Hell yes I noticed. One of the reasons I really hate snowboarding.
Last time I went was when I was 13...went with the family. The guy directing people onto the lift was cool. He first asked the girls, do you have a boyfriend? They responded no, then he asked me. Do you have a girlfriend? I responded no. Then he was like, perfect, you three next.
We got talking and stuff I remember they were both from Orange County. Both really cute. I specifically remember them talking about how much they hated people that called it "The OC" and how it gets a bad rap from the stupid show.
Obviously didn't go anywhere from there, it couldn't. I was stuck with family.
But DM, why didn't you get any? You've got to work as a team with your friends. They can't take it all. Point one of the friends out, tell your friends, ask them for advice, and strike.
Awesome that you're getting rid of the glasses and getting contacts. From what I remember about your pictures, getting rid of the glasses is definitely a bonus.
