Contamination by Infiltration
The N*Sync fan's worst nightmare: the discovery of a Backstreet Boys song in her iTunes library.
That brought me back to 8 years ago-high school, when the most important agenda was to win the debate over who was the better band: N*Sync or Backstreet Boys (BSB). Then there were others who faced every teenage girls' wrath when they claimed that neither were "real bands" - that's a whole other story, do not get me started.
Back to my iTunes. I remember my sister asked if she could download some songs to burn into a CD. "Sure," I said. That began the BSB contamination into my music library. OM Gosh! The horror! Imagine this die-hard N*Syncer's reaction when her shuffle mode turned up All I Have to Give from BSB. "WHAT THE @#$@! Where...? Is that...? NO WAY! Seriously! That's coming from MY computer!
What have I become? Am I a traitor to my fellow N*Syncers? Have I let time mellow out the feud that so consumed my teen years? No. I will not let all that time spent on covering my walls with N*Sync posters go to waste. I will not ignore all my efforts made toward constructing N*Sync scrapbooks. That stage in my life will not be pushed aside. To the memory of my N*Sync years, know that this painful example of vocal harmony and charlatan of a band, will be extinguished from my library.

Mono Vision
Today is the first day I have my mono-vision contact lenses on. Mono-vision is where one eye sees far and the other up close. I opted to try this because I despise having to pull out my reading glasses every time I read.
It's weird. It feels like I only have one contact lens on because I can see blurry spots; but, I can see up close now with out glasses. I was told it would take about 1-2 weeks for my brain to process and adjust to the new vision correction. Until then, I have to try to get used to the "one eye-contact" feeling.
*SIGH*
I am very excited about this though. I really hope it works out.
