recap.

all this time i thought it was my back tooth causing me the pain, swelling, etc.  turns out the filling did in fact fix that.  since i never had insurance before, no extensive work was ever done.

after an x-ray of my entire mouth and neck... all FOUR of my wisdom teeth, count 'em, four.. were grossly infected and spreading through my neck to shoulders and eventually, to my heart.  what was supposed to be a simple extraction for one tooth.. turned into four.  and because my lymph nodes were swollen and infected, the pain has been excruciating.  i was up all night with a terrible, very high fever (my body is fighting the infection).. and i haven't eaten anything in almost two days.  (i've been pumped with codeine and antibiotics on an empty stomach all day and night.. ugh..)  this has been hell.

but the surgeon i went to was incredible.  from what my mom says, the stitches look wonderful.  he was so reassuring and so comforting.  he actually made me laugh!  i knocked out and really don't remember anything from the actual procedure.  and i just have to think to myself.. THE PAIN WILL FINALLY BE GONE.  for the past 5 years my sinus has been inflamed and every time i swallowed food or drink, my neck would ache.  i did the cancer screening and was so relieved when the results were negative.  once i recover from this, my life will be so much better in so many ways.

btw.. my mouth is swollen shut.  i look like an inhuman monster. rofl  crappy.. i'm stuck in bed and can barely move (and i'm starving and can't eat...) but by the time Monday rolls around, i should be ok.

charlie and my parents have been so supportive.. i love them so much.

so happy but so much pain. rofl

Last week I did some architectural photography for an ad agency. Their customer has a new corporate office which highlights some of the commercial structural glass construction products they sell. The photos will be used for various promotional materials both printed and the web. The architect saw the photos and got very excited about submitting the project to [insert fancy architectural magazine here]. If you'd like to see some of the photos, they are on my website Here

I have a feeling I'm not wanted here. It's very awkward.

I don't want to be rude or imposing but I really do not want to go back. Despite the feeling of being unwanted or not liked, I like it here. lol

Since I'm barely talking to my aunt and uncle, I try to talk to AJ. But I can only do that online and I'm getting the impression that he's angry at me or something and doesn't want to talk to me. So it's like "okay..." and then I wander off to do something else.

I don't know what to do. ; 3;

Another quick one. Slow shutter speed and I moved slightly but i think it kind goes with the subject though. Something Natasha gave me yrs ago and I haven't opened it as I'm not much of a drinker.

For those who are fans of internet radio, I highly recommend you check out this site.

I've been using last.fm for a while, it kinda sucks because you can only have one type of music playing at a time, but I dealt with it. With Pandora you can mix different types of music. I also don't think there's a chance of different types of music to sneak into your playlist. i.e. you're listening to classical and then rap comes out of nowhere.

Also, if you have an iPhone, I believe there's a application that uses Pandora! This only makes me want an iPhone now. :( I'd have no need for an iPod anymore, because I don't have one I was eventually going to get one. WHATEVER RIGHT?

Enjoy!

Just to add more to the mix,

I HAVE PNEUMONIA.


yey.

As I was driving home I felt the need to post in my Live Journal about how life is unfair. Then I decided that was dumb and threw that out the window because I'm already over the fact that it isn't, even though I bring it up to myself all the time when I see its not. So instead, I shall post a picture! OF MYSELF!

( LOL CUT FOR PIX )

Since lj's going the server changing tomorrow I wanted to make an update entry since I haven't posted since Nov.8. -__-;; Bad Sarah!

Oh, well new release entry coming sometime on Wednesday. I was waiting for my copies of LOVE's and Bahashishi's new singles before I posted it.

Sooooooooooo, how is everyone doing?

Self-pimpage: CDs for sale! XD

(And after I type the title, I hit my hand on the table.)

I got into Arizona okay. :3 I started crying the minute before boarding and cried for a while. ^^;

On the plane I was looking out of the window most of the time. The skyyyy! The sky was SO pretty. The sun was blinding our side in the beginning. xD I don't know if it was the water or clouds but the sun was on the horizon and had a red relfection on the water/clouds. It was amazing. And then the whole horizon was a rainbow. I wanted to take pictures but I thought that the pictures would turn out bad. I also doodled the first page in my new sketchbook. :3 Hetalia fanart, though, cuz I couldn't think of anything else.

Coming from a house that is always loud, I come here where there's just my aunt and uncle... it was so quiet and awkward. I'd talk but I don't know what to say. Seriously, the ride from the airport, eating at a restaraunt and then coming to the house, there wasn't that much said. When we got to the house we sat around for probably 30 minutes in quiet playing with their cats. Plus, I was about to pass out but didn't want to be rude or anything so I just sat there waiting. xDD

Soo, I get to sleep on their futon and be like yaay futon, but it's not the same as mine. D: And it's smaller. But hey, I get a TV too so I'm happy.

Macro shot of an old hard drive. I love pulling apart things like this to see how they work. Pity most of the time they never work afterward and I end up with more spare parts before I started.

After dropping off mom for a trip, I went down a road that had some Christmas lights up. So I mounted the camera on the dashboard and put it on timer a couple of times while driving. This was the best one out of the few I took

I haven't slept in... I don't know how long. I'm successfully fighting sleep at the moment, and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to take the stuff I want to take. Since they broke our second suit case, I only have one to use. Plus a carry-on and a "personal item". After packing nearly all day, I think I've figured it out. Because... yeah, the suitcase also has outside pockets to stash things. Yes. I hope it'll work. xD

Everything I'm taking besides clothes are things to help me through this. I can't let anyone else know what they are because they will say "Why are you taking that?" and I don't know what to say or how to say it.

Also, California. Stop setting yourself on fire, plz. I have to drive to LA for my flight. D: (Fire scares me...)

Soooo, I was in the kitchen making B a bottle, minding my own business when...

Dad: So have you heard about that Prop 8 thing in California?
Me: Oh, yeah...
Dad: What do you think about it?
Me: Oh, I don't know *I just want to go bed is what I think about it*
Dad: Want to know what I think about it?
Me: Sure
Dad: I won't tell you, it will probably piss you off
Me: Oka-
Dad: I think that marriage is sacred between a man and a woman. Gay couples should have the same rights as married couples, but they can't call it marriage. Does that make sense?
Me: ...No

My Dad is a nut.
