mom placation was ironing by which mens perrypops in a womansuit is the new child mystericating teats that can taint baconated digestive broads plastercasting gnostically from the great gospel wwjh

i got antibiotics for it but the pain has kicked into high gear today. its completely unbearable at times. much like that ridiculous W movie i just lost 2 hours of my life on. :(:(:(:(L:(L(OL(LOQWIHREGigbwPFUIETg `qrp;

Unfun. Bad ear infections are the worst. Hope it clears up soon!

Meantime, naked burglars in chimneys.

ruby, tell jordan to be careful! i once had that weird jaw pain and thought it was something else and then ended up in the emergency room w/ the worst infection ever.

Srsly, if something hurts and gets worse, get it checked out by a doctor. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure; you all know the drill.

As for the W movie, I just can't fathom even thinking about going. I'll be damned if I spend one cent to watch a movie I've watched for 8 miserable years. If I want to get annoyed, I can just watch the dude bumble around on the news.

i would be all about preventive medicine if i had health insurance. obama, plz to win now.

i see your point, sara, but i rly rly want to see it!

xpost, Sara, haha re: W.

I feel like total shit today. For a variety of reasons. I want to crawl back in bed. And it was cold this morning for the first time in TX. See your breath cold. Made me realize I have next to no sweaters (perhaps in a box in the garage?) and I need a new winter coat. This weekend, to the mall!

I'm also having a hard time not falling in love with Obama. It would be a sad thing b/c if he does win I'm sure his rock star shine will wear off once the hard reality of fixing this country sinks in.

Actually (assuming a victory, of course) that's what I'm looking forward to the most! Not in the sense that it'll be a slam dunk, more in the sense that I'd rather have a crew of deep thinkers who are also skillful politicans dealing with things for a while instead of frickin' goofs.

I just know he's going to be slammed with criticism b/c the tasks ahead are not easy and it will be awhile before change actually happens. I just can't imagine wanting the job he might be walking into.

Okay, I have a new Halloween costume: Ashley Todd.

he's defintiely walking into a crapstorm. i think he will remain composed, but i worry about the right wingers going "SEE HE COULDN'T DO IT! WE TOLD YOU!" in 2 months when the whole world isn't perfect yet.

Well, the right wingers might say that, but I suspect that most non-crazy people realize that this mess is going to take longer than two months to get out of.

I'm sure I'll see "W" someday; I just can't stomach the idea of seeing it right now. Way, way too soon.

Everyone has to get better and not be sick anymore on this thread! I am sad to think of any of you being ill. So STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

i just typed "dong giovanni" instead of don. now THAT would be a funny opera!

^^^ would audition

^^^ would cast

STILL IN PAIN. Called dr in tears yesterday practically begging for painkillers. NO DICE.

The most annoying thing is that if i were back in australia i could get hydrocodone over the motherfucxkin counter. GAAAAAAAAH.

also: this wed-fri are vacation days for me and probably that last ill see for another year or so. RIPPED OFF. </whining>

the good news is ive set a goal for myself to complete tomb raider II - whatever latest tomb raider is.

AND IM WEARING A HOODIE - YAY AUTUMN

Sunny, I'm so sorry you're still in so much pain. That sucks.

I'll be spending this entire weekend at the hospital, so everyone here is charged with having fun and relaxing for me. (Well, unless you're sick/in pain, in which case, I will accept that excuse).

hi guys. posting here because if i post on the idiotic "why do all musicians like great well-executed music?" geir thread, im going to start abusing my sitewide yellowcarding powers.

deep breath, count to ten, ignore.

dude you're dealing with GEIR

yeah, im not surprised with him, but who are these other random nutjobs joinging into the chorus of "yes let us get to the bottom of this"

it is a mystery how shall we ever solve it

I will give you a hint, John; they are called "ILM posters".

yah true

hey all xoxo

hi dere

what ever happened to the vaguely rumored remy mn maybe someday visit?

Hi remy!
NYC visit also requested!
I has cmj hangover ugh.

vaguely rumored mn/nyc visit stalled by unintentional promotion + recent acquisition of gf (see also: why i'm hardly on ilx)

That thread is the first encounter I've had with Geir. I've never been an ILM reader. I did not post, but, wow. How has he ever survived on ilx?

I have my own laptop back. The LCD was cracked and G replaced it. He is my hero. And the Horns are on, defending their #1 spot. yay.

just carved pumpkins while getting drunk and then dressed my cat up in a monkey costume. pictures forthcoming.

I am nearly in a coma from clinical, but had a good day. Except for the whole "large stretch of 35W is closed, so good fucking luck getting to the hospital" thing. If it weren't for cell phones, I would have driven around the Cities haplessly all day. (Note to self: buy a map.)

Taking 35E up tomorrow.

John, I look forward to seeing those photos. And I desperately wish that your cat could talk.

so do i.

i think i might have posted this before, the woman who looks after our dog when we go away once said to me, 'the day the pets can talk is the day i go out of the pet minding business.' !!!<3

i went to the opera tonight! it was lovely! we got dressed up! after we went to this rooftop hotel bar that was really weird and scary, so then we ended up at this other bar we'd been to a few times bc it is close to train, but this time was full of gross drunk people making out. then we ended up taking cabs home.

anyway, it is so nice to dress up and go to the opera! i should do this more often! especially since i work there... can't wait to have my life back in 8 months (almost like i'm waiting to pop out a baby!).

Clinicals! I know you will rock Sara - because...you're approaching this FROM birth and parenting, so you already know about A LOT of biological functions, being as you have been there.
I also feel (having five friends enter nursing later in life) that nursing - and all medical careers - are a CHOICE. SO...
yeah, it's a good field for you economically, but you are going to be the best in your field because you already love your field.

I saw a bumper sticker today:
"Bedside Nurses = Less Patients"

It was so weird, because it's obviousaly for less patient overload ONTO nurses.
But it has some creepy over and undertones!
Not the best message for the stressed nurses to be putting on their bumpers!

Well, if things don't go my way come 11/4 I will be curled up in a fetal position in my closet for...awhile.
But since that is not going to happen! I will be thinking of you ...because you probably have finals two weeks after Thanksgiving.
Just remember...you are doing this so you can help save lives, and make people comfortable, and give your gifts to the world.

But,yeah, you should stress out right now:)

Alison, I slept badly last night (stress and schedule being thoroughly messed up by the clinical schedule). Then I stopped by here to just see what people did last night and found your SUPER INSPIRING message, and now you are my hero of the day. THANK YOU!

And yeah - it sounds like "bedside nurses will KILL your patients in order to get less of them" or something. Yikes! Weird bumper sticker.

ps tehresa, I like your analogy, but once you pop a baby out, you never really get your life back. Not that you even want that life anymore, mostly, but I'm just saying!!!

Sara:

Go buy 6 Feet Deep by Gravediggaz. It will not cheer you up but it will make your eyes cross with all of the swearing and violence.

Hey, just what I need right now!!!

In emergency room :(:(:(:(:(:(

oh no!!! bc of ear!?? this happened to me once. perk: they give you vicodin.

I'm allergic to vicodin. ;_;

But hoping Sunny is pain-free soon. And that someone, somewhere regrets not giving her some decent meds before this.

I am not pleased that PP and Sunny have had to deal with hospitals so much. :-/

u_u indeed

outcome: Percocet..YAY!

aw sunny<3<3, if i was there i would play 'my heart will go on' for you on the recorder to soothe your poor sore ears.

So it is a toothache? Hope the percocet is kicking in.

no, S, it turned out to be a lot of fluid build up behind my eardrums creating pressure and PAIN. No actual infection. I'm 'firing' my original dr today. he and his goddamn hang up on me like im a drug addict trying to scam fucking codiene of all things(!!!) nurse can go fuck themselves. preferably in their ears while they have ear infections.

estela, if I haven't made it abundantly clear by now, i <3 you.

haha...wow i look rough in that photo
