So flist long time no update eh?

Alot has happened since I last updated. Aside from Spain winning the WC. I had surgery done on my teeth two days ago. It was wisdom tooth extraction, so now I have four gaping holes in my mouth and it's tough because I cant eat the food I used to. and I am stuck eating some seriously gross shit. Nothing is worse than packaged dried mashed potatoes. That's what I get for being lazy I guess (but lord i've been tired these past few days) and I spend alot of time hungry since eating is difficult. Also I am a wuss when it comes to pain. Surprisingly this affliction has made me more productive so I've been able to comment a bit more in some of the communities I enjoy frequenting.
I also finally finished my game Mass Effct II (and Jade Empire which I stopped right before the end before finishing for a long time) So that's good. I am starting on Red Dead Redemption now. One of my fantasies I confess has been to explore the old west like a cowboy so this game is appealing to me because of that, but also since I only rented it I dont have to feel bad if I dont finish the game lol. Which I probably won't since school reconvenes soon.
It's funny I have alot of interests that I am passionate about: games, feminism, films, tv, stories, music etc but I dont bother to write about most of it. I feel like this journal should be a better reflection of who I am and what I care about but at the same time I am often lazy about writing 1 because I dont know who reads what and if it's just for myself I dont need to update that much. But also because I worry I wont articulate myself well and often give up before trying to write anything too complex. It's also easier to just comment in other journals or communities about a topic of interest rather than post about it in my lj, since usually when I post I want some kind of discussion or feedback which is not always guaranteed in my own journal (understandably). Also my mind is so disorganized that I suppose it is fitting that my journal would be so as well. In terms of content.

Anyway, it's 5 am and I woke up a few hours ago to take my pain meds and penicillin but I feel sleep coming on again so I will go back to sleep now. Ideally I will update this journal again soon with something substance...or a meme. Probably the latter. I miss posting memes!

For shits and giggles, I leave you all with this:

This made me laugh so hard the first time I saw it. If only more of those regency romance novels went down this track, I'd probably enjoy them alot more. heh.

Oh hey, I meant to send you a note about this, but you might want to check out [livejournal.com profile] inclusive_geeks. They tend to post about video games/nerdly things in relation to -ist issues. It doesn't have open membership (to keep trolls out), but I don't think joining should be an issue for you if you're interested.

Also, for your soft foods, have you considered yogurt or pudding? There's also creamed corn. (A friend of mine also got her wisdom teeth pulled recently, and we had to brainstorm food ideas for her.)

I do have yogurt and pudding, I am being sparing with the yogurt since it's one of the few things I can eat that doesnt make me feel crap afterwards. Also If I did eat it everytime I got hungry I'd get sick of it real quick. As for the pudding, I have chocolate pudding and I dont want to eat something so sweet on an empty stomach since it tends to make me feel ill. I am usually very picky about what and when I eat because my stomach is sensitive, and I am trying to watch my health (and weight). I more often than not, would cook my food or stick to fruits and veggies to avoid foods that are full of sodium or unsavory preservatives and additives. However lately I've had to eat packaged food alot more and my stomach is rebelling against me + it tastes super shitty. I cant even eat like 90% of yogurt at the store because it is SO high in sugar and I'll feel icky after eating it. Same with alot of soups that are out there being so high in sodium. sucks ;_; That said, dad promised to put some carrots and potatoes in the oven for me today and let them slow cook for a long time. So hopefully I'll have proper and natural food to eat today. (also I am gonna try to eat eggs but with a fork instead of bread like I would usually eat them) Thanks for the suggestions though! I do appreciate it, I just have alot of food issues. :(

thanks for the link to that comm. I pressed join and hopefully they wont reject me. there was some other feminist comm I tried to join a while back and they rejected me and I never understood why. :(

bahaha I remember that from the EGL comm. Shame the cuts and bruises look horribly fake...and silver.. Also, I saw this on etsy when I woke up http://www.etsy.com/listing/47948175/elegant-gothic-lolita-bunny-toile-skirt SO PRETTTTTYY. It made me think of you and your want for that one innocent world print thats in the sale.

OMG PRETTIES *grabby hands*

I didnt know etsy sold lolita stuff! Girl how come you didnt tell me sooner! *bookmarks* I hope this is a good site. They look they have some real sweet stuff *__*

[identity profile] dazzlingsoup.livejournal.com 2010-08-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
lol. Just..double check them with me or EGL's comm because some of the stuff on Etsy is not lolita even if it says it is, unless just want it regardless of it if fits lolita or not.

Yeah I went through etsy and most of their "lolita" stuff looks ugly and poserish as opposed to legit. that page you linked me to had the nicest stuff. I really want that skirt man. I wonder if it'll still be there when I lose weight. It says it's a size M and I am still trying to work towards getting to be a normal size L.

also are you around? I am so bored and wanna chat. My family came home now, but everyone is too busy to play with me ;_; (apparently I got stuff from overseas but there's so many bags I cant find it XD) So anyway how are the plans going with your parents and stuff? It would be nice to see you ;_;

Ooo, i remember my wisdom tooth experience. I had 5 taken out under general anaesthesia. Best things to eat? Soup and ice-cream.

[identity profile] sisterjune.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ouch D: I didnt even know you could have more than four wisdom teeth at once. that sounds mega painful. I have been eating soup, but the problem is I do get sick of soup after a while, furthermore pretty much all soups out there are high in sodium, even ones that are reduced sodium have quite a bit. It's fine if I eat those once a day, but when I eat them for every meal it starts to make me feel a bit sick (and very dry mouthed). and while we are out of ice cream I do have yogurt and pudding but they both have chocolate in them, so I cant eat them all the time or that'll give me a stomach ache as well. Esp if my stomach is empty (maybe not so much the yogurt but definitely the pudding)

thanks for the suggestions though! I am just a picky eater with a sensitive stomach :( i usually make my own food and now I cant because most of iwhat i make involves foods you chew, which hurts my mouth atm.

I was a rare case, but it's possible, there's no rule to how many wisdom teeth you can have, haha.

But not if you make it yourself? I can only eat one kind of canned soup and that is tomato, the rest are to fake tasting so I get your point. But you can avoid the sodium issue and make it yourself as you say you like to make your on food. Could you buy non-chocolate desserts? I should have been more specific and said sorbet or gelato. I had lemon or passionfruit gelato and lost about five kilos in one week. Truthfully though I hardly got hungry after my operation because you're in that much pain. I can understand pudding making you feel sick because they are really rich and processed so I would avoid them, also all the sugar would be bag for your wounds. I have an extremely sensitive stomach as well. Also remember that you could always use a blender for vegies or fruit or anything that would taste alright blended really!
