Actually, it was kind of thrilling, but the dentist looked at the X-rays, then in my mouth, and then gave the following face:
Apparently, my teeth are quite clean, and wisdom teeth are no problem because I was born without them, but the other evidence suggests the presence of extra-terrestrial genes in me.

Good luck! (and perhaps the fact that it is the same everywhere can give you some comfort?)

Still don't get it, but that's okay. I'm rather... well I wouldn't want to say stupid, but that is what I am, so I'll just say it: I'm rather stupid. You heard that!? I SAID STUPID! S T U P I D STUPIDO BAKA IDIOOT! Got enough of it now? Yeah? Good! So do I!
Phew, glad to have that out of my system Speaking of teeth, my last wisdomtooth keeps surfacing and then being covered by flesh again. If I wanted the torture of new teeth breaking through the flesh to repeat itself, I would go back to my 1 year old self. Which I did not, so I don't like it! Make up your mind stupid tooth! In or out. Seriously, where is the wisdom in that thing? By the way, I have 3 wisdomteeth doing their job and I'm still not very wise. Makes you wonder how unwise I was before those three surfaced, doesn't it?

*finally got a grip on herself*
My sincere apologies for the previous somewhat incoherent post. Lot of stress: trying to get my mother a present for her 50th birthday, but she allready has everything. Only 1 day left...

Shop Mari! Shop! Good luck with that... remember, you can never go wrong with a good CD ^_^.
My mini-vent is that I can't join up with my church's morning choir again, because the rehearsals are on Thursday, and I already have a voice studio, choir, voice lesson, and then have to work with my accompanist every single Thursday. Adding another choir might be too much, AND someone needs to go home and take care of the dog. Considering that the rest of my family wants to be in the choir, and that I kind of have a bunch of other musical things I can do that they can't, it makes sense for me to just not rejoin. Ah well. |

speaking of choirs, still looking for a new one. But limited it to two.
I think I'll check them out next week. Ah and got my mother a present! Took some time and trouble, but it's done! I needed to ask my grandmother to help finance the BIG plan though.

Is it so hard to get a book? Is it REALLY needing to be this hard?
I've been trying to get my hands on a diction book for the past week and a half. I special ordered it on Saturday and was told it would be in by Wednesday (and the special shipping cost extra). Well, it's Friday and I still don't have my damn book. No one can lend me one because they either need it to study, aren't sure where theirs is, or don't have one of that particular text. I've tried students, a couple of students who have taken the class recently, and I've even tried asking all of my teachers who have anything to do with voice. I have 63 pages of reading to do, all of it in condensed format explaining complex rules for the IPA diction and Italian diction rules, I have a test on Wednesday of next week covering that material, I needed the text as of a week ago, and I can't get my hands on it. Literally, if I don't get my hands on this book it is going to set me back a whole year because I can't take the class again till next fall, I'll have wasted the money spent on the class, and there is no possible way I can pass this test without the book or keep up with the class... and it's an extremely intense class. DAMMIT. I am so frustrated and angry right now, and I don't know what to do. I'm completely at my wit's end... I can special order one from Amazon, but it wont get here till Wednesday most likely, plus the shipping is $25 to do that. |

It would be nice, you know, that the little moments of luck and progress didn't feel like they'll have to be paid off with several bad lucks and setbacks. It would be nice if things just actually got along for once, not eaten by the big mean wolf behind the next bend. Not a happy camper today, probably won't be tomorrow either, or the day after that. Fne.

I'm sorry you're not feeling good. I have a tiny vent, which is that I was hoping to put up a clip from my voice lesson today, because my voice really popped and I thought, "it'd be great to finally have something really good to put up on Entmoot." But I think we forgot to turn on the mic. :-/ So not only do I not have the diction corrections my teacher recorded for me, I don't have the clips, or her 'spoken word' advice for correcting my posture, etc. which I was planning to listen to tomorrow so that I could really engage it for my Thursday lesson. Blech. |
