that.

it all depends on your Rx. with me, if i want 100% crystal clear vision, i need to shell out $500+ on some special lens that corrects everything orrrrrr i can spend $150-$175 and get something that i can live with everyday. the difference between the two doesn't warrant the $400 premium, so that's why i don't pay for it. also whatever you do, don't get that **** ass anti reflective coating. i'm a dumbass and let the girl convince me to get it and it's horrible. it's harder to clean with and i have had trouble in certain light seeing clear. i didn't get it before and wish i didn't this time around.
