I found out like 45 minutes ago that I was supposed to gargling with saltwater all frickin day.... Hey it's pill time one sec... I love this time... I just sit back and wait for it to all go away... I think today was much worse then yesterday... but it's starting to subside... so I have high hopes for tomorrow... I wanna do something fun.. everyone had stuff they were doing on friday so I just sat around until lacey's thing but I wanna do something tomorrow... David and Sarah came over for like an hour or so tonight... made me happy person... then they went off to fox's house to play ddr... I wanted to come along but there's no doubt in my mind that my parents would've said no... I've got some stuff to take care of tomorrow for the portfolio... mostly the pictures.... but I'me gonna have some fun tomorrow if it kills me... I'm gonna go now.... night posted by Joel | 10:50 PM Thursday, April 24 So I've now got four holes in my mouth... It hurts like heck to begin with then every once in a while I'll move my mouth in a way that will disturb the stitches... It hurts so much... I don't get vicadin to take.. I've got perscription strength ibuprofen.... It works.... Ahhhhhh.... I hate muscles twitches.... but I get jello... and pudding... and milkshakes... and yogurt... lifes not too bad right now... It's really creepy when it's happening... they told me I wouldn't remember much... they were wrong... I even remember them getting on the internet in the middle of it... I remember the exact feeling as they pulled my teeth... I remember the tearing sound... I remember how hard the guy had to push and pull to get them out... I remember that the bottom ones took a lot longer then the top ones.... I remember her saying during the second tooth that it had four roots... I remember the smoke rising up when he used the drill... It smelled like the sparker on a lighter... I remember he had to drill a lot more on the last tooth... the lady kept asking if I'd fallen asleep... how do you answer something like that while someone's pulling teeth out of your mouth or pushing black string through your gums... I couldn't feel my chin until about an hour and a half ago... The anesthetic for the areas that needed it wore off but not the toung or chin... I can't believe we payed so much fricking money so this guy could dig some suvineers out of my head... then I came home and slept... woke up occasionally but other then that... here comes the pain killer... yey... I can move my mouth a little now without excrusiating pain... I can even talk when this stuff is in... and fairly normal sounding.. though my mouth is as closed as possible... anyway I'm gonna go... considering the massive amount of time I'm gonna have in the next two days I'll prolly blog a few times... though It likely won't be for the squimish... at least I know my girlfriend won't be grossed out.... C'ya posted by Joel | 6:46 PM "Hey Joel guess what? We started skinning cats today... It was fun!" -Krystal Be afraid.... Be very afraid... So I'm getting my teeth pulled tomorrow... fun fun silly willy... I'm not very nervous yet but I can tell I will be... I never liked getting shots.... or any of that stuff... I just hope they're all done soon... Krystal doesn't even have wisdom teeth... lucky bum.... anyway It's like almost one and my appointment's at 8:30 so I should go... oh Lacey and Jenny... please don't hate Krystal for that.... and Good job today Lacey... I was much impressed..and sorry to JoJo for him not getting to here his girlfriend... I know he's gonna beat himself and his parents up about that one... I sympathize with Allen but still... that sucks... ok goodnight for real this time posted by Joel | 12:47 AM Sunday, April 20 I still haven't found any drive to do this... I'm just doing this purely because I mean to... anyway... I finished my senior project... Yayyyy... it went well... people showed up... they congratulated me on a great job... then they went home.... I feel as though all that work accomplished absolutely nothing... I didn't even try to do an invitation... I froze up there and just kept talking about Jimmy.... stupid Jimmy... I'm just really glad that's over... I may get back to my blogging now that I'll have a schedule again... I may not... time will tell... night posted by Joel | 11:16 PM Wednesday, April 9 He was crazy of course From the first she must have known it But still she went on with him And she never once had shown it And she took him off the street And she dried his tears of grieving She listened to his visions She believed in his believe-ins Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle And she was the moon shining back his light a little He was a shooting star She was softer and more slowly He could not make things possible But, she could make them holy He was dancing to some music No one else had ever heard He'd speak in unknown languages She would translate every word And then when the world was laughing At his castles in the sky She'd hold him in her body Till he once again could fly Well, she gave him a daughter And she gave him a son She was a mother, and a wife, And a lover when the day was done He was too far gone for giving love What he offered in its stead Was the knowledge she was the only thing That was not in his head He took off East one morning Towards the rising sun's red glow She knew he was going nowhere But of course she let him go And as she stood and watched him dwindle Much too empty to be sad He reappeared beside her saying, "You're all I've ever had" Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle And she was the moon shining back his light a little He was a shooting star She was softer and more slowly He could not make things possible But, she could make them holy Holy -Shooting Star, Harry Chapin yet again posted by Joel | 8:12 PM you know what I just realized... you can't email me unless you're on my safelist... if you emailed me already then do it again.... I have to fix this... ah... there we go... put the word Blogger in the subject or it won't get through... also... If you have read David's blog take a moment to record a mental note.... Slap David next time I see him.... I told him what was wrong with comments even after he refused my generous offer to do it for him..... Remember that mental note posted by Joel | 4:06 PM Tuesday, April 8 I have discovered the problem with Comments.... and I will fix yours for you ... for a small fee.... 3 easy payments of $9.99... just kidding anyone who wants me to fix their comments email your username and password to me at JAJ247@hotmail.com... also give me your account information if you are already signed up for them... I claim all uberness for this accomplishment... go me posted by Joel | 10:13 PM So I'm not even gonna try to apologise for not blogging for a week because if your anything like me reading everyone elses apologies has made you a little jaded.... anyway I've been feeling like crap for the past 2 days... don't really know why.. it is guessed that it's my antibiotic pills... I donno... oh well... David came over to work on physics today... we got a lot done... not as much as he had hoped but much more then I needed to do.. then we went out to eat.. riding in his new baby... that thing needs a name... it doesn't lend itself to the insults his cars usually take on so this will be more difficult then usual... anyway I had an absolutly horrific sandwich and a good milkshake so all was good... then david got a call from some chick asking for a Stan or something who ended up threatening him... rather creepy... anyway I'm gonna go.. night posted by Joel | 9:58 PM Tuesday, April 1 So my parents got pretty angry with me for not getting off the computer and doing my homework... Blah... my fault... I was just finishing the last chapter of this fanfic I was reading before I got started on my government work but I totally failed to let them know that... oh well.. I stopped and did the homework and all is well now...I'm fairly bored... think I'm just going to end up going to sleep but I don't particularly want to... it's a half an hour too early... not that it should stop me or anything... Krystal had a really bad day today... you'll read all about it no doubt... She has made repeated references to moving up here... I know the answer I'm supposed to give on instict is "that would be awesome, you should do it." but I find myself trying to think that option out a little more... I haven't been too sure if I'm ready for that... for starters we've never spent more then like 4 days in even the same city and she would be staying in the same arrangement we have when she comes up no doubt... at least until she has someplace to stay.. this prospect thrills me... but I'm also a little frightened... I don't know... I'm positive I would be very happy if it came to pass and would encourage her if she was sure it was the right thing to do right now.. but I wanna be sure I'm ready before I give that token answer everyone expects... I've got to explore this some more... night posted by Joel | 11:44 PM "I wish I was a 3 foot tall midget with six fingers and six toes" -Zack Albrecht... I hope that's how you spell that.... posted by Joel | 2:08 PM |
