Chatterbox: Down to Earth

*deep breath*

*deep breath*

I'm telling  you guys something I haven't told anybody yet. My family and I have known since April 2nd. It's a good thing, don't worry! I've just been keeping it a secret so long....

I haven't even told my best friend.

Although I guess Maple might find out if she comes on.

It's not that big of a deal, but it is to me.

Everyone will figure out on Monday at school....

Okay.

I'll tell you.

*deep breath again.*

*pause for dramatic effect*

I'M GETTING GLASSES.

*screams*

I've never kept a secret that long! And yeah, I know, glasses don't really mean anything important. But they do to me! And I'm really really happy excited fantabulous at the moment! Because in two days I will officially look like what I am! A nerd! YAY!!!

What do you mean, you need glasses to be a nerd? Anything on the outside DOES NOT COUNT!!! If you weren't a nerd BEFORE you got glasses, then you are not a nerd now. You do NOT need glasses to be a nerd!!!

Mei. Listen. Just because you hate stereotypes doesn't mean that you have to force your beliefs onto other people.

It's not okay. It's mean. If Sav wants to think that, that's fine. You aren't her mom.

Did you even read what I wrote? I didn't even put the word "stereotype" in there!

Sorry if this seems rude (which, inevitably, it will, [Admins, please don't edit this post]), but....

Oh mah cat, will the both of you just be quiet? I'm sick of your fighting! Honestly, I think you just do it to irritate everyone on here. My cat, all you two do is argue! Why!! I mean, both of you are perfectly nice people, but why fight? Don't you have more... Intelligent things to do? Please stop! I mean, there are people out there who just irritate you and you're too intelligent to leave those snappy remarks behind, but I don't think that's the case here. It's like poking a stick at a bear. It gets mad and you fight. End of story. Forgive me for my rant. I just felt it was necessary. 

And Savvy - I have glasses too. It's nothing to worry about, just you need to clean the lenses occasionally.

Thanks for commenting Scylla, this is getting out of hand.

Mei and Cho, you two are both really awesome people, and I'm really sorry you can't get along better. But I really, really, really, really, want to stop these battles from forming a war. Cho likes her name, she has the right not to feel guilty about using it. That should be it.

Ohh nice. Wow, you scared me I thought it was some deep, dark secret! Make sure to get a pair that you really like!

I've always been a nerd, but when a lot of people look at me, they don't think I am because of stereotypes. I'm not saying I like stereotypes, but a lot of people use them, so when I get glasses, stereotypical people will finally look at me and be like "Oh, she must be a nerd!" Which is correct, but when I don't have glasses stereotypical people would look at me and be like "She looks like a girly girl!" Hope that clears it up!

"She looks like a girly girl"… I hate when people make assumptions like that. My friend has glasses and she's the girliest girl I know! And I've got small eyes. Big deal. I DON'T GET STRAIGHT As!!!!!!!!!! 

You can be whatever you want to be. You are ALREADY a nerd if you've identified as that before. Glasses can't make you that, because that's already who you are.

Like when people assume blond people must be dumb. "Oh, her hair is blond. She must be stupid!" Like, really?! Really?! REALLY?!?!?!

OOH! Welcome to the glasses club, Savvy!

You're gonna love 'em. You can actually SEE with them. It's MIRACULOUS.

Yay! Less... Blurryness! I have a really mild prescription though. They almost didn't give me glasses but I was like "I REALLY WANT GLASSES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!" Okay, I didn't say that, but I thought it, and I knew they almost didn't give me glasses. Also, Ellie got contacts! She got another pair of glasses as well, so she'll still wear glasses about half of the time.
