Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.
*gets off soapbox*

I think I'm in Love
I like very specific scented products. I can't wear normal perfumes because they make me sick and give me a headache within a few minutes. Last year, I got a perfume oil at the Renn Faire made for me - Vanilla Caramel. See, the one thing I can tolerate is sweet, food type scents. In fact, I love them. But it's damned hard to find. And then I came across this. *jaw hits floor* Scents like "angelfood" and "birthday cake" to "sugar cookie" and even simple "almond" - I want them all. How amazing is this? Man, I need to get some of these. I'm in love Damned $18 each. I could get into trouble if I had money! *laughs* Imagine...mmm...angel food. Yum.

New Day
So everyone's warm fuzzies must have helped. I'm feeling a lot better today. Last night was rough. I mean rough. Took one painkiller at 5pm, a second at 5:30pm ('cause the first wasn't kicking in) but within a few hours it was hurting already. I dealt with it until about 10:30 and took another. That helped for a little but started to wear off in a few hours too. I was really worried. I told Love that when he got up in the morning (7/7:30am) to wake me so I could take another pill. But when I got up, that deep, fierce ache was gone. I can even move my cheek (like smile) without serious pain. It feels tender and mostly bruisd (mainly the inside of my cheek) but there's no big ache and no pain from the tooth itself. *smiles* So, I'm feeling pretty good. A bit of a headache but I think that's a result of the painkillers more then anything. I always have to be careful what I take because many other painkillers can either trigger a mild migraine or leave me with a bit of a headache. Either way though, I can feel the tylenol 3 is pretty much out of my system and my mouth feels really better. I'm going to still take it easy today so I may or may not be around much. But I wanted to take a moment to not only update what's up, but thank everyone for their kindness my way. Hopefully, we'll go all two weeks without anymore pain that warns of root canal doom (he said if it hurt more then ten days) and on the 27th, I'll get the permanet crown and this segment of my dental work will be done. I can't wait. :)

Damned Blogger Problems
Apparently when I published the entry last time - with much difficulty - because of some problems they're having somehow half my template code got eaten. I tried to reconstruct it but you know, a little groggy and a bit in pain. I keep getting an error - "the document contained no data" - whenever I try to navigate in blogger and even my help ticket didn't submit. Grr. Took two Tylenol 3 when I got home, laid down for a few hours alternately dozing and laying there, mind racing. My jaw hurts in a deep achey way. It's tolerable but my goodness, I don't know how bad it would be if I hadn't taken two. (I originally took one, then a half hour later when Love said I should be feeling it more, I took a second. It says "take one or two every six hours as needed.") So, I'm a big groggy in body and most of the pain is gone but jeez, there's definately still some deep ouchiness going on. I'm going to go eat something. Hope this thing publishes and doesn't eat my blog again. *ouchie*

Ow..
Just got home. Numbing is wearing off. It's starting to hurt. There is a chance that I didn't get it in time; there's a chance I may need a root canal afterall. Do me a favor? Positive thoughts, prayers, blessings - whatever form it takes for you, can you send a little my way that it won't have to come to that? Because I have to admit, I'm damned scared. Just took a Tylenol 3 so I'm hoping it will kick in soon before all the numbness goes away. I'm going to go rest so consider me gone for the next day or two. I don't think I'll be spending a whole heck of a lot of time at the pc. I'm actually hoping I mainly sleep through the worst of it. Anyway, ow. Long day. Lots of ickiness. Going to go lay down now. Thanks for your thoughts.

Dental Panic
Ack! Ok, now I'm getting really freaked out. 'Cause I know that soon I'm going to have to go to bed and when I do that means morning will be here soon and THAT means dentist! Ack! Ack! Ack! *runs around wildly in panicked circles* (And this is only half of what I need done. After this one tooth, I've still got to figure out how to raise another $850 for two sessions of three filling works each - total of SIX - to do!) And I want to try to pick up this because it's supposed to help fill in a bit more with floss-like cleaning and that's my problem. But it's another $130. *sighs* I just want to make my teeth healthy and everything go back to normal. So while I know I have to do it tomorrow, I don't want to. Did I mention I'm panicking yet?

Aggravation and Panic
So, this morning at about 8:10am, the phone rings. Needless to say, this wakes me up. I don't pick it up because nothing is that important that early in the morning. I listen to the babbling message of my dentist reminding me of my appointment tomorrow. No shit, I think to myself. Until she starts saying things like, "We require a verbal confirmation 24 hours before your appointment to hold the appoitment" at which point, I have to get out of bed and groggily answer the phone. Besides the fact that 8am is a damned early time to be calling people about their upcoming Dental Appointments of Doom, this policy is asinine. The vast majority of people are going to be at work at 8am. And will not be able to get the call until they get home. At which point, it will be too late to "verbally confirm" the appointment. What an absurd policy. If you want a verbal confirmation of the appointment and it's required or you give up their time slot, how about you call a little more in advance then the day before when the likliness of actually speaking to someone is slim to none? Man, I'd have been pissed if I'd waited three weeks for the appointment, drove 45 minutes there and found out because I didn't get their call they booked my slot! Yes I think I know I have an appointment tomorrow. I've only been thinking about it every single day for like three weeks now. I'm only panicked and freaked and dreading it with every fiber of my being. Was it really necessary to wake me up at the ass-crack of dawn to get me to mumble a "verbal confirmation" that I was still showing up? Bah. Then, arg, then if that's not enough of an annoyance, my credit union is downright pissing me off. I have a debit card with a mastercard logo, ok? Common stuff these days. Well, I've always actually had two. No problem. I use one and Love uses one. That way, when he comes home from work, he can stop at the store and get dinner, or gas or make a deposit (since the branch is right next to his work). Well, my duplicate card expired 03/31 so I email them and request another. Days and days later, they're giving me one pile of steaming crap after another about how I can only have one card and they'll be happy to cancel my current one and send me a new one. What the hell is your problem? I've ALWAYS had two cards. It's my acount and if I choose to have two - for whatever damned well reason I want - then it's my business and not theirs. I just sent off a snippy email (after three very polite ones) saying that if this is such a big deal and they won't permit something I've always had for no reason, then I'd be happy to find another financial institution. I've been with them for over six years. Had my Mustang loan through them. But all of a sudden, it's a lot of crappy changes and utterly unfriendly custom service and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. If they want to lose a customer because they've got a stick up their ass about a duplicate debit card, well fuck them. I'm done. So, an all around aggravating day thus far. People are stupid, annoying and I'm already in a bad mood because I'm facing dental surgery tomorrow. *grump* Oh and totally off topic, but another minor annoyance for the day? Just because you think something is true doesn't mean it is. When people have black-and-white facts about how something technical works and you rather believe your delusions that you thought it worked differently, you deserve your willful ignorance. Just because you kinda sorta maybe remember that something's different then the technical functionalty of something doesn't mean it exists outside your damned head. So get over yourself and figure out that facts are facts.

Pal Mickey 2.0
Someone came here the other day looking for info on Pal Mickey, so I thought I'd make a post with the info in case they still wanted to know about it. Pal Mickey General Info As the ultimate insider, Pal Mickey assists guests in each of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort by sharing entertaining information that helps them get the most out of their vacation. Now, with Disney preparing the biggest celebration in theme park history, Pal Mickey is all set to join the fun too! Pal Mickey 2.0 Specifics Pal Mickey Version 2 is set for release on May 5, 2005: Think of this like updating your software on your computer. You bought the old version, used and enjoyed it. And you can continue to use it if you want but you won't have all the newest features. There's a newer version out that you can get which gives you different things but for which, you have to buy again. The old Pal Mikey will continue to work, but, he will never update. So, he'll never talk about "Stitch" or "Soarin'" because they weren't programmed into him. But he will continue to talk about the things he was designed for (unless they turn off a transmitter for that thing of course.) It's up to the individual to decide if they want to get the newest version or keep what they have. Of course, you can also see some shots of my Pal Mickey in the Magic Kingdom taken when I got him in April 2004, here.

Unreasonably Tired
Yesterday was miserable. I simply couldn't keep my eyes open. I felt groggy and disoriented all day. And I slept through most of it. Today was a little better but not by a large margin. And as I'm sitting here trying to catch up on the net for the first time all day, my eyes are hurting. Dry but watery and burny too. Does that make sense? Thursday is the dental appointment and I'm freaked. Utterly freaked out. Blah. I really don't have anything to say. I can't really focus and using my eyes to see is kinda hurting right now more then I want to put up with. So I guess I'm aborting this entry before it really gets started.

Photo Update - Disney and Gems
Just a few photos that I pulled off my camera. Two from Saturday at Downtown Disney and two of the scores I've gotten from Silver Jewelry Club.  This is made entirely of Lego. It's in the water right outside the Lego store. It's several "humps" larger but I couldn't get them all in the frame. He's coming up out of the water and is really cool in person.  A giant Mr. Incredible blow-up outside of one of the stores in Downtown Disney. It was just neat.  These are going to get worked into some of my own jewelry in the near future. Which is why I got them. You can't go wrong with lovely sterling and genuine gemstone accent pieces.  This though I think was the best score. It's about a carat of garnet and it's simply beautiful. While some of the pendants might be a smidge small on their own (but perfect for including in a piece), the ring is amazing. It's a great size and great detail and I love wearing it. I'd recommend paying close attention to their ring offerings because this is amazing. Also, keep an eye on the size of the stone so you get one that will really dazzle. Anyway, I thought you might want to see real-life examples of the free sterling jewelry site stuff and encourage you to peek in and see what's on offer. It changes regularly, so just check back. You really can't go wrong for the price and quality. And if you use my link, I'll get 50 cents. Alright, that's it for now.

Nice Day Yesterday
Despite losing an hour *grumble* I had a really nice day yesterday. Rand was up for a bit of a road trip, so he and Love and I hopped on I-4 and spent the day at Downtown Disney. Unlike the parks, this is free. There's basically a ton of shops - like the Lego Store, the Toy Store, Christmas Store, Pin Store, a cool bath store, candy stores, etc. - and some resturants (we had some really yummy and inexpensive hot sandwiches at the Earl of Sandwich store). There's other things like La Nouba but of course, those require tickets (expensive tickets at that) and while an amazing show, not on the budget yesterday. Basically, we headed out to Orlando in the early afternoon, walked around, ate some sandwiches, window shopped in all the cool stores for a few hours and then finished up the night with a massive and yummy Ghirardelli bannana split that Love and I shared. (Rand got a brownie sundae.) Yum! It wasn't like a thrill-a-minute kind of day, but it was nice to just browse, be somewhere different for a change and just get away. Granted there were a ton of things I wanted but didn't buy, but that's ok, I always want a ton of Disney stuff. It was cool to be out at Disney without the cost of being at Disney though I really can't wait until I can get to the parks again now. *chuckles* Last night of course we lost an hour so it totally boikered my internal clock. Today we had to go get kitty food and a few things from Target. Nothing much. My head started to hurt so I laid down for a bit but it hasn't really helped. It's been hell all week, but it always is when it's that week. Thursday, I have my crown appointment. I'm so dreading it. It was supposed to be this past Thursday but I pushed it back a week because I didn't want drilling in my head with a migraine. I can't tell you how anxious and freaked out I am over this. It seems everytime I have dental work done in my mouth, it makes me more afraid not less. So I'm at a point where I'm like ready for a panic attack thinking about it. Which of course, blows. This is only one third of what I have to have done. I still have two other sessions I need but I don't have the $850 for the other half of the work. Hell, I don't have this half but I'm borrowing it and it's as much as I can borrow. Anyway, that's it for now. Just a random babble. Stupid head doesn't like the pc, so I'm going to take it to the couch. Not that it'll be happy there either. Ciao.
