I mean - I highly doubt that. What’s wrong with them - are they - are they just big?

They’re big and weird looking and fall off my nose sometimes but I’m going to have to deal until I have some money to buy new contacts.

[tfwophelia]

Well, I think it’d be worth it to see.

I know, I know, hopefully I can find my contact but if now, well I’m going to look like a twenty-one year old grandma. 

[tfwophelia]

Do you have your glasses?

I do, but they’re not exactly flattering. 

[tfwophelia]

I’d say yes if I didn’t have twenty-twenty vision.

I have never envied a person so much as I do now. 

[tfwophelia]

I have a lot of them.

You want my glasses to complete your sweaters, ‘pops?

[tfwophelia]

I think so. I think people find them charming.

Funny how they’re anything but. Just like those itchy old people sweaters people wear.

[tfwophelia]

Grandma glasses are in style nowadays.

Are they really? God, if only they were in style when I was in basically my whole K through middle school days. 

[tfwophelia]

Sounds like it’s time to replace them.

I wish, they’re too expensive, I’ll just need to use my grandma glasses for a while. 

[tfwophelia]

I lost one contact and now I’m half blind, well fuck.

[tfwophelia]

I wouldn’t even be able to have grades here if it wasn’t for you, so, for the millionth time, thank you very much,

Please, you make me sound like a miracle worker so for the millionth you’re welcome. How’ve you been, Ezra?

[tfwophelia]

I haven’t asked for one. Are ya’ proud?

You, I’m very proud of you, I checked to see if you were still enrolled and tada you are, very nice grades.

[tfwophelia]

And an honest living it is. My mother was right about you.

Hey, you can’t say I didn’t put food on the table though. You’re mother is very perceptive. 

[tfwophelia]

Oh. So you do it… illegally? Isn’t that scary? I mean, I would be too afraid to get caught if I could even do it.

Well that’s one way of putting it. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t scary once but now? Not really. You only get caught if you’re careless.

[tfwophelia]

You can do grade changes?

I can do a lot more than just that.

[tfwophelia]

Are you a TA? I’m sorry if people have been badgering you about them, it’s not as if you’re in control of them. I don’t know how they expect you to change them.

Nah, I’m not. Um, but I am in control of them? I mean -- it’s not that hard, just a couple clicks here and there and wireless internet. 

[tfwophelia]

Apparently they’ve been slacking bad enough to be stressing out. They should just get to work.

Ain’t that the truth. They should, but they wont which is bad for them but good for me, gotta make a living somehow.
