LOL comic


Haha so good. There are quite a lot of these, my sis found them. So random but funny. Speaking of which- if anyone wants more amusing entertainment, go to www.homestarrunner.com and look up the teen girl squad cartoons.

I had a brief period of worrying today, i let an extra hour slip by without taking my panadeine forte, and my jaw felt like it was going to fall off! Kinda like the feeling when you get braces tightened, but a lot worse. Anyway, i'm clearly not doing too badly because i had pizza and pasta for dinner!
And i've had lots of visitors. Chloe came yesterday and we hung out for a while, which was really cool. And Mike and Bec came over today and brought me chocolate mouse (sic), which was very nice. Oh, the mouse bit was an in joke, i really can spell. Jemimah and Emily also came over, but they weren't actually looking for me, but i'll just pretend they were! So, lots of visitors for me :D

Ooooh and the rehearsals for Handel's Messiah start on monday, how exciting! I'm looking forward to it, even though i probably won't be able to sing excellently given the state of my mouth.

Time for me to head off to bed (or to continue trying to fix these woeful colours!). Goodnight!

**Renovations**

There are going to be some pretty major changes going on in the next day or so, so i'm sorry if the colours are unbearable or ugly or random. I hope at the end they will all come into place and look nice and pretty :)
If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to email or comment, and i'll consider them... Or laugh at you.
:p

Jelly and ice cream (don't read if you're squeamish)

So, thismorning i got to wake up super early to go to manly.
I had been planning to do it all holidays with uni people, we wanted to go nice and early and hang out and surf etc. Funny how things turn out....
I was actually going this time to manly waters hospital, a bit less fun than the beach, to get my wisdom teeth out. It was a really nice place, no hospital smell whatsoever (so claire wouldn't faint :p), and they looked after me pretty well.
Oh yes, claire came along for the ride, so i wasn't completely by myself. Although i knew that God was looking after me, so i wasn't really alone.

Anyway, the anaesthetist was really good, he did a nice job of getting the needle in without too much pain, and the anaesthetic was definitely a blessing. My surgeon also did a pretty good job i think, i'm feeling pretty happy about everything; although i'm glad i wasn't awake, i'm sure there was some hardcore drilling and chiselling going on. They were pretty deep, so usually what they do is dig down into the bone with a drill or whatever, and then smash the teeth into little pieces with a hammer and chisel or something similar, and pull the bits out one by one. Niiiiice.

Now that everyone has stopped being sick... Food is kinda bad, i'm really hanging out for an oporto burger, or a good steak, or even just the cashews on the kitchen bench. But not happening, not for quite a while yet. I really don't want to have to deal with reopened holes or broken stitches. There's only so much blood a person can swallow (though, according to fight club you can swallow a pint of your own blood before you get sick!). I didn't have too much today thankfully, they had gauze in my mouth until i stopped the majority of my bleeding.

Ok i'll leave it there, i'm way tired and i want to get to sleep before ibuprofen, codeine, and paracetemol stop working! Although i still actually ahve a numb patch from the local anaesthetic thismorning: the bottom right hand corner of my face. From my cheekbone down, and from my chin to 3/4 of the way to my ear, i can't feel anything. It's like when you sleep on your arm, and your hand is cold and feelingless the next morning. Kinda like a piece of meat, thats attached but not really part of you. Weeeeird feeling. So, that makes eating liquids quite a challenge.
The doctor said they once had a really princess-y girl in there, and she saw herself in the mirror after her hospital meal and actually burst into tears! Thankfully i wasn't that numb, at least not all over my face, so i managed to eat my jelly and ice cream without spilling much. It took me quite a while though. And i have drooled occasionally, coz i can't feel most of my bottom lip- especially bad because my saliva is always dark red with blood. Mmmmm. Ok bye for now!
I will update if something interesting happens. A friend of a friend had leftover bits of bone coming out the sockets, that they missed in the operation!

WIBCI #4

Wouldn't it be coool if someone made a computer chair that was really really comfy.
Not like everyday, average, padded kinda comfy. Comfy like those couches that you sit in and you sink, and it becomes decidedly difficult to get up because firstly you've sunk so far in and secondly it's so comfy that you wouldn't even get up for food. Well, maybe pizza. Gourmet pizza.
Anyway, couches. I think some form of gel design would work, like a beanbag but with a viscous gel, and some form of frame to make it the right height. Actually why does it have to be high? It could be at knee level, kinda reclined, and the computer just hovers in front of/above you.
Like, a dentist's chair at half tilt, but made out of nice gel stuff that you sink into, and with a computer desk of some description that kinda swivels in front of you once you've sat down.
Ok I clearly spend too much time at my computer!
I'm going to go to bed now. My eyes hurt. Perhaps i'll post a real post before i go..

Wouldn't it be cool if #3

Wouldn't it be cool if holidays were whenever we wanted.
I guess they might lose their novelty a bit. But seriously, if i was at uni one more week i would have exploded! *Boom!* No more dave.

I can't wait until the summer holidays, there will be beaches and friends and a distinct lack of assignments. This isn't really a holiday, other than in the sense that i don't go to uni for a few days.

Anyway, enough on holidays! I hope you are all enjoying (or are going to enjoy) yours.. :)

And now for something completely uncalled for!



Hahaha. That was awesome, i soo didn't see it coming. I guess that guy didn't either.
I know, I haven't posted for aaaages. I've had a lot on lately with uni, it's been pretty hectic! I am playing bass in a musical, called Shake It. It's being put on by queenwood old girls, and its very awesome!
So that is currently absorbing my tuesday nights. Mondays will soon be gone too, because Messiah rehearsals begin. I'm singing in a production of Handel's Messiah, which we sing around christmas time. Very fancy, we all wear dinner suits etc.
Other than that, life is pretty much continuing as normal. My new subject at uni, software 1001, is fun but quite challenging. Chemistry is increasingly difficult and complicated, and i am just hoping to pass this semester then i'll see where i'm at. Psychology is fun as usual.. The odd essay due in, of which there are more this semester, but yeah it's all pretty cruisy other than that!

Oh, and i'm getting my wisdom teeth out either this week or next, depending if a vacancy happens this week. So i'm not really looking forward to that.
Holidays are very good, i can have time to just muck around, clean my room, play some more piano, perhaps even write some more songs. I haven't felt very inspired or motivated to do that for quite a while, but i want to try. I suppose we'll see!

I had uni people over for dinner today, which was very nice. Nobody's fallen ill with food poisoning yet that i'm aware of, so i think i'm in the clear :p
Bec brought her famous chocolate mousse, and we all played lots of mario kart and tetris, both of which were enjoyed by all!

My bed is calling me, and if i want any chance of making it to training tomorrow i should go now! I'll try and post more in the holidays, seeing as i might have time. Especially if i'm moping at home having had my teeth out...
