Oversensitivity = tastes stuff others don't = the following and a lot else becomes entirely unenjoyable

I went to the doctor for a checkup today. Turns out I have Raynaud's Disease. ><

Also, he wants me to get blood work done, but I'm deathly afraid of having blood taken, but my family's pressuring me to stop being a crybaby and do it, but I say I won't unless I get a reward, in this case, I'm demanding they pay for my getting my ears pierced. Again. I SEE LOTS OF FUCKDAMNED NEEDLES IN MY GOTTDAMNED FUTURE.

I have so many books to read D:

@Kari: Old enough to drink in Europe in the near future.

Man up Bells; getting blood work done isn't that bad.

All we're getting is very cold rain rain rain.  It's thirty-three degrees outside, so occasionally it gets a bit of ice mixed in.

I'm sorry to hear that! >.< I think it's not fair to tell you to "stop being a crybaby" because the fear of needles can be really overwhelming. ._. A good friend of mine has fear of needles diagnosed, and he's practically good for a faint every time he sees a syringe or big needle.

Ugh, so sorry to hear that, Bells.  At least it's not life-threatening...

@red: i just read up on the subject, and in extreme cases of the worse form, it can cause gangrene of the hands and feet. o___o
@pitkin: my sister and mother are afraid of needles, yet i'm so blasé about the matter that i've actually stuck myself with pins on purpose. :\
@stew: it's supposed to warm up slightly later in the week, so we'll be getting rain. better'n snow in my opinion. :\
@bella: if you're afraid of needles, why are you getting your ears pierced (again)?
oh, and if i were you, i'd move to somewhere warmer, maybe here or mass (that way you could still ski :3).

Apparently, second-stage Raynaud's can be controlled using Viagra.

lol, poor bella now has the circulation of a 60-year-old man. x3

[Bella She/her]

@Everyone: WHY YOU PEOPLE KEEP MENTIONING GANGRENE?! D:

@Stew: I WILL NOT MAN UP. >__> Srsly, I can count the encounters I've had with needles (or remember having, since I got childhood inoculations when I was young) on one hand; in 2005 I got a flu shot (had my face buried in a pillow while it was happening) and in 2006 I got two anesthetic injections during a dental procedure (I was on the brink of crying the whole time). >______<

@Pitkin: I'd just say Screw it and refuse to go, but, it'd make me look like a coward. Also, I'm really tired of capitulating to my fears. >>

@Red: It's not all bad, I could probably get into a career as a sushi-chef with my freakishly cold hands. .___.

@Kari: Because I don't object to piercings as much as I do injections or having blood drawn. I dislike needles but the thought of having one pushed through a piece of connective tissue don't alarm me as much as having one put something in or take something out of my body. ><

Plus, it's something I've wanted to get done since I was like 12 but never had the guts to do.

@Nej: Yes, the doctor brought that up. To paraphrase him - "There's another medication that's been tested in people with Raynaud's Disease... you've probably heard of it, it's sometimes advertised by people in bathtubs, side-by-side holding hands watching a sunset..." At which point the med student and I started lol'ing only slightly uncomfortably. -w-

[Pitkin]

I would probably not care a bit to look like a coward, but I'd think that the blood analysis would still be beneficial and therefore worth taking, no matter how unpleasant. >.<

I went to optician today for checkups regarding contact lenses and new glasses. The optician who checked me was really awesome, an older man who looked and sounded just like one of my favourite radio theatre's voice actors, not to mention he was all silly and fun and made me laugh a lot of times.

My vision's pretty much the same it was three years ago when I had my previous checkup. Contact lenses I tried once some years back and didn't really get used to them, but now I'm hoping to learn to use them properly and to have therefore a bit more variation to my looks. ._.

As for the glasses, I went there practically planning to get another green frames as I've been very happy with the current colour, but ended up getting red, very light frames. x) The selection for lighter frames was quite limited, as currently it's very trendy to have these heavy, plastic-made frames, which I would never want for myself no matter how well they might fit everyone else.

@bells: Sorry to here about that but I agree with Pitkin on the blood work, would be in your best interests to get some blood work done to make sure everything else is A-OK and to treat Raynaud's Disease more efficiently. Blood work isn't that bad, when I had it done I just blasted loud music into my ears, closed my eyes, and looked in the opposite direction. Also, it only takes about, what I could tell, a few seconds for them to take the blood and you'll be to tired and drowsy to notice anything after its all done and sometimes even halfway through the whole thing!

With the help of blood work you can (as I've stated before) effectively suppress the disease, thats what happened for my Atopic Eczema and now I'm all well and can do everything I couldn't when it was severe. I even found out I was Blood type O- (negative) so I get big bucks when I donate blood

Finished my F-11F-1 model in about two hours; the least problematic aircraft I've ever assembled.  Pretty darn simple too, but it has a panel you can open to see the J65 engine (which had to be built) and moving control surfaces.  Now I only need a reason/purpose to use it.

Oh wow, the new skype is so ugly.
