DO EET, MAN.

also, i'll likely go with blogger as tumblr doesn't fit the model i was going for. :\

@bella: glad you had a good day! wish i had known about it, i might have made an effort to go. eh, at least we're taking a field trip to the boston public library on friday. i've only seen it once, and that was from the outside. -w-

EDIT: so 93% of my ceiling is covered, and the only posters left are my heart gold poster (which i might not put up, not sure), my deerfield fair poster (might not put up), and most of the posters pit sent me. of the ones she sent, there is a please! twins poster up, a Van Dread Second Stage poster, one for a visual novel called Canvas, and one for a series i can't identify. (all of them are double sided, btw.)

Wow! The MIT Railroad Club is pretty famous! They're some of the originators of hacks.

So, I cut my big toe accidentally. Kicked the curb while wearing flip-flops ^_^;;

According to the Italian criminal justice system, scientists are supposed to be wizards who can predict future events. Excuse me while I go slam my head through a glass table...

Mhmm! And they were one of the originators of MIT's hacker culture.

It's everything I love; model trains, old computers, MIT, pranks, oh god I wish I was a member.

Damnit Italy.... keep in mind though, that's like a state circuit court conviction and it wasn't a jury trial soooooooooo.

Chocofreak13 · October 22, 2012, 09:25:25 PM

i'd facepalm, but that'd be cliché. oh, what the hell.

@pent: sure thing, but i have a lot to post. =__=;

@stew: more fodder to get bells to get you to move here. -w-
but yeah, it's all really cool. :0

So, in about 45 minutes, I've got to go waste time at that unemployment meeting :\

Well, at least when I finish up there, I can walk across the street and get voting out of the way

Chocofreak13 · October 23, 2012, 10:26:12 AM

ahh, so that's why you're not online.

have fun voting!

Nichi · October 23, 2012, 11:50:18 AM

Well, that meeting went better than I expected :3

Also, I saw my sister while I was voting. The department she works for is quite busy today

Chocofreak13 · October 23, 2012, 12:00:27 PM

is everyone voting today, or is your town just bigger than you thought?

Nichi · October 23, 2012, 12:02:10 PM

Well, it's big in that there's a lot of people here. To me, it's small in the fact there's almost nothing to do :\

Bella · October 23, 2012, 12:03:29 PM

@Pent: Hooray voting! ^^
@Stew: Yeah, I kind of doubt they would have been convicted if it'd been a jury trial.
You love pranks?

@Genpop: I have to go in for a consultation with those dentists tomorrow. Well. They're actually oral surgeons but I hate that term, since "dentists" suggest vaguely nonthreatening semi-doctors with drills and various poking/scraping instruments while "surgeons" suggest highly trained professionals with cutting tools who will fuck you the fuck up. Annnd I don't even know if they'll be able to give me any information/advice because they're (hopefully?) working with these panoramic x-rays that were taken about a year and a half ago, but they said that they don't like to use xrays that are over a year old. So IDK if they're going to be like, "go get new xrays and come back" or if they're just going to work witjh the old ones and hope nothing's changed in my moth since they were taken. :z

And it turns out that if they need a 3d image of my mouth, they won't do an MRI but a CT SCAN. Which freaks me the fuck out because CT scans expose a person to the types of radiation typically only experienced by cleanup workers in the wake of nuclear meltdowns / nuclear bomb detonations and are responsible for about 2% of all cancers and there's something like a 1-in-1000 chance of developing a fatal cancer from a CT scan for young children, and a 1-in-2000 chance for young adults. AND I REALLY WANT TO AVOID DYING OF GODDAMN CANCER YOU GUYS.

So yeah, I basically have a choice of having the nerves in my mouth ruined or dying a horrible painful radiation-exposure-death. And here I am, trembling violently and barely able to pick up/hold anything because the shaking is so bad. ><

Nichi · October 23, 2012, 12:18:35 PM

@Bella: I'd hug you if I was there in person, but since I'm not, I'll just leave this link to a cute image here. I hope everything goes fine regardless of what route you take :[

@Bells: that's a nasty situation you're in here, especially the oral surgeon fear I can understand quite well. As for the dentist: headphones + favourite music have helped reduce my anxiety before and during treatments quite a bit. Maybe just close your eyes, plug your ears and think of something nice. Also, IDK how old the CT there is, but newer ones have considerably reduced the amount of needed radiation. That said, while CT surely is somewhat risky, almost every medical procedure has potentially unwanted side effects. I've had a CT done last year and it only lasted about 10 minutes. If you're living near a detonated reactor you ingest a higher dose of radiation for a longer time. Of course it's your decision to make, but to me a CT scan isn't really scary.

All the best from me, hope everything will be alright soon ^^
