I did something stupid last night. Epically stupid in fact.

Since I started back at college yesterday I figure that I needed to fix my student ID that night. The hole where the card was supposed to attach to a lanyard had broken some time during my year of academic suspension. So I broke out the super glue.

Did you know that super glue has instructions on what to do if you get it in your eye?
Yeah... somehow I managed to bump my student ID and flick still liquid super glue over my glasses and into my open eye!
No, my eye didn't seal shut. It felt like I had just bathed my eye in hell's own lighter fluid and then lit it!

If you ever get something like that in your eyes immediately flush them out with cold running tap water for 15 minutes! The doctor in the emergency room said doing that was the best thing I could have possibly done. It kept most of the glue from curing/solidifying in my eye.
I was given some ointment to dissolve the rest of the glue. (did you know petroleum based products are good for breaking up super glue? Neither did I!)
And by the time I got back home my eye was puffy, red, watering, and oily. I looked like I was giving everybody the Stink Eye.


The moral of the story? The people who created super glue are evil bastards.
