Well, I made it out 'til 9:30!
Considering I had surgery four days ago, I think that’s pretty good, no?
Forget the fact that I can’t yet eat normal meals and didn’t really realize that…it was a great half of a night with our dear friends, Matt and Laura. Unfortunately, this new system of mine reared its ugly head and I got tired and felt like…well…there could be problems. Thus. We went...

Some nerve...
The pathology came back on my gall bladder; it was definitely infected.
Guess I don’t need cognitive-behavioral therapy after all. I shake my fist at you, first doctor who wrote my issues off as hypochondriacal and/or crazy. I shake my mother-effing fist.

There's only one weird thing...
So, so far, I feel fine. I’m very sore in my abdomen, but that’s to be expected. I was super out of it from the anesthesia and don’t really remember much of anything, but that’s a good thing. I slept all day Monday and some yesterday…nothing out of the ordinary.
The one weird side effect, which I think is from a anti-nausea patch they put right behind my ear, my...

Here we go...
Check in time is at 6am. By about 9am I will no longer have a gall bladder. I’m honestly terrified, though I know I shouldn’t be. Hopefully this is the beginning of the road to feeling great.
We shall see.
See y’all on the other side of the knife.

Breaks from school are fantastic. It’s so slow, I can accomplish all sorts of things I can’t do with the li’l students are around. Thus…look what I did today!

Apparently, money outweighs decency.
Regarding the Spiderman incident: the actor who got hurt, Chris Tierney, is a former dancer at the company I worked for. He’s a magnetic and insanely talented person and it breaks my heart that he got so hurt doing what he loves. My friend and former coworker Alexis (known on this blog as Ablarxis) stated something beautifully on FB that is worth repeating:

Okay, yes. I did it. I bought a pair of black cord jeggings. I’m wearing them as pants. They’re fucking comfortable.

“I dont care if people decide to be Christian or not. What I do care about is if you are going to take part in a holiday that is based on the Christian faith, is it truly offensive that it is demoralized by the phrase Happy Holidays. Merry C..hristmas is appropriate because if you are celebrating Christmas don’t disrespect it by calling it merely a holiday. Im sorry Staci it is not a...

Stupid people are stupid.
sasstacular:
“@Staci ya but the thing is Christmas is the main holiday this season, everything centers around Christmas and New Years. Christmas is based on the Christian faith, thats what started Christmas. So saying Happy Holidays is offensive to me because it degrades the birth of my savior to a mere holiday.”

Completely unrelated to holidays
I watched this week’s episode of The Fashion Show on Bravo (ReHoz were on it, fools! Gotta support my crazy ladies).
So my question is this:
How is this not exactly like Project Runway?

I mean, hello! New Year's!
That’s a holiday that’s not even religiously based! So. I mean.
SHUT UUUUUUP.

A simile...
Life is kind of like posting pictures on FB.
You can do your best to pick only the best ones to paint the perfect arc of your life, but there will always be some asshole ruining the look by tagging that photo of you in the throes of your awkward stage from seventh grade or drunk at that wedding a year ago, firmly bringing you back to reality.

GPOYW: I'll Spare You Edition...
I quite enjoy my outfit today, but the bad hair continues. And the PMS break out. Thus, I will not post a picture, as yesterday’s was funky enough.
I need a haircut in the worst way. But with all the medical bills and Chanukah gifts and other things…I just feel it would be better on our pockets if I waited until the New Year. Budget it into January.
Cut n’ Cullah 2011!...

Oh, the humanity...
Heard on the radio this morning, an ad for some skin-care competitor of Proactiv:
“You see all these celebrities on tv talking about how Proactiv made their skin clear. It didn’t make my skin clear. Jessica Simpson lied to me!”
Yes. She did. It’s heartbreaking.

The boy who taught me to kiss...
The third boy I kissed. He was a junior and I was a freshman in high school. I had a hardcore crush. I would go to his house and we’d listen to Pearl Jam or P.M. Dawn while we made out. My best friend at the time was dating his best friend, but they didn’t get along, so it was this big controversy and a lot of our hang outs were done in secret.
There was a lot of drama in my life in...

My first kiss
Was at a party in the eighth grade. We were all in the basement in the house of the boy I kissed. He was having a little party. I had heard that he “liked” me. My friends were all, you HAVE to hook up with Michael! because they were dating his friends and wouldn’t that be so much fun if friends dated friends’ friends and all that eighth grade bullshit. They shoved me into...

This is a thread of conversations going on, I think started by RealestSocks…referencing this article from New York magazine. I started to write this post this morning and then got sidetracked by work (the nerve!) so I’m writing it now.

Yup. After two doctors’ opinions, some more information about the scan I had done, and a return of the original symptoms I was having which sent me to the doctor in the first place, it’s official. We gotta shitcan my gall bladder. It’s not dire right now, but it’s only going to get worse and if a little something that I’d like to happen in 2011 is going to happen...
