I had an eye test yesterday, for quite some time now I cant make out the number on the bus, kitty can vouch for this, seriously I would be convinced that it would be the number 86 and it would turn out to be 142 for example, the last eye exam I had was something like 1996, ages ago, the optician reacted when I said that, other than he had the same facial expression through out kinda like keanu reeves acting, no expression what so ever lol.

I had to pay 18 pounds for my eye test, the end result is that my left eye is weaker than my right eye and that I will need glasses for reading from a distance etc.. If I continue to wear the glasses then my eye sight will improve eventually, he gave me a prescription and I am expected to get me a pair of glasses yesssssssssssssssssss

what you gotta understand is that since childhood I have had three wishes (saving the world, becoming a artist, world peace etc,, are not part of these wishes, they where always on a different wish list). To put it quite simply as a child I wanted:

  1. glasses (soon to have inshallah)
  2. braces
  3. freckles

yep that's correct, braces, I just think they are so cool, I had a friend who had braces and she had these little elastic bands that she would attach to her braces, and she had colored braces wow, I used to get paper clips and open them up and shape them around my teeth so that it looked like I had braces, I cut the inside of my mouth really badly doing that so never try that experiment out it really hurts!!!

now it costs a bomb to have braces fitted cause I'm over 18, which sucks, its like over 500 pounds to have metal fitted to your teeth and probably even more to have it in different colors.

the whole freckles thing is so cool, I think they are so cute and sweet and I used to wish I had them, I once got my mums kohl and dotted my whole face, when I looked in the mirror I scared my self, it looked like I had hundreds of black heads instead of freckles, my mum told me off for wasting her eye liner, I tried it with her lipstick ended up looking like I had a severe allergic reaction to something, there was a stage in my life where I thought if I sat under the sun for ages I would develop freckles, I just ended up getting heat stroke, no freckles and no tan cause I never tan, not one bit, it took me years to realise that.

now I need to go glasses shopping, hmmmmm should I get dame Edna style?

HA HA HA!!!! Ur blind as a bat!!! Ur gona get badly dissed from me now. Ur glasses are gona be so big and thick that they're gona be sponsored by AutoGlass!!!

Braces...I remember when I had them.....I first had them in School, but took em off cos I coudn't be bothered. Come college, my teeth weren't straight at all. To this day I remember the advice of one girl; she says, 'Zeb, you wanna smile on your wedding photograph.' That's when I figured...and I braved the braces through the rest of college and much of my undergraduate years. The result, Alhamdulillah, my winning smile!?!?!?

Freckles?!?!?!

Re glasses: I recommend you find a glasses shop that has a 2 for one deal and get a serious "normal" pair and a funky Edna style for feeling cool :-) Good luck!

oh i have a long story with braces !!!! i had it on for 3 years and i removed it to use the kind that u can take off when u eat ..u know coz my wise teeth grew after i had the perfect shape and after all that pain ..my mouth became the same old one !!! i feel bad especially for all the money ..and now i have to take them off ,operations !! i've done one and it hurts so bad ! so as u can see i'm running away from taking the rest off then i'll have to have the brace again !!
so since u dream about it what do u say about switch place ??

What is about Laser eye treatment !? If you want the braces to be fixed in your mouth, you need to come to the clinic ... do you need them coloured ? what colours

So to sum up, your ambition in life is to be a geek and a bully's bait?

Am i the only one finding this a little ironic. I sort of understand the glasses, but BRACES? braces are hideous. freckles are just spotty.

Thats just begging to be bullied in your school years whitey.
