Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The past few days I've been going through the motions. Nothing particularly funny or outlandish has happened.

My diet is comprised of ginger ale and ensure/boost chocolate protein/energy shakes, and easy mac and/or hamburger helper. And oatmeal for breakfast.
It's like college all over again! Except without the ginger ale and energy shakes.

My birthday is october 5 and I turn 21. October 5 is a sunday. WTF LAME (In my state there is no alcohol sales on sunday) but I suppose it's not like I can drink anyway considering my mouth and I fear what would happen if I drank too much with the meds I'm on. I don't even have a birthday list so what's going to happen irl for my 21st is a big mystery. After I get the rubberbands taken out of my mouth, I should pick a new date for my birthday and just pretend that day is it and go party hard or something. xP I have no friends irl though. =_=
Not here, anyway. They're all in Florida.

Regardless, online is completely different. I was keeping it a secret but I am too excited too anymore!!
I have commissioned DrunkenStyle to make me some art and I know he is very close to being done. I told him to keep it a secret as to what he's doing but they tell me good things and I can't wait to see it! I might even get it early!! The fact that I had to pay for my own bday present is of no concern to me-- I've wanted DS art for a loooong time and I know I will not be disappointed!!

I also know I am getting color=emo art (Which I didn't pay for but probably will end up doing so purely out of guilt-- sorry looce) and there are also some other people who have been giving me hints but to be honest, as long as I get the DS art I will be on cloud nine for a while! xd

I wonder what it's like! I am pretty sure it is Q by himself so I wonder if I should make a new profile out of it or get a new post style... It seems lame to only resign the art to my signature.

I WONDER WHAT EMO HAS COOKED UP! gonk the suspense is killing me, I know she has a wip but she won't show it to me because she's waiting for my bday to come gonk gonk

I feel kind of bad for shoving my birthday and art in everyone's faces (Am I? I thought I was). And I am less so dropping hits and moreso slapping people. It's because I have this habit where for the past like. 18 years I never said anything about my birthday so people either got me nothing or got me something I didn't want because they didn't know. 20th bday wasn't so great even thoguh I tried to drop a ton of hints so I am sorry if I'm an a*****e this year but I want to make up for all the years where I didn't get anything even useful.

THOUGH I DO HAVE TO SAY-- you guys who get the prank gifts, I love you! xD I will probably never use the items but I remember that you care and know enough about me to make a joke. rofl

Anyway, back to my surgery.
I've been steadily getting sleepier and sleepier and today I slept until 4pm. D:
I am just sooo tired all the time and I didn't find out why until today.
It's that time of the month. D: D: D:

I am like super anemic when this happens so now I wonder how long I can sleep and how little I can eat before I like starve myself this week. So I mean, if you don't see my online often it's because I'm sleeping. Dx

Also, my weekly doc appointment is tomorrow where he'll likely change up the rubberbands again and probably say something about how badly I'm keeping my teeth cleaned.
I try but it's difficult.

I bought new baby toothbrushes so it was easier to brush but I haven't been using toothpaste because I can't feel the inside of my mouth still. When I brush my teeth my gums often bleed and I don't even realize until I pull out a red toothbrush head. D:

Not to mention more food has been getting caught between my lower lip so every time after I eat now I have to go to the bathroom and check and make sure all the residual food is out of my mouth D:

Also, still drooling a ton and my swelling is getting worse, but only my chin/lower lip, and not my cheeks anymore. Kind of glad my cheeks aren't swelling up any more but now I feel like I'm carrying a 5lb weight on my face. D: D:
