So. a few nights ago I go to someone I go to for my own readings.
Holy SHIT the cards were talkative. And WAY too convincing.
I need to find a room mate. NOW. A move to Boston is NOT a good idea and will be a total disaster area should I go with my brother. Like, jail time or worse. I trust the person I go to for readings; I am not going to just write this off as a "bad draw."
Anyone interested? $300-400 a month plus utilities. Everything is on a bus line, or within walking distance, so you don't need a car, further saving you money.
About the only thing expensive is winter heating (electric), but I think that can be expected, given it's the Northeast.
It's a nice 2 room, 2 bedroom, one kitchen/bathroom apartment. I tend to stay in my room online all the time, so most of the rest of the place would be free reign to the other person.
In other news, my entire desktop is vibrating. One of the motors (I can't tell which fan) has gone completely bad and it sounds like an idling car. I'm not poking it now, it will only break it. The vibration is all over, so I can't tell where the sound is coming from so I can figure out which motor to replace.

I need a room mate. And I need one FAST. Room's $300-400 a month before bills and stuff.
More details to follow in a post probably tomorrow in the afternoon. But for now, this is a heads up.

I am not looking forward to this move to boston, which is on our heels now. The re-establishing of IDs, the checking accounts, the everything while getting our bearings and the like. In a word, BLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. But it's got to be done and there's a lot left to do to clean this apartment. And now I learn it might be within two weeks of hitting august rather than August 31.
Taking a slight break from WoW to eat and relax a little bit. You know you're playing it too much too often when you're seeing a negative of things in the game running at you when you close your eyes to blink. So I'm going to to get chinese. And then probably hop right back into it :P
Tried some mods for it but they put everything in random spots on the screen and I don't know how to edit those, so for now... no mods for me.

Always something.
I get to the mall. Go looking for a WoW trial CD. Not a single place has them, and when I go to Best Buy, "We are under orders not to sell them."
So I buy a "chest", which is the only thing available in their SINGLE SHELF of games in a VERY dusty and neglected corner. "Games are not popular around here." It says it contains the basic game and one of the expansions.
I get home. It's labeled as a DVD.
I DESPISE DVDs. Mostly because I'm before their time and am indignant about it --- can't they just put it all on plain old CDs?! (yes, a few years earlier and I'd say stick to cassettes. I'm an asshole like that.) And no, my computer doesn't have a DVD player. I don't watch movies.
Then I find it's a CD in a DVD's envelope or something, but it's -just- Burning Crusade, the expansion --- not the basic game. Unless it was both games in one CD and it was not labeled as such, which pisses off my simple mind...
Then my only USB port welded into the computer sparks (literally) and fizzles. No new microphone headset for me that I -just- bought!
I swear, technology hates me.

It's been stuck at 3.88 gigs of a 3.89 gig download for the past two hours.
I'm not touching it. if I do, I know it will blow up.
I'm going to the mall to pick up a (hopefully working) mic for SL and get a trial disc for WoW from Bust Buy. That should take me all of four hours (an hour over and back, plus some time for lunch). If this thing is STILL on its last bytes... x.x
Note to self: Buy a over the counter sleep aid on the way back, not sleeping for 72 hours has gotten too common and it has got to stop.

I am starting to despise Blizzard's downloader for World of Warcraft.
I'm about ten to fifteen hours away from it finalizing the launcher. That's almost 4 GB. The game itself is about ten GB, and at this rate, should take me a week. Looks like it's a router issue.
But I had to drop my firewall for the four days to download; now AVG wants a restart so IT can update.
So, Too Much To Do List...
1) Finish Launcher Download
2) Run AVG, Spybot, and Malwarebytes to make sure I didn't pick up a STD during the torrent.
3) SL Tarot readings to do. Three people came to me today alone, the one reading I DID manage to do, she paid me 10,000 $L for.
4) Start the game download.
Is there anyone out there who can send me their copy of WoW so I don't have to use this torrent?

Currently downloading the installer for WoW.
42 megs of 3 gigs after an hour and a half. I knew it was bad, but not this bad?
Apparently my firewall doesn't like it. I did disable windows firewall but I am not risking anything more than that --- if I even begin to THINK about meddling with router settings, I WILL blow it up.
Anyone want to help? I don't want to wait 70 hours for just the launcher to complete download.
EDIT: As of 4 AM, 150 megs of 3 gigs. I'm honestly surprised people don't up and leave over such a download time. My friend says it took him four days to get the launcher installed. At that rate, 8 gigs (the main program) will take a week or more. What a way to eat up the free time allotted to people! I go bed now.

Good premise, rushed into release. And I do mean RUSHED.
Glitches galore.
* Stuff floating in midair. Eggs in the Creature stage, particularly (requiring the ability to "Spit" projectiles, then they disappear and can't be destroyed yet still remain a valid target)
* The camera controls and movement for the "Adventure" missions is a bit too sensitive and overshoots the mark, going forever in one direction. You can walk up and over obstacles like walls as if they were hills, especially if you have high Jump and Glide.
* Buildings sometimes float 5 feet off the ground.
* Sometimes the last city doesn't materialize in the Civilization stage, preventing advancement. You can literally see a collapsed tribe if you bomb 'em. Normal tribes who "advance" are immune to bombs.
* The history page is screwed up if one starts from the Space stage and plays for a little while.
I like the ideas they're trying to do, but this could have waited another six months for development and glitch-squishing. They were pushed into releasing it early because they promised things before they were ready. A classic example of a good idea rushed before its time, all for the almighty dollar. Or Sporebuck, in this case.
Still, I might make a few Spore Adventures myself... Not if there are this many errors. Not the best $30 I've spent on a game, but I suppose things could be far worse.

No, I didn't sleep. And not because of the humidity.
On a whim, I downloaded Galactic Adventures that just came out for Spore after paying $30 for it.
On first glance, it is TMI for my brain at the possibilities.
It looks -really- clunky though, like it could spend another six months in development. Or it could be that it pushes the limits of my hardware. It's a good in theory bad in practice thing.
I'll talk about it more when I've played more, but it adds a whole new realm to the Space Stage...
They always come in threes. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson...

I'm not the type to visit "troll" type areas, but I went to Encyclopedia Dramatica today out of boredom.
I wonder why there isn't an entry on Mass Fiction yet, which has to be worthy of E.D. at least.
In other news, if I want to get all my teeth pulled like that, it looks like the situation is technically affordable. I'm wondering how the hell it could be, but we'll see. I have yet to call the oral surgeon and I'd rather hold off until I absolutely have to.

"I'm not qualified to do what needs to be done. I can't knock you out, and you need to be knocked out and get 6-7 teeth total removed. You want it done, you really do it all at once. What is left will not help and in fact could hinder; you should probably just get dentures. If the tooth is not bothering you, leave it alone. Come back and see me if it goes supernova and I'll take care of it, though."
Which is something that doesn't bug me, honestly.
So no tooth removed. But I still need thousands of dollars for an oral surgeon consultation... >.>

Off to the dentist.
If they try to pull ANYTHING on me (besides the tooth), I'm turning around and walking out. I am going in there for a pull. Not any other service like a "mandatory cleaning along with it" or any other such nonsense.
So I will either be there a few hours while the tooth is removed probably in pieces at a time and possible damage done to the teeth on either side... or I will be home before 11 AM with nothing happening. And yes, I WILL walk out without paying a cent if that happens. I come for a service, and if they deny that service "without this, this, this and this..." then Fuck You with the Dick of A Thousand Lincolns.
You'll be the first people to hear what happened, the moment I get in the door. Either it's a Mission Fail, or "Toothless Hyena is Toothless."

Bleargh. Tomorrow's the dentist D-Day. I am NOT going to like this as it is going to be throughly unpleasant.
I'm worried that said broken tooth is an anchor to the other two. That the one to either side will collapse into the hole, so to speak, since there's very little gum in that area. That and I think the professional "cleaning" is going to do more short term damage, making things worse later. The biggest worry I have is that the "rot" might have gone all the way down into the bone, leaving my jaw a "canoe" with rot in the middle.
I'm not worried about being read the riot act. Again. The riot act has never gotten me to listen before, even when a gym teacher in early middle school pulled me aside EVERY DAY and read it. Suffice to say he was not pleased with me being able to go a whole 3 years and ignoring him. "Impossible! No one ignores me! I have degrees! Money! God! Who's in charge here?"
So yeah. I'm going to be up all night, go in at 9:20 AM, probably be there until middle of the afternoon, and home by 5 PM. I will be in pain, probably loopy for a bit... I am just glad I have these events in SL to look forward to, to take my mind off this crap. RFL Wednesday-Thursday-Friday, DJ Duty friday for the Steampunk event, and the 420th Funday Pawpet Show on Sunday.
I am VERY tempted to cancel the appointment since the tooth is no longer bothering me for the moment and it's sort of "stabilized" in its position and I've been careful in what I eat. But a break this bad really can't be left alone.

"But money cannot completely resolve the problem. Researchers recently found six unique strains of bacteria that live in a bed of pink slime that is part of a little-understood biochemical cycle that devours iron, produces sulfuric acid, and creates a nightmarish broth of copper, zinc and arsenic. That toxic broth will continue pouring out of the mine forever, or until someone figures out a way to neutralize the chemical and biological reactions, scientists say."
WHY? With the right motivation, they can harvest the copper and zinc and make money...

Dear friend,
I know that you don't know shit this letter may come to you as a surprise, hardly I got your contact address from stealing databases the computerized search. search for what, porn involving weasel fetuses? My name is Mr Joseph mcboink Ali. I am the thrice sexchanged Bill and Exchange (assistant) Manager of Bank of thievery Africa Ouagadougou, unga bunga Burkina fatso Faso. In my department I discovered you mean fabricated an abandoned sum of nine million three hundred thousand United State of American dollars the united state of the dollar is that it sucks (9.3MILLION USA DOLLARS) in an account that belongs in the dumpster along with my virginity to one of our foreign customer "customer"? You mean you have only one? Mr Kurt Kuhle from Alexandra isn't it Alexandria Egypt who died along with his family good for population control in Siber airline that crashed into sea at Isreal learn to spell, dumbass on 4th October 2001.
Since I got phoney information about his faked death I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money who'd want it, it's counterfeit anyway because we can not release it unless somebody applies for the position of elephant ass cleaner it as the next of kin or relation to the not-so deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, well your guidelines suck sick elephant shit. Runny sick elephant shit. but unfortunately we learnt amazing that you can learn anything that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him good, he smelled funny in the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this completely fabricated discovery that I decided to make this business proposal with the devil, but he screwed me to you and release the money to you as next of kin because I don't have anything better to do and Oprah is on in 5 or relation to the deceased for safety mine, not yours and subsequent disbursement since nobody with any brains is coming for it and I don't want to be caught with the money to go into the bank treasury because it's mine, not theirs as unclaimed bill.
Am contacting you begin sentences properly, asshole because our deceased customer so you DO only have one is a foreigner and a Burkinabe is burkinabe japanese for "tentacle porn"? can not stand as a next of kin so have them sit instead to a foreign customer.
The banking guidelines are out of date by about 400 years stipulate that the fund should be transferred to me after I steal your money into the bank treasury after 8 years if nobody I'm not waiting 8 years is coming for the claim.
I have agreed that 33% 100% of this money will be for me you as foreign partner in respect you, respect foreigners? Hahahahahahahaha no to the provision of your hijacked account for the transfer, 2% will be set aside for me expenses that might occurred "might occured"... gods, learn grammar you fucking moron during the business and 65% would be for me, after which I shall skin you alive and feed you to ducks visit your backwards shithole of a country for disbursement and dismemberment according to the percentages indicated by Satan's contract. Please fuck me since I can't get laid I would like you to keep this transaction confidential hey everybody, it's another fucktwit and as a top secret I don't have top secret clearance as you may wish to know that I am not a bank official.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Joseph assfaggot Ali

Looks like my work site is putting forth a new wave of ads. I've gotten 6 or 7 calls in the past 24 hours.
But I have to vent at my most recent one I had just a couple minutes ago: "Look, lady. When I tell you to call the cops on the situation, that doesn't mean to start bitching and babbling to me for 20 minutes!"
God DAMN it people are dense. Or just really that stupid.

Last night while at the ghetto mart, I saw someone I thought I'd never see again.
I couldn't get the guts to go up and say hello. She was with someone at the time and I didn't want to risk a scene. I do not regret not saying hello.
The years did not treat her well, she looked as rugged as a mountain. Rocky. Ill-defined. Nearly flat chested. But happy. That much was evident.
I'm still without question head over tail for her though. Why can't I let her go and move on? Maybe I've forgotten how to, it's been so long...

Haven't posted in a while, so here's two things while I drink a Dew, hoping the caffiene crash later knocks me back out.
A) Hay fever. My entire face is absolutely sore and I was ultra-sneezy all night, unable to fall asleep. I have a wad of tissue up my nose that is all but soaked clean through. x.x This is either hay fever or a cold; I'm hoping it's not a cold. When I get sick, I REALLY get sick.
B) Dentist cancelled on me. "Would you like the 23rd of June? The dentists aren't going to be in on the 2nd. Due to jerking off. Or golf, or something." And other places either won't take me due to no insurance, the dentists retired as of 30 seconds before my call, got arrested for drugs, or they literally keeled over while seeing a patient.
Stop the world, I wanna get off. >.> <.<

What do you make of This?
As for This... I don't know. It's manga, but it's underage manga. Some on my friends list are going "OMFG 1st Amendment", but I dunno in this case, since it's all underage.

EDIT at 10 AM: Getting conflicting reports about buses, I'll make s'more calls/websearches later and find out what's going on.
Gods damn it.
So my dentist appointment to get this tooth pulled before it infects. June 2nd. Afternoon.
The next available date is in November.
Only my brother, who is my ride, will lose his job if he comes to drive me around. He absolutely no-uncertain-terms cannot come do it.
My father isn't talking to me and and won't "command" people to drive me (because people listen to him, usually).
The buses don't go where the dentist office is located. It's a private office out in the middle of nowhere.
The "shuttle" bus doesn't go that far (about 40 miles out of range).
My aunt, who is the one other person who CAN drive me will not do it because it goes against her principles (as in, "don't go out unless god himself tells you to, because you're 'old' and don't need to do shit, and even then wait until the bribery check clears") and has already told my father to "fuck the hell off, assmonkey. How dare you not go to your mother's burial tomorrow, etc etc etc." (he's not going because work has him in D.C. or he'll lose HIS job.)
It is an $80 cab ride one way. It is my only means of getting there. Everyone is saying "Suck it the fuck up, poopnose!"
Gods damn it.

EDIT at 3:15: Rassin-frackin' dentist schedules... date of tooth removal is in two weeks. x.x
Yes, it's another tooth related post, but it will probably be one of the last.
The tooth's gotta come out. The gumline is getting red and raw and I think it bled a little. I don't know. I'm stupid on things like this. So one of three scenarios. One, I meet the oral surgeon and he takes it out. Two, he tells me to fuck off for 6 or 8 months because he doesn't know me and I go back to the dentist I saw earlier. Three, the dentist who saw me earlier tells me to fuck off and I go to a place very close to where I live, but which has such a poor reputation (but $25 tooth pulls as opposed to $300-500, so I'm told)... yeah.
'Course there's always a trip to the ER if it turns funky shades of Evil that were never meant to be seen by mortal man. But I can take a lot when I'm alone like this, so we'll see.
That said, I think I'm just going to *shut up* for the week. I'll be on SL, but I'll be in a zone of fantasy as my Corra avatar until this tooth situation is resolved or another step is taken. So I'm not going to be talking much or dealing with people outside of strip-mining the sims I hang out on.
Thanks for the music, Sarek. I'll make sure to incur your wrath more often ;)

As I figure you've gotten bored of me talking about my teeth, this'll be the last post about them for a while.
So to recrap:
1) As a kid, my mother goes "We'll get you false ones if those go. You don't need to take care of yourself, *I* will, if you know what's good for you, you little fuck!" Me being a lazy shit really didn't help matters and the fact that people gave my mother the right of way in -all- things did not help. Utter shrieking shrew who'd throw a fit if she found out the universe wasn't triangular or something. HER mother would be spoiling HER rotten if my mother were still alive.
(and no, I'll get no help from my mother's mother. She's in her 80s and was raised subservient, and her "husband" is a 90 year old man who believes women should have no contact. If anyone came over, he'd go batshit and she'd freak if she "lost" him.)
2) Attempted bracers. My mouth went violent over them (I like to say because I knew they were "not natural", that that was the reason). Constant pain, couldn't feel the teeth while eating, could barely function... the works. Push comes to shove when the wires snap occasionally; they'd dissolved. Repeatedly. We eventually gave up.
3) Later on, we get (read: attempt to work with) a retainer. The thing dissolves in my mouth after 3 weeks of use. Like, literally. Even the plastic was pitted in places. Nevermind I couldn't talk, salivated uncontrollably to the point I felt -full-... yeah, ain't fun.
Cue the present day after we gave up on that stuff. What I didn't tell you in the last post about my teeth is that the wisdom teeth may or may not be *necrotic*. Yeah. Same goes for half the teeth on one side of my mouth, where the dentist had described "You might have had a toothache and it went away. That's dead root/pulp/nerves." --- said event happened... 6, 7 years ago? It was hell but at the time I was with my aunt and just toughing it out.
I'm going to go call up this oral surgeon later today and find out EXACTLY how much it will cost to get this whole situation under control. Not like it matters; I have no insurance, no money, and a father so far that is going "Fuck the hell off, I ain't paying for this."
The dentist's poking and prodding did some damage; one of said wisdoms collapsed in on itself revealing a Big Gaping Hole close to the gums, all the way down into them. There's a little pressure there now but no pain (yet); I know they're there and it's not fun. No swelling or anything, but yeah. Nothing I can do except be REAL careful until things get so out of hand something HAS to be done.
Probably sooner rather than later.
I'm going to try to go back to sleep now. I didn't get any all night.

So I'll just say nothing's going on, I'm getting back into the "Avarian Expedition" in Second Life, and for some reason I want to say apes evolved from man.
Yes, I -know- evidence supports otherwise. :P
I just got up. I'll be up until 5 AM at least. Whee.
Also, has anyone heard from poinktferret? Normally he has the podcast up by now and I've had an odd/off feeling about him ever since after Sunday's show went off the air.

I haven't used this icon in months. Now's a good a time as any to bring it out.
So, after not eating anything the previous night, staying up all night, finally taking a shower around 6 AM... my brother drives me in near-silence to this dentist nearby. After running through roadwork (and paperwork), we get in. It's not terribly "bad". None of my fears were realized; the days of setting a "flavored mold to harden" against your teeth (which I was always deathly afraid of it pulling my teeth out after hardening) are far over.
XRays were taken. The riot act was read. I've heard it all before. Net result is that my wisdom teeth have to come out because they were never removed in the first place and pose threats down the line (requiring oral surgery to which I have a referral). The broken tooth is only savable via $1200 canal, else it has to go in the future. One or two others also apparently "have to go".
Learned a couple new things too, namely how false teeth could never be an option for me. >_< Which freaks me right the hell out, because I was sort of planning on them down the road. :/
Because of the wisdoms needing to go and because they're embedded right down to the gums now, this means oral surgery, unconsciousness included. And if we remove teeth, best to do it all at once. I'm used to this, as this happened once before when four others were removed when I was a kid. Went to the hospital, knocked me unconscious and everything. It's a matter of when, not if. But the problem is the five-digit cost. My guess is $32K as a ballpark figure. Without insurance it's even more obnoxious.
I can put it off for a while, but not forever. I don't know what I'm going to do about the cost (my greedy, self-absorbed side has already named someone in my head to "use" for his goodwill, but I will not subject him to that).
For now, I'm not going to poke it. Let sleeping dogs lie. That's all I'm going to say. I'm not ready to discuss this with my father or brother yet and discussing it now with them will only make things -worse-. One of them has no frame of reference (or a frame of reality, for that matter) and the other one will demand concessions I am in no mood to talk about at the moment.
But man, I feel like I was better off not knowing. "What you don't know can't hurt." or something.
I've been awake 36 hours now, but it's daylight out, so I'll stay awake. I do know I'll crash out by midnight, though. Oh well, at any rate it'll get me into a good sleep sched perhaps.
I've got enough for the suit, film2edit. If I see you in channel come Sunday, I'll talk to you about it. It might have to take a back seat for just a bit, though. Maybe you could start on it after AC or something. I have yet to decide how I'm filing away a bunch of events in my head.

Finally made a dentist appointment. Every place in the area now apparently books six months in advance, which I think is bullshit. Probably some bullshit about me not having insurance, so they want to put me off as much as possible.
Fortunately, I managed to finagle something for this Friday, early early motning. A "cleaning", x-rays for the whole thing, and consulting. Should run me $300. I know a certain raptor likes X-Rays, I'll see about getting them scanned or something.
The tooth itself now no longer bothers me. It's still broken, and I know it's there, but there's no pain. I go with what my gut tells me, and this time it says "Get the damn thing looked at, but you're not going to like the results."
Chilly, I'll have an answer for you by Saturday about Aegis, rather than Thursday. Right now it is looking likely. Would it be possible to get it before AC if I do decide to have Aegis made? Not like it matters, as I probably can't afford Aegis AND AC unless I get some windfalls for readings...

No post, since there's been nothing TO post.
Have not looked at my tooth yet. I made up some BS about it to get my brother off my back about it; I probably will go in sometime early-to-middle of next week. It has not bothered me at all in the past couple of days but I haven't been using it much.
Bought a new tarot deck for $16, which is CHEAP. It was labeled a Zodiac deck. Oh look, 1950s artwork and NO zodiac symbolism whatsoever! >.> The deck doesn't mean a thing to me; I'll probably end up tossing it.
Probably going to get a haircut soon too.
Still considering if I can afford a suit from film2edit. I can, but will it get any USE around here... wouldn't want to get it just to bring it to Orlando for a night.
Nothing else to talk about, so.

Or something.
Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) homesweetalbany I have a couple of places in mind, and on the advice of a dental assistant from that selfsame community, it sounds like pulling is the only option. ("Too dangerous if it abcesses; I'd be surprised if it hasn't already.") Could be worse, could be a $900 root canal over a $200 tooth-pull. My teeth are so squished together though, I figure if one comes out, more than one will go with it because it'll be too loose to be effective. But, I'm going to make some calls Monday.
It doesn't hurt now if I don't poke it, but even I have to eat sometime.
If it's just a tooth pulling, I can still afford to pay film2edit for a suit, too (I wonder if I could go $200, $200, and $400...) --- I still have to discuss things in more detail with her though, so for those of you who bitched at me about a "toy" being more valuable than my health (Shock and EB, I'm pointing my finger at you :P ) so saying "forget it" because of this isn't too big of a deal. :)
I'll need to drop my rate back to $1.75 soon. It's been almost 4 days without calls. I bumped it to $5 so I wouldn't get interrupted watching pawpet last week and never dropped it back down. I got a couple calls, but not enough to make it worthwhile.

More to come on the dentist situation; none of it good. $350 consultation fee for some places? Outsourcement to India on their "call for appointment" line? Ad infintium. WTF.
I looked up the business my brother goes to that he described as an "unclean hack." Out of 17 reviews, 15 were 1-out-of-5. Apparently they're only still in business because "someone knows somebody else whom you'd rather not piss off."
Holy. Shit.

Looks like I'm not doing anything mental-health related for a while yet but some cards have been laid down.
Showed my brother my chipped tooth, it's not really an abcess, but it will likely be just filed down or plain pulled. 1/4 the cap broke off and now I simply can't chew with that tooth well. I never noticed it was that bad because all I eat are soft foods and noodles anyway. But -something- has to be done about it before it gets BAD.
Turns out my brother's dentist is a hack, my brother only goes to him for the low price. I'll have some phone calls to make tomorrow for meeting various dentists thanks to a request I put through to homesweetalbany. Friday I go out to talk to them (I hope), and then we'll see the options from there.
In other news, I think I'll be able after all to get a suit made by film2edit, if she can drop the price to 800. I've raised my tarot rate to $5 and are still getting just a couple calls. We'll see how long that lasts.
Broken teeth are no fun. No one to blame but myself. It kept me awake all night, not even sleeping in 15 minute intervals before "cooling it down" with a sip of water.

All right, this is tough to write at any rate, and I'm going to break my silence on a couple of things, but this shit needs to be said. This is going to be my only other post until next monday.
I'd oriignally said No Cut For You, but it got long. I mean LONG. So follow the bouncing ( porn... )
In other news, it looks like just -one- abcessed tooth. 1/4 of the cap finally wore away, exposing a couple of caverns right down to what remains of my jaw. It's painful, but I've lived with stuff like this for several years. Comes with "consequences of actions" that I knew would hit me when I was in my early teens. Unless it turns black or something, I'm leaving it well enough alone and just not going to eat thawed shrimp by the pound anymore.
Eventually that WILL have to be taken care of. It will. The more that tooth wears away... especially with all the Dew I drink.

22 years of not brushing your teeth catches up to you. Ow. (3 abcessed teeth right next to one another --- was eating thawed shrimp and they went "No. Just... no." I just never noticed it because all I eat are really soft foods these days) So I'm going to need to deal with that in the near future, as well as some other health situations (mostly mental; I may be doing what a friend did).
Also considering leaving SL; I've grown tired of using it, I'm not much in the mood to socialize anymore on there, and I've grown tired of doing readings on there. This has been building up for a while now. I need a new hobby, or to get out and enjoy RL.
I have a major post I wrote up about all this; I'll post it wednesday or thursday after talking to some people.

Oh, and Shock: Build something idiotproof, and I build a better idiot. It looks like wearing the "necklace" on the hud makes the sound unable to be found, even if I set it back to be a prim on my hip or something later. No rush to fix, but that's what happened (and I left a note in-world as well about it). I did reset the scripts though, and "Take Copy" on the object I dropped the script in, msybe that belched it up?

I was going to do an experiment in the month of April for SL, seeing how much I made in one month of doing readings. Normally I get about 1000 $L a reading (about 4 bucks), with a couple big spenders giving me roughly 4000 to 7000. It's now just past 10 days into the month, and I've made about 13,000 $L. Which is about... 50 bucks. So let's say for argument that in another week when we reach the halfway point of the month, it's... let's say 17000, to be a little generous.
That's about 65 dollars (roughly two and a half months rent on the land I own), which if the trend were to continue would only be $130 total for the entire month, which really doesn't amount to enough to make me want to cash out month after month. Hell, I never cash out from my tarot site until I hit the $800+ range, and I'm not about to wait months and months and months and months for something like that to come along. I mean, I'll go through $130 -real- quick.
I don't need to pay land rent, I still have 15 weeks plus left on my land. I don't need to buy any new avatars (I have 48 of them and I probably should discard the ones I've grown tired of / have found are discontinued).
So yeah. SL really isn't enough of a moneymaker for me and I'm not interested in building much.
In other news, work progresses on the SL picture taking for a tarot deck. I might just scrap it all though and start from scratch with a different format and focus though. I don't know what I want to do yet.
In other other news, I got word that I might be moving at the end of May to Boston along with my brother and his fiance. This has been planned for a while, so I might be offline for an extended period in a couple months as things get settled in. That is, if certain nightmare scenarios don't play out.
