The GOOD & BAD THREAD (VI)

[snabbott]

THE ANNOYING: I had fake nails put on for the wedding, and I can't type without making at least three or four mistakes per sentence!

That could make changing diapers interesting.

[Deloria]

The FABULOUS: Deloria is coming to visit then!!!! *Is happy*

The FANTASTIC: I had the best five days of my life!!
The ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS FANTASTIC: I saw my first Shakespeare play!

Psh, tell me about it!  I had to wear gloves with EVERY LAST CHANGE, just to make sure I didn't scratch/stab/mortally wound my little cherubs.

The ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS FANTASTIC: I saw my first Shakespeare play!

Ooooooooooh!  Which one?

[Deloria]

The BAD: The world makes absolutely no sense.
The WORSE: Four months of incredibly painful and exhausting hormonal therapies with horrible side-effects have apparently been for naught because my body is still doing things it shouldn't. I would have needed two more months for it to go into remission.
The BAD: I'm so high and out of it and it's impossible to get anything done.

Ooooh, Deloria, I'm so sorry you're feeling crappy.  I second Snabbott's

THE GOOD?: I'm donating blood on Saturday

THE BAD: I have to load up on protein in order to do so, but I'm sort of a vegetarian (no red meat), so it's kinda hard for me to do that.  Turkey will have to do, I guess.

THE EXCITING: Tattoo number six tomorrow!  Woot!

The cupcake?

[Haids1987]

The cupcake. Jennica didn't want me to get it before her wedding, so I made the appointment for four days after.

Nice. Judging by your numerous voluntary blood drawings and tattoos, it seems you have a high tolerance for needles. I avoid them whenever possible.

[Haids1987]

I always tell people: a tattoo needle doesn't really look like a needle.  It reminds me of a cell phone car charger. Here's a pic:


As for the blood donations...yeah, I guess I have developed a high needle tolerence.  Interesting, since I used to be such a wuss.   But they always say that it can save three lives with every blood donation, so it's worth it.

...that pierces your body.

I have to get my blood drawn for health problems a lot. I get it drawn from my hand since I have no visible veins in my arm. People look at me like I'm mental but it really doesn't hurt that bad.

The good: I get to see a friend I haven't seen in three months tomorrow.
The good: It's Spring Break

Yeah, but the more you think about it the creepier it is.  I've learned to ignore the fact that I'm being jabbed by a needle a million times a second and just ride through it.  The fact that it doesn't look like a syringe/sewing needle makes it easier to endure.  Plus I have my ancient Care Bear that I bring with me everytime I go, he helps.

There's only one response to that: d'aaaaaaaaawwwwww!

You're going to give this belenephobe nightmares.

[Haids1987]

  You boys!  It's really not that bad.  Seriously, the concept is a lot scarier than the actual process.

There's only one response to that: d'aaaaaaaaawwwwww!

Yep, he's been my sidekick for almost 22 years.  Here's Tenderheart: no nose, scratched-out eyes, frayed tummy symbol, and 100% loved.

[snabbott]

She appears to be well on her way to becoming Real.

[Haids1987]

Awwwwwww! 

But Tenderheart is a boy Care Bear.  Don't let the eyelashes fool you.

[kindofdoon]

They have gender? Lol.

[Haids1987]

Surely!  Haven't you ever seen one of the movies?

[kindofdoon]

No, Care Bears were before my time. Beanie Babies (and Beanie Buddies) were the stuffed-animal craze in my time.
