SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2003: DENTISTS & MY FAT ARSE
So I have decided that if I ever get my own domain name (the day that I don't cringe at my phone bill) it really should be "My Fat Ass", all because I talk about it too much. Unfortunatly it isn't sexy J.Lo fat at the moment, rather, fat. Not that I like J.Lo's arse anyway. At least she produced a really nice (albeit expensive) perfume.
So, as you can see by the title, I finally took my fat ass to the dentist. Yessum, I sat in that horribly uncomfortable chair, took big deep breaths, told the dentist I hated him and then dealt with the pain. Still am in fact. So much for not feeling anything. Whilst they removed the top wisdom tooth it was excruciating! The bottom wisdom tooth was not so bad. And in general, it didn't hurt as much as a broken wisdom tooth does.
I have at least 2 more teeth (not wisdom teeth this time) to be removed and a gazillion fillings. I ought to stop drinking soft drink, even diet stuff. I do take care of my teeth. I brush them and the more I brush, the worse they feel. They become all chalky and eeewy, and because I am a grinder, even in my waking state, it is irritating!
I hate teeth. I really do. Currently I am onto the last wad of gauze because they just don't seem to want to stop bleeding. The way I figure it this piece can stay in for a further 15-30 minutes and then if the midget is asleep, I may doze off or something. Maybe rest will ease the pain.
So long as they don't keep bleeding nor do I get a dry socket, because that is pain. Not that I can feel much at the moment because it seems to take a long time for the injections to wear off my and my lips and tounge are still numb. Let us hope that is just the injections and not a bruised nerve, or a damaged one.
I am really hungry so it better stop bleeding. Lucky I wasn't on the low carb diet because the cup of glucose that I had to drink would have ruined the diet, and I was right about needing sugar in your system. Arrrgh. I hate dentists, and I told them so again on the way out, despite him being a little hottie. Why is it that all dentists and doctors here seem to be asian?
Missy was great during it all. I gave her some paper and a crayon and she sat there quiet as a mouse for the entire time, despite my rantings and ravings. I really must be one of the worst patients when I go to the dentist. And they suggested that I come back in a few weeks. Grrrrf.
Cheers and merry be from my fat ass.

MOAN, GROAN, I WANT SHARP GUMS
So here goes more whinging. It is currently after 1500hr, 6 hours after my dental appointment ended. And my gum/hole/whatever only just stopped bleeding, if it actually has. At least most of the pain has stopped. In response to energy's question as to whether they gave me pain medication or not- NO! ARRRRRGH!
I can have paracetamol, but that really isn't all that effective on a dry socket.
Brrr, I am going to scare people off going to the dentist (it is amazing how many people come here looking for information on wisdom tooth extraction or dry sockets). The truth is that I am a bleeder, and a whinger. I shouldn't be bleeding this much, and if it starts again before 1700hr, it is time to head off to the hospital, but I think it is pretty much done.
My problem is that I went to the dentist to STOP THE PAIN, not cause more. But the truth is, I would rather deal with the pulling, pushing, twisting and breaking of my teeth and the subsequent pain for a few days in comparison to the amount of pain a set of bad teeth cause. I really should stop telling dentists that I hate them because then they're probably causing the pain on purpose! LMAO.
As for Patch's query as to wether there was someone taking care of me- NO! :o( The midgest hates me being sad and sits behind me brushing my hair, which is fine with me. I have never been good at asking for help.
I should have heeded the doctors opinion from last time in asking for antibiotics right away (if I were a smoker they would have given them to me) but I figured the dentist knows his job and knows of previous difficulties. We'll see. This may just be another excuse to avoid sociology tomorrow.
I think I am subconsciously failing that class on purpose. I mean, I think I have failed on attendance already (I have excuses for several but the woman annoyed me so much I am not going to tell her what they are!) and I have a literature reveiw due on Thursday. I don't even know where the archives are! And I failed to hand in my first five journals. Well, who cares. I am a stubbourn child when I have been offended. I might just go sulk in the corner, or take the midget out to go wee-hee. Cheers.

PHELPS VS. HOMOSEXUAL SCHOOL BOYS
I am by no means homophobic, in fact you could say that at times I swing both ways- just don't tell my mother. I just seem to think that you can fall for someone because of who they are, not their gender.
But I do have a problem with a school designed only for gay kids. Excuse me, it is education, not a pick up bar. Duh. Your sexual preference really shouldn't come into it.
That doesn't meant that I condone dickheads who carry around signs like this:

There has been some fool in Centre City doing something of the same nature. At first I was fine with he because there were some pretty boring run of the mill slogans like "Remember Hiroshima" and "A rougue state is nothing to hate". It was the day that I saw "Aussies Suck" and "America deserved 9/11" that this hooligan of chalk lost all credibility to me. What bothered me more than this was the fact that the company where the latter was written did not wash it away. There are still remanants of it there.
I don't agree with the US invasion of Iraq (and then they ask for help from the UN?Puh-lease!) and I do suspect that Bush is the worst president that they have ever had and will be renowned for his lack of forethought into the invasion. Then again, people do believe that he is right (...later). Despite all this, I do not think that thousands of innocent people deserved to be killed in such a horrific manner. I do however wish that they wouls stop forcing it down our throats. I know the date of the Bali bombing, does anyone else? Or was it just not as important? Mustn't have been because we didn't invade thecountry. Hell, half the country don't even want the guys executed.
I am no good at making my point. Cheers.

Oh, my point was this: I was watching Queer as Folk one night and they actually said something poignant:
God created and God doesn't make mistakes.
Isn't that something that you can throw back in the face of Phelps and co? It was said much better on the show.

I LOVE HER SOOOO MUCH
Sometimes whilst playing with the midget I get this sense of love which is so great I want to tell the world, but I am so busy loving her that I can't be bothered to write it. Like the way when she is tired and I am lying on the floor she will come and lie down on my back.Once she even fell asleep there. It seems to be the place she likes to be when she is upset or wants to be close. The other day I was upset so she lay on the floor and whilst patting her back said "sit on back". She wanted to make me feel better and it was so beautiful.
Sometimes it is really simple. I will be sitting there and she will come up and give me a hug, or a kiss or even just a smile with those big beautiful grey eyes of hers and it is so much it hurts.

I so need a new camera. This picture is pre-Christmas 2001. I tried to take pics the other day to find that the camera is gone. And she now has hair!
I love that little girl.
