I figured that out, but decided that it was funnier to leave it in.
Still there.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.They also leave really weird indents in your nose and just aren't comfortable. It's really hard to move around quickly with glasses on, too, 'cause they fall off so easily.
And my friends kept stealing them which was annoying.
Actually I was the one stealing my friends' glasses but I assume it was annoying.
I tried contacts once. I do not wish to relive the experience. I might consider laser eye surgery, but I heard contrasting comments about quality of vision after it and I'm pretty much used to glasses anyway by now.
But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.I think this might be a case of having badly fitted glasses. I've never had any trouble with mine falling off. Fogging up, being covered with smears that you can't get rid of, and developing mysterious scratches that you can't see through * yes, but not falling off.
I would try contact lenses, but apparently my eyeball is such a weird shape they wouldn't fit properly.
Be not afraid...Glasses have always been pretty comfortable for me. Once in a rare while I'll get a headache if I'm doing a lot of intensive focusing on small print for hours on end, and taking my glasses off will help lessen the headache... but glasses are perfectly comfortable.
And as far as glasses on girls go; it varies, but by and large, women who have them tend to suit them.
Girls have also told me that my glasses suit me... so now I'm curious; is there actually an interest among the girls here, in guys in glasses? I mean, most things have a flipside... I don't see why this wouldn't.
As to facial hair; it does not suit me, at all. I get Perma-Stubble; more than that doesn't really work for me. But if my dad's any indication, I won't start greying until my late 50s anyway, so I've got more than thirty years before grey beard/dark hair is even an option.
I wear glasses sometimes and contacts sometimes. If I'm doing something that requires safety glasses or something, then I wear contacts, because the safety glasses that are meant to be worn over glasses never fit right.
And if I'm doing anything other than sitting around doing nothing, I'll wear contacts, but that's just because my glasses keep coming apart because the last time I got new lenses in them, they did something to the frame and the screw that holds one of the lenses in keeps working it's way loose.

Obligatory self promotion: http://unemployedacademic.tumblr.com/I'm afraid I'm too young for grey hair and too blond for brown hair, but I get the sentiment. I myself proudly sport as much of a ringbeard as can be reasonably mustered (the mo and beard don't join, but oh well).

What's the deal? That look used to be so common back in the 70s, now people think they have to dye everything to "look young". What is wrong with trying to look older and distinguished?
You know what else you don't see enough of anymore? Women wearing glasses. I think girls look cute in glasses, so this whole craze with contact lenses is kind of irksome.
Not to mention mustaches. What happened to the 'stache?
