Ugh, broken teeth are the WORST... as someone who shattered a front tooth at the age of 7 and then continued to re-brake it multiple times over the years... I feel something akin to the pain x_x I'm so sorry.

Pretty sure it's food poisoning. I know better than to eat the food that comes out of the cafe at work, but there are some days when I need food so bad that I risk it.

I've been reasonably lucky with my adult teeth (my baby teeth were horrible) but I don't take care of them as well as I should... and I can't afford to go to a dentist and get the damage I've done truly repaired. It'll likely be another filling (hopefully I can get him to do that) and maybe another two years before that same spot gives me problems again, if I am lucky.

I've also been lucky with food poisoning, having only had it twice, but I can still clearly remember how awful it was. I feel bad for ya and I sincerely hope you feel better soon. -nods-

Ugh. Fillings are such a pain. I mean, it's better than the alternative (losing the tooth entirely) but... uuugh.

Thanks, man. I'm sure it'll be fine later - I just don't have the same cast iron stomach I had as a teenager.

I've never had a cast iron stomach... Ever. I've got more of a... paper stomach. LOL (Not actually that bad, but I do have to be pretty particular.)

Anyway, I'm going to try to get a few words in towards my word count since it's just past midnight here. (The clock seems to be my reminder to get back at it... which is good... if I can actually figure out anything to type. -will try-)

Good luck. I'm trying to get words myself... it's 10:30 here so I've got time before the day rolls over, but I'm having the hardest damn time x_x

- Wow, so much words... you are now ahead of me OTL I'm behind again cus I couldn't write anything last night.... and tonight.. pokemon! Arg!

- I agree, adulting is hard :(

Adulting sucks!

I really should write, but... kinda want to bed :(

Aww :( If you need to sleep, you should sleep. Though if you decide you want to write, I'm in the buckle-down-and-get-words mode as I creep up on midnight and will gladly drag you down into this word count hell with me ^_~ LOL

- would be nice, but I really don't think I'd be able to write much right now. I should just sleep. I think I might be getting a cold too :( So need sleep.

Oh, ouch D: Definitely get some sleep. Kill it with fire. If you've got any cold meds/NyQuil/etc I recommend taking it just to beat whatever crap is building up before it can explode. Take care!! <3

Edit: Because I can't double-post and I just have to vent for a minute.

I'm over at a friends' house because my girlfriend and I promised we would help them with a sewing project (because my girlfriend is amazing at sewing, and I'm... well, I'm learning. I can sew on buttons!) and so I haven't written anything at all yet. And we're still here. I'm plugged into my headphones and have my laptop but my focus is absolutely shot because there are 5 other people in the house all chatting away.

Anyone? ?

- Sewing is very distracting! I need to finish my costume soon too. I'm just goint to war my old wig to the convention next weekend I think, but I want to finish the rest of the outfit at least!

I have had such a shitty day today, I just want to curl up and play pokemon. :( But I really should write.

We're helping to make garb for the King and Queen of our SCA Kingdom. Terrifying, no?

I was told in no uncertain terms that I needed to take a break to work on my project XD; In about an hour and a half, though, I've only managed 796 words. People are distracting. Looking forward to heading home... hopefully soon... hopefully...

- Sounds like fun, and while you might not be at your most productive... at least you aren't sitting in the hole right now :P

Yeah, because I have 4 people breathing down my neck if they look over and don't see Word pulled up on my screen or if I take my headphones out XD;;;

I'm sorry you had a shitty day D: I know you've been coming back from behind a lot this month, but if you're really having it rough then it might really be in your best interest to just take some time for you and play. And if you begin to feel better (or inspired) then you can pause and write some :)

- Hahaha, and I have people telling me that I shouldn't be writing because there's other work that should be done OTL

My friends know this is important to me XD; And they are supportive in their own ways. Even if it's kind of lonely to be plugged into music and thus outside the conversation.

Screw work. Writing is way more important. <3

- Yeah no one seems to think this is important to me at all. They think it's just some dumb thing that I do in november. And I mean, true, it may never really amount to much, I don't ever really expect to get anything published, but I do want to write this comic, and getting the whole story out is important to me! And learning to be a better writer, that's also important to me!

It's so important to have something you're passionate about. I'm so sorry they don't understand that :(

Writing is a hobby, sure, but it's also super hard... it's so easy to talk yourself out of doing it and writers and artists in general really do need support to be able to do what they do. Without support... at least I know I always feel like "why am I even doing this".

- Yeah. I guess people don't see me as an artist because I'm a doctor, I make pretty good money working only three days a week right now, but that doesn't mean I don't have hobbies and things I do on the side! Congrats on 40k! :) I'm still stuck at about 30k myself. Haven't written anything the past couple days. Being sick, and the Christmas Craft Fair organizing... hopefully with that stress behind me I can get more done!
