So you know how some people really like the process of figuring things out? Like if they buy something that requires assembly, they'll just start putting it together. I am not one of those people. I am the exact opposite. I always, always read the directions, instructions, whatever happens to be reading material on or with whatever it is I'm using. I like to make sure I know what I'm doing before I do it. It might seem kind of anal but that's just the way I am, I like structure.

So, yesterday I had just gotten to Anna's and my contacts were dry but I forgot my eye drops at home. Considering Anna, her boyfriend and their housemate all wear glasses, I assumed one of them would have eye drops so I asked her. She said she didn't so I said even contact solution or whatever would work. She said she knew her boyfriend had some of that, so we go rummaging through some drawers and found a bottle of solution, perfect! Anna suggests that I read it and make sure it's okay to put in my eyes, but me, being this person who so religiously reads directions and such, decided against it. Why? I have no fucking clue. This was possibly the first time I've ever done something without checking it out first. And oh yes, I paid the price. Immediately upon contact with my eyeball, it starts burning really bad and I'm thinking "uh oh". I read the bottle and see in big bold letters, "DO NOT PUT IN EYES". Nice.

Moral of the story? Be true to your nature or else.
