Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts,

Well I get to have my wisdom teeth out on the 23rd at 8am.
I'm glad it’s after I'm done with class and off from the 20th to Jan 12th but I'm not happy about it being right before Christmas.
How am I supposed to rock out on guitar hero when I could tear open my sutures?

I guess I'll just be stuck reading books, watching movies, playing handhelds, or building some Bionicle.

Speaking of which I really need to finish my BBC entry.  

I have a lot of research to do today and I still have to read my text book.
I need to figure out whether or not to keep the wisdom tooth surgery for the 10th or wait until January...
Even more research to do.

Well I had my tooth out today and it wasn't that bad. I've had fillings put in that hurt worse.
Now the unforunate thing is...
I have to have my wisdom teeth out on the 10th.
The top two are impacted but the bottom two are already up and out.
They want to take them out because the skin flaps on the back can be prone to infection.  

Is really sore. I got my Wacom today and its going to take some time getting use to.
It is a lot different than a mouse but interesting. The movements are different but quick and my hand writing is worse on it.
It might make a difference if I was setting at a proper desk and not hunched over on my bed. I don’t have room for a desk so I’ll have to figure something out or I’ll be having a sore arm all the time.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT RPGS AND COT!
WE HAVE TO VOTE YES ON ISSUE COT RPG SUBFROM!
VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The antibiotic has to be making my stomach upset.
It just stinks I mean I already have problems with stomach aches and diarrhea because of the Crohns but the medicine I'm on for it has pretty much stopped those problems. Although, it can cause the exact same problems.
Now I'm on the antibiotic and my stomach is upset and I have that running feeling.
Yes I'm eating when I take it. The only way to make it stop seems to be eating. I am eating so it's not that I'm hungry...
I feel like I felt when I was on Flaggyl the worst tasting antibiotic ever. Just swallowing it makes you want to barf.  

Maybe I shouldn't be complaining I've had worse stomach aches than this...

Here's the xray they gave me to give the oral surgeon.



You can see it's the middle tooth. The loose filling is pretty noticeable and that dark line is the infection I guess.
I would have scanned for better quality but I just took a pic with the web-cam instead.

Why is it no one trust their gut instinct anymore? I mean my first thought was it's infected but I was thinking no... It's just something else like my wisdom tooth pushing on my teeth.
But no...
Finally go to the dentist and my tooth is infected and the bone above it is. Thus an abscessed tooth.
Root canals and crowns are expensive so I'm just getting it yanked. I'm not a big smiler and its the third tooth back, counting the canine.
Well I don't smile that big at least... Anyone who smiles so you can see their molars is probably crazy or really happy....

But I told my parents my tooth was bothering for I don't know how long and finally after I made the appointment I found out.
If we had done it sooner we probably wouldn't be here today.

So I have to finish this Zpak antibiotic thing up in five days then I go to the oral surgeon next wednesday.

This is so not what I wanted...

I thought it would be fun and interesting if some of the members shared the holiday spirit with one another.
I know that some people aren't as fortunate as others so I'm going to  mention them before I even talk about the actual gift exchange.

If you don't want to participate you don't have to. I understand if you can't afford to buy something for someone else let alone your family. I'd be more than happy to help you out but it isn't easy to tell who is being honest online and not.

For those of you that can afford to buy something for someone and don't want to participate. All I'm asking is that you go out and donate something to charity. It doesn't have to be money it could be something in perfectly good condition you have never used. You could even do one of the shop for a child things that a lot of stores do.
If you do donate anything let me know and I'll be happy to make you a custom banner/avatar or edit a personal photo for you.

Now about the gift exchange.

Post here saying you want to be apart of the gift exchange and I'll compile a list off all the people until a certain date (yet to be determined).
After that I will assign random numbers to everyone and we will all pick a number to get a person to buy for. I'll take the last person that isn't chosen, that's the only fair way for me to pick.
No one will know who is buying for them, just the person they are buying for.

After everyone has picked a number they'll need to send me their address the gift should be mailed to and I'll relay it to the person sending the gift.

If you can't give out your address then you really can't participate.

Also, we're being honest and serious about sharing this holiday spirit with one another. There will be consequences for anyone that signs up and does not send out a gift when someone bought them one.
The punishment will be whatever the staff deems necessary.
I really don't want anything bad to happen though.  

Please don't inform the person you are buying for unless extremely necessary. We want this to be a fun surprise for everyone. Asking the person what they want spoils everything.

Here are a few suggestions about gift buying:

• Don't go over $20. I would only spend around $10 but I'm not going to limit anyone to anything. Some people might feel more generous than others. Just know that if you do spend a decent sum of money on something the person buying for you doesn't know that.
• Don't buy anything big. You have to mail the gift and pay for the shipping.
• You could buy something online and have it shipped as a gift, so you never have to leave your house. A lot of websites offer this feature and it's usually free.
• If you can decide on a gift see if the person has a premier membership. You could give two gifts instead of one! You'll be giving them a gift and helping out BZPower.  
• Do not send perishables such as food and drinks.
• Do not send anything inappropriate. You don't want to mess with a child's angry parents or the BZPower staff.
• You don't have to buy anything! You could make something for them instead.

I think this exchange could be very successful and Black Six doesn't have a problem with it.

Just post here saying you want to participate and we will get things started!

Well my gum isn't as swollen and the white bump that was on it is gone.
Now it's just slightly sore with a red bump...

Hopefully I get into the other dentist. :/
