I think that hurt worse than the migraines do, but it was easier to bear.

because it didn't sneak up on you to give you a brain wedgie, but do it so that you could see it coming? Migraines = evil.

I'm allergic to codeine. Says so on my chart. The one that the drug gods didn't read after Iris was delivered. Granted, the guy who did the epidural was awesome - and an accupuncturist on the side (REALLY good combo) - so the pain didn't really take over until just before they could switch me out to a really interesting and pleasant Demerol/Advil combo. The nurse who told me I had to get up and walk the next morning after surgery - she would have liked Ita's shocky-sticks.

Jilli - can you slip a zero-divide into something, just as, I don't know - proof of concept? Then they'll need more people...

My worst pain was probably when I had an impacted fracture of my shoulder, but I really am a wimp when it comes to pain. I'm usually achy on a regular basis, and I am a baby about any pain on top of that.

ps - absolutely, selfish. What the world needs is an ita army. do they get pointy sticks?

Mr. Jane would like y'all to know that getting a tattoo over your tattoo (touchup work) hurts like a motherfucker.

I think my touchup hurt less than the original (I basically had it coloured in and fleshed out), but that might have been because I knew what to expect. Mostly I was irritable that he brushed my breast a couple times.

Dude, I'd be there for you, chasing her down the hallways waving the knife crackling with current.

ok - one last post and then I'll quiet down... What's on TV tonight?

eta - ita, where were you when I needed you? All I could muster was a lame youmustbekidding.

I kinda think Mr. Jane is a wimp about tattoos, and well, any pain really.

THE OFFICE !! And My Name Is Earl.

Huh. I just LJ-defriended my best friend from college. I think I feel pretty good about this. She had never actually friended me anyway, and when I saw her this weekend, it was way awkward, since it was the first time I'd seen her since I moved here. And I have been here over a fucking year. Plans to meet up never gelled. Seeing her posts on my flist always just kind of annoyed me. It's sad, really. She was my first best friend, and my first kiss. But she's clearly checked out of our friendship since we graduated, and it's about time I really really accepted that.

I don't know how it works, really. Some people, you won't talk to for years, and when you finally do, it's just like old times and you like each other and enjoy the conversation and everything. Other people slowly drift away without letting you know they don't so much care about you anymore.

I do love the morphine!

Mmmmm. Morphine. It made all my synapses happy. And then I drunk-dialed.

Ugly Betty premiere!!! ::bounce bounce::

Yeah, I have a few friends from high school who I never see unless we're all in town, and we fall right back into inside jokes and having fun.

Then, there are other people who were some of my best friends that have either changed so much I have nothing to talk to them about, or haven't changed at all so I have nothing to talk to them about.

I have one friend who went from one of my best friends to someone I didn't really want to talk to back to really good friend.

So, yeah. I don't know either.

Thank you for all of the birthday wishes! Y'all are so sweet, especially since I haven't been around much. Like, at all. I've been reading, though, and yaying and sending vibes where they're needed.

Worst pain was definitely the broken coccyx. That sucked. A lot.

Ok, off to get ready for a Birthday Dinner with The Aunts at Outback. Chocolate Thunder From Down Under, here I come!
