New Glasses...Kinda

Man, I keep putting posts off...well here's my promise, tomorrow I'll post about Shadow of Memories, which I completed last Friday, though not completely. I have another 4 playthroughs left before I really complete it, but it'll have to wait because I'm playing Kingdom Hearts II right now. Man, I love the game, there's a lot to do and a lot of worlds to visit...but I have two issues.

1)Cloud is not so aloof. I don't remember him being so aloof and petty, blaming Sephiroth for this and that. Well okay, he did have problems with ol' Sephy, that's true. It is really all Sephiroth's fault, but Cloud blames himself too and wants to make up for his past weakness. It's weird, because I agree and disagree with his portrayal. At points, I think and feel that Square-Enix is portraying him the way the fans expect him, or rather believe him, to be portrayed. Also, I don't remember Cloud trying to keep his thoughts hidden from his comrades...he always offered his thoughts, but never wanted to appear weak.

2) Yuna and Rikku made their first appearance in Final Fantasy X, not X-2. If it's to do with their costume changes, then how come the other FF characters kept their original appearances? I swear, they were pretty stupid there, whoever wrote the character bios.

Anyways, yes. I have new-ish glasses. My other pair broke on Thursday morning, while I was cleaning them and so I had to wear my old pair to Uni. Thing is though, my old pair's like 4 or so years old, the pair between them also broke. They hurt my eyes and head, since they made me partially blind. When I came home, I popped in some contacts, good thing I've got like a lot of pairs of them handy. Friday, I went with my mum and we dropped the broken frames off at the Optician's, ordering the lenses to be placed in a new pair of the current frames, so they're new frames, but not. We were told they'd be ready by Monday.

Coming home, I popped in contacts again and wore them for most of the day, until they started bugging me and put on my old glasses again. Sure enough they began to cause me pain again, and my mum asked me to try on her glasses. They made me blind, I then tried my youngest brother's glasses, they too made me blind. I then tried on my younger brother's glasses and I was blessed with sight! Utilising this revelation, my mum asked him to get his other pair and I tried them on, oh sweet Heaven...they were wonderful! I could see everything in clear, sharp detail. I almost wept with joy.

We received a call today, informing us that my glasses were ready. Boy was that quick, and so I went and collected them and am now wearing them as I type. I'm keeping my brother's glasses as my spare pair, well we're sharing it.

The same thing happened to me a while back. I broke my frames but when I went to the optician's they just found a pair of frames the same sort of shape as my broken ones and popped in the lenses. I saved a bunch of money. I didn't have to get new glasses and I got a doscount on my frames ^_^
