As in, I love them too much. A good pair of sunglasses can really do a lot for me, not gunna lie.
Just don't say no. (<---- my thoughts when I see any that I like)
Because of this I have acquired many and it's a little out of control, really. I mean, I think I have a problem. I've known this and joked about it for a while now. But seriously. I never get rid of them after I stop wearing them (or even after they break), and some of them are just awful.
I haven't told many people about my problem but it's time to come clean, I think. Like, really public. (Or at least as public as this gets, right here, this blog that I think maybe I only read... because I'm not really going to update my facebook status or anything. About sunglasses? Come on.)
I'm self indulgent, but I'm not that bad.
Anyway... back to the self indulgent thing...
I got really bored late Monday night. You see, I do not work on Tuesdays so I usually have some extra stay-up-late time on Mondays. The problem is, I'm usually very tired on Monday and not really looking to go out and use up the energy I don't have. I like to go home, cook myself some yums (healthy yums), and hang out with my roommates (read: parents who don't make me pay rent - yay! love you) in my jammies until it's late enough to go to bed and feel ok about not wasting a night where I don't have to at least try and feel guilty about staying up too late.
Fun fact: I used to go hang out at my friend's house - The Dome - but the new year brought on some complications with that plan and it's fizzled out and now I'm a real homebody on Mondays. (And by "complications" I mean I got lazy and other people who used to hang out started being giant flakes.)
Confession: The Bachelor is also hugely responsible for how this Monday at Home routine came to be. I had a commitment to watch it & feel better about myself because I wasn't as crazy as anyone who was on the show. But now it's not on anymore, so my Monday's are technically free, so now I'm just a loser that's started refusing to hang out with her friends.
Instead I do things like make the Kitten take pictures of me in all of my sunglasses.
Yes, that's what I spent my latenight time doing Monday night. Travel with me, if you will, back to this time. It's 12:20am. Exile on Main St (my fav Rolling Stones album, duh) is on shuffle in the background (mainly to remind me of what I should have been doing, what most sane people would have chosen to do, which was reading Keith Richard's book LIFE because it's good and I want to read it and - oh yeah - reading is a normal way to pass time). I find some lip gloss in an old purse and put it on. I find that I like it, even though it's bright pink and I'm not sure I can work it. I decide, after about 23 seconds of staring at myself in dim lighting, that I can pull it off, so I put more on and sing into the mirror. While doing this I find that I still like how my hair looks and think about how things like that will be good when I find a boy who will someday want to marry&live with me (and we are still young enough to want to be pretty for each other at 12:20am). Then the Kitten knocks something over on a shelf and I find my stash of sunglasses and marvel at how unecessarily (and beautifully) large it is. I start putting them on while I sing, grow bored with just looking in the mirror at myself singing, and brilliantly decide to turn it into a photo shoot since I 1) have nothing else to do and 2) I feel sort of good about taking pictures of myself now cause I'm all "healthier" and, hey, it's sort of fun and totally hard not to feel good when you are me, and tired, and totally loving Mick Jagger singing about the Good Lord shining a light on you.
So... Midnight (+20) Photo Shoot it is!
Again, the Kitten took all of these. She is oft' forced to hang out with me during these late night bore-sesh's and do stuff she wouldn't normally do, like use an iPhone to take pictures.

Four Former Everydays... I'm cheating in the pic cause they are broken on the other side. But you cannot see it.  Whoa, these are actually 3-D glasses The Kitten is wearing rainbows!  Six Ah yes, Tilly's glasses. Redversion. Stupid Tilly's and their buy one get one 1/2 off...  Tilly's galsses - Greenversion Pissed a little bit, cause these are still rad but the green is peeling off of them. Leperglasses.  Tilly's glasses - Zebraversion? I don't even know what was wrong with me. Sorry.  Big white glasses, say what? Can't rock these, but can't throw them away either.  Hannaglasses I stole these from my friend Hannah in IN! When I visited 2 yrs ago. They are broken now as well. Second cheat!  Big green glasses that used to be Everydays. I forgot I had these, what a surprise for me! (See how surprised I am?)  Tilly's glasses uh-gain?! Zebrapurpleversion?? So sad with myself right now...  Hot Carl's Aviators! (Hot Carl = male-bro alter ego) (You want to hang out with him) (He's a good time)  Not sure where these even came from... Dad aviators? Could be useful in future for costume parties.  Close up because these have gold flecks in them See them? See them!  Old. Gross. Pink. I can't even enjoy wearing them.  Seventeen Also old. Not sure where they came from. That's how bad my problem is.  Eighteen More zebra print?? I don't even remember liking zebra print that much. Couldn't even put these on, but Kitten insisted on a pic.  Giant Golds I got them as a gift from Nat for my Bday last year. The remind me of my grandma. |
Next time maybe I'll post pictures of my awesome new scarves. It's a thing I'm starting.
Finalthought: I'm so in love with the sea.
