Alright, I got some contacts on Tuesday. It is now friday evening, and I still have not been able to remove them.
So, I've already saked a ton of people, but more useless advice is also fun. If I ever do get these things out for one night, then I'll give everyone at Azure except the people who didn't try to help a ![[PBJ Time!]](graemlins/pbjtime.gif) .

I don't think you can do much other than gouge your eyes out or commit seppuku.
Your choice.

I tried contacts but I could barely barely get them in or out, and getting them out did involve gouging my eye out, that's why I refuse to wear them to this day...

I hope your eye doctor told you that contacts block oxygen from getting into your eyes, which will eventually dry them out.
You could wear them once a month or something to a social gathering where you don't want to feel like a dork. Just don't think about wearing them every day.

Heh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I have the monthly contacts. Soft lenses, very permeable membrane = oxygen flow to eyes, rated to be worn a month at a time (i.e put them in July 2nd, take them out August 1st).
So my guess would be that my eyes aren't going to shrivel up and die.
Also I had the problem with getting them in in a timely fashion the last time I tried getting contacts, which rules out "wear only for social gathering." Especially since anywhere I go is a "social gathering."
[edit] Also I don't know what John's talking about with blue. Care to share, pal?

Didn't the eye doctors take you through the tutorial on how to take them out? I know I spent about 45 minutes learning the process. They even told me it would probably take that long before I recieved the contacts. Basically I use my thumb and index finger to squeeze the contact in my eye together. Then I pull out and it comes out on my index finger.

In the pictures MK put up of his vacation, he photoshopped (actually, it could have been MS Paint) himself out, so that everyone wouldn't see his face / body and be able to mock him with photoshopping and such. He did this by paiting blue pixels over himself.

I've had contacts for 3 years (have to to play any kind of sport). I have soft contacts which I wear everyday and take them out every night (each pair gets replaced monthly). To take them out you've gotta be fairly rough (for your eyes anyway)..at first this is tough because you're not used to poking your eyes, but they're not actually that sensitive. What I do is use my thumb and index finer to gently squueze the contact off you eye. It works, and isn't painful.

I always slide the contact down and out of position first and then pull it off with my index finger and thumb. If that fails, do what I used to when I first got contacts, rub your eyes profusely until the come out. This works for soft contacts, at least.

This is why I like glasses better. No muss, no fuss.
If you really want to ditch your myopia, get laser eye surgery.

Can't get laser - eyes haven't stopped growing. They want you to be 25+ to get that, or at the least an adult. Also $3,000 is a lot of money to me.

Laser Eye Surgery seems to risky. They cut part of your eye open for cryin out loud!
As said above, glasses are great, no fuss, and once you've had em for a few years you don't even think about it, they're just there...

Lasik (the brand of Laser Surgeons here) is practically risk-free, it's just that it costs a boatload. Also I don't mind glasses other than that they get in the way while making out, and they makes me looks better. I'm a popular image slave for the time being. At least in some instances. When they all whine about my snow-white hair being ugly, I'll flip them the bird, pop on my shades (which I don't own yet), and walk out. I'll probably come back with light blue streaks though.

Do you have white hair? I don't get it.
If so, how did it get white?

Not yet, but by the end of summer it'll be white from dyes.
and not that beach blond white, but white like Magneto's hair.

You're a bastard. Did you strategically plan how to do this correctly with the help of some sort of hair technician, or is your hair gonna be terribly damaged? I've got an awesome natural reddish-auburn type of thing going on but I'd gladly sacrifice it for Sephiroth hair. But not if it'll look all damaged.
Also, is it just dyes, or stripping agents and such, too? And what is your natural?
