A part of my tooth just fell out not a while ago.
This is terrifying.
It's like being in one of those dreams that one has about loose teeth or teeth getting pulled out. Only this is reality and I can't go back to how things were. oy.
Yeah there is nothing that I can think of that I can do immediately. I feel so stupid for the poor state of health that my tooth is in. All I can do is shake my head.
My conference call went well. I love that the struggle can vary in different parts of the country. It put things into perspective and inspired me to organize.

Yesterday I order a down comforter and duvet cover from target.com and today they just shipped it. I can't wait till it gets here! It's been pretty cold these past few days and a down comforter will be much welcomed.

I really hate school sometimes

Mon, 06 Mar 2006 07:14:48 GMT

And I'd rather do chump work instead.
I'm supposed to be writing and essay right now. I'm having an inner dialogue with myself and it goes a little like this:

I don't want to.
I have an outline and I know what I want to write about.
I just don't want to do it.
HA!
There.
You want it.
Well too bad.
You can't have it.

The problem is that I DO have to write it. I'm just being lazy. AH! It's killing me.
Cleaning houses breaks this academic monotony. I just feel like I have to be in school because I have to be in school. I seriously would drop out if there was an alternative. There isn't and that sucks.
I know I am just complaining but my complaint has some merit in that not all of us want to spend 17+ yrs in school. I feel trapped in a way. I have to do this. A little bit of me still feels like I want to do this.
I want to read! I want to write more! I want it NOW!

Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in an episode of Ally McBeal. Not in any specific episode...just in that universe.

Thanks Winteroffensive!

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
4. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

From Maus, by Art Spiegelman:
"One hour to pack, and FOUR hours for Vladek to unpack and refold it all!"

Gosh. Now I'm remembering how racist Vladek was and how he also sympathized with Zionism. Figures. The two go together it's ridiculous.

I had a dream two nights ago in which premium gas was $7 a gallon. My dad was filling up his car. Not regular or super. Always premium. It was a disturbing dream.

Today I used a keyboard that used the Dvorak layout instead of the QWERTY layout. It was discombobulating at first because most of the punctions were in the upper right hand instead of the home keys row. AHH!!

Utah, vacation and one crazy great-aunt

Sat, 31 Dec 2005 00:34:11 GMT

This may be a long entry. Then again it might not be.

We left for Utah Tuesday morning. 4am to be exact and got here at 5pm rocky mountain time. There wasn't a lot of snow like past years on the way to heber city. In the past when we got to Beaver, UT, there would be some snow at the Timberline restaurant where we always make sure to eat at. So no snow.
Even when we got to my Aunt and Uncle's house there was barely any snow. It had be raining on Sunday and Monday. Sure enough, it rained again on Wednesday. Not a lot of snow. Lots of clouds. Then this afternoon snow began to fall and it's continuing to fall.
They shut down the highway from Heber to Park City. Lots of accidents, which my uncle called to tell us about. They need to clean up the road. Driving in the snow is weird. We don't have snow chains and everytime I turn the car starts to slide so I have to give it a little bit of gas.
I'm getting new glasses. I have the frames, which I am having second thoughts about, so all I need now are the lenses. I'll wait until I get to San Francisco to get them. My vision went from -0.75 in both eyes to -1 and It will get worse, the optometrist said.
In addition to new glasses, new clothes, too. Yay parents.
My erotic dreams have been getting stronger and they've been with complete strangers, too. Complete strangers, just people my mind made up. It's embarrassing to write about, but on the last hour of driving to get here I was falling asleep and all I could do to stay up was to fantasize. Think of sexy thoughts, think of sexy thoughts, think of sexy toughts. It only worked for 20 minutes then I fell asleep anyway.
It's cold here. brrr...
Oh yeah my great aunt from Mexico is visiting us and is still in Los Angeles, thank god. She is crazy! She never shuts up. ugh.

Vacation

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 22:04:52 GMT

Los Angeles is great. The weather is always just right, the food is great and it's great sleeping in my bed that has been waiting for me for almost a year. It's funny going out at night not needing a sweater while everyone else is freezing to death. I'm from San Francisco, you don't know what cold is.
Thursday night was so much fun. I went out dancing at this place called Trash. Danced for a couple of hours. Had the courage to ask a couple of guys to dance, approached by certain guys I was not interested in but danced at least one song with each. Fun night overall and with no alcohol to boot.
My aunt is making tamales right now for us to eat later. Lots and lots of drinking tonight.

I got hit on the minute I got on the train today. I will admit it was fun. He kept glancing at what i was reading and writing and when we got to about forest hill station he broke the ice. Talked about my watch.
"Is that a Tag Heuer?"
"No. Swiss Army. It was a graduation gift." I got off at church st station. He was cute. The butt chin is what really stood out for me.

I had the weirdest dream last night.
I was in focus group hell. Not even that. We had to be creative and make something out of 3 silver rings, newspaper pages, a dog collar, some eating utensils and I don't know what else. It was so ridiculous. My subconscious almost fell for it. Fortunately, it created two subversive characters that wanted to rebel against the proctor. I was eavesdropping. Their conversation was about the contract that we all signed that stated that whatever comes out of the room does not belong to the person that created the object or whatever. Which I don't remember ever signing. What a dream.

Every so often I go into Ally McBeal mode. It's fun most of the time. It's mostly me decapitating someone whenever I see him/her, when some one stupid opens his/her stupid mouth. Or it will be me melting into a big pile of human goo. Whatever happens in that crazy head of mine, I space out come back down to earth and laugh to myself. Next time it happens around people (which happens a lot) I'll just say I had an Ally McBeal moment.
I borrowed the second Star Wars movie from Ms M today and watched it. Probably the worst of the six. I just wanted to watch it. It has its moments. The most ridiculous moment in that moment would have to be Anakin and Padme rolling in the grass, ugh. A good moment would be the fight between Obi Wan and Jango Fett. I fucked up one of Ms M's cables with the vaccuum cleaner and hurt myself in the process. I don't remember how I did that and she said the sweetest thing, "And you hurt yourself, too? Arturo we can also replace the cables but not you!" What an awesome human being, I tell you.
I've noticed recently that I tend to hold myself back and really stop myself from doing and saying things. I fear that if I keep holding myself in, it will explode into something ugly and messy. I'm too hard on myself sometimes.

Kiss of Death

Teenager with peanut allergy dies after a kiss

CTV.ca News Staff

A Quebec teenager with a peanut allergy has died after kissing her boyfriend who had eaten a peanut butter sandwich hours earlier.

Fifteen-year-old Christina Desforges died Monday. She went into anaphylactic shock and in spite of being given an adrenalin shot, could not be revived.

Desforges lived 250 km north of Quebec City in Saguenay.

The official cause of the teen's death has not yet been released.

Pediatric allergist Karen Sigman told CTV's Tania Krywiak if peanuts are still on the tongue or the lips, they can still cause a reaction.

Sigman says teenagers with allergies have to let their friends know.

"If they're going to be dating somebody that they have to tell the people they're close to that they're allergic to make sure the people they're with aren't in contact with those nuts or peanuts," Sigman said.

Parents of children with nut and peanut allergies have the added pressure of constantly watching what their offspring are eating.

Terri Elituv, mother of 12-year-old Jake Elituv, told CTV News they always watch out for snacks that include peanuts, or traces of the legume.

"Everything is just sort of fraught with this underlying tension, you're anxious about what he's going to have, what he could touch," she said.

Elituv's other concern is what happens when her son becomes more independent in his teen years -- and might not share his allergy concerns with friends at parties.

Desforges' parents are planning a memorial service Saturday.
