Why thank you, Michelle, I truly appreciate that. I really can’t explain why they bother me so much. I wore Coke-bottle welfare glasses from the time I was 4 years old until I was a sophomore in high school, at which time I bought contacts on my own. This pair I’m wearing is the first time I’ve been able to get nice, wire-frame, thin lens glasses. I think my mental image of myself in them is the problem.
So, do y’all feel like you’re in a therapy session with me?
Shawn, trust me, you don’t want to be in a therapy session with me about high school.
5′3″ 90lbs, bad hair (no one else in my family had curls like mine, so I was in my 30s before I learned how to manage my hair), braces, and I took Advanced Chemistry and Calculus as a junior because I *enjoyed* the subjects.
I think you should keep the glasses Shawn…they are very sexy, and look great on you.
(my hubby struggles with the same thing..he wants contacts, i suggest to him to keep the glasses…his face looks naked with them)
I third “keep the glasses.” They totally work for you, Shawn. Then again, I LOVE wire-rimmed/trendy glasses on a good looking man (i.e. my boyfriend), so I may be a bit biased.
Of course Shawn’s wife may now want him to go back to contacts, for fear of the hordes of UCF women will descend upon Michigan searching for the hotness that is Shawn in glasses.
Oh geez. A guy gets dugg, nominated for the Hot Blogger Calendar, and puts on a pair of glasses and all of a sudden he has groupies. Next thing we know, LJ is going to have to hire body guards to keep you from being ripped apart by hordes of screaming fans.
All I have to say is, where’s that damn gremlin when I need him? :p

I wish more people would wear glasses.

I despised high school.

I’m pretty sure the whining is contagious.

I second Michelle.
More glasses, pics! They totally scream,” I am a totally adorable, hot geeky male intelligent librarian”, which for us geek chicks is a total turn-on.
Moar!
