Mosh pits are awesome. I can't remember if the paramore concert I went to had one or or not. It more than likely did.

Sorrow: two more days until the surgery.

had to do an orientation today at the dentist office and they made me and my parents watch a video(yes, watch a video) about how the procedure works, and all of the complications that could possibly happen.

I'm afraid i may have a mistake, and missed out on something...MASSIVE to me. Just because im scared, and unprepared... In all honesty I think this must be this way, But I cant help but just get sad. I feel like its yet another horrible example of my "Safe" metaphor in effect.(Sort of an inside thing that only attendants of a certain irc channel know of, but to sum it up... its me locking myself in a safe to run away, and hurting myself unintentionally in doing so)

probably,
though I doubt it was quite as intense as the one's I'm used to.

Thrash metal mosh pits don't even compare to Paramore, haha!

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 1:40 am

Thrash pits

Death Metal Pits are where it's at

I like listening to music without risking physical harm. I want to turn on my mind at a concert, not off.

It depends on the band, if I was to go to, let's say a smashing pumpkins show, I'd probably just want to enjoy the music. But if you're going to see a band that made their mark by being one of the heaviest most brutal bands around a mosh pit greatly enhances the expierience.

And personally I find the visceral nature of a mosh pit to be quite freeing. Don't underestimate the theraputic qualities of thrashing about and making a fool out of yourself for a couple hours.

I'm pretty quite and subdued in my evryday life, ditching that to act like a maniac for a few hours is incredibly fun for me.

Most pits are always optional. I've only been in one once, crazy stuff.
Seth, thrash metal pit and death metal pits aren't much different, but when I think of a mosh pit I think of thrash metal that really gets the crowd going.

Is this the music thread?

Sorrow: My cough is sounding really bad. :/

It was just a joke, I've only been to one real thrash show but I enjoyed it greatly.

Joy:My cough is mostly gone

Joy:Hanging out with a friend I haven't seen in a while tomorrow afternoon.

Joy/Sorrow: There's someone here who seems like a nice person, and I'm fascinated by the culture they are from, and I think we just might get along well... but I'm afraid to approach them.

Just keep reminding yourself that they are nice and that you have little to fear. That may help

I kinda knew people like this, Who are afraid of meeting new people. Just rationalize it, think about it. Is there anything you really should worry about? If so, then why?

Hehe, I've seen those eyes in more than just Naruto and Pokemon. It might be one of those generic anime expressions. Either way, it was pretty funny x3

Also, JOY: State-mandated standardized testing!

... Why is that a joy? Because I've already passed all the tests! So next week, all week, I can come into school three hours later than normal. Life ... is good. ^_^

NO! NOT JOY! Wake up 6:30 leave school at 21:00 T_T
4 tests (5 hours) -> lecture (2 hours) -> practice (2 hours) -> 2 hour rest (procrastinating time) -> recital (3 hours) -> night class -> sleep

Sorrow: 4 nosebleeds in one day. New record?

Sorrow: I'm a little worried about getting my wisdom teeth taken out. What concerns me the most is the possibility that I may be allergic to the anesthetic, and not wake up. Has anyone else whose had surgery had this fear?

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 11:57 pm

Sorrow: Today ended in horrible horrible ways. :< Not a happy day truthfully.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:03 am

Joy:Hung out with a couple firends I haven't seen in a while, hit up the hookah bar, got food, and just kind of wandered the town.

Sorrow:I really need to start doing some work

Sorrow:Room's totally trashed.

44R0NM10 · Post by **44R0NM10** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 7:47 am

Joy: straight Cs in results. They're my target, so I shouldn't complain...

Ironic part...I did best in Physics and worst in Maths. I expected it to be the other way around. I've been told it was because I focused my revision schedule on Physics, which in retrospect is true...

Is it better that I got a better Physics grade, when I had the potential to maybe get a better Maths or Religion grade, but getting a worse Physics grade as a consequence? I guess that's up for debate.

Joy/Sorrow/poker face: got my AS level exam results back today

Massive sorrow/facepalm for ultimate stupidity:
Yesterday I decided to take action against this annoyingly huge ulcer on the side of my tongue so I took a largeish measurment of TCP and gargled it. (now for those unfamiliar with this product it is a antibacterial fluid mostly made up of CONCENTRATED PHOSPHORIC ACID that feels like it was used as a torture instument but stopped due to health and safety regulations) now after I gargled this I spent a few minutes enduring a searing pain on my tongue before spitting it out. I then checked the back and realised that you are supposed to dilute THOROUGHLY with water before even considering putting it even near your mouth... I have now pretty much burnt off all my taste buds and the worst part is that troll of an ulcer is UNAFFECTED!!! RAGE! please someone tell me there is a chance taste buds can grow back pleeeeeeeez!

Whoa... That was a poor decision, buddy... I think your taste buds might have a chance to heal, considering it's somewhat like a scald. Kind of like eating really hot food. It burns your tongue, and you can't taste stuff for a while. I'm no doctor, but I'd say you'll be alright. Since it was an acid burn, it may take some time to heal.

Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:50 pm

gotta read all instructions, dude. good luck with your taste buds.

WD-40 tastes horrible, never get it near your mouth

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:14 pm

Taste buds grow back.

Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:20 pm

now's your chance to eat some things that you find disgusting just to say you ate it. ^_^ you won't taste it.

More specifically, taste buds complete their life cycle and are replaced roughly every 10 days.

Well yeah. He just expedited the death of his current set.

I've had my wisdom teeth out, and I don't think I was concerned about that.

At any rate, recovery was quick--only one flaring up of pain, on that first day.

Yikes!

So sorry to hear that.

But yes, I would be surprised if taste buds did NOT grow back--I think the only cells that DON'T grow back are nerve cells.

But yes, you have to be VERY careful with any kind of medicine. I once O.D.'d on Aspirin, and I did that on PURPOSE. Bad tummy problems after that.

minor annoyance: Being the idiot I am, I hardly dyed half of it.

Following a long period alternating between modern and '60s pop music, they played Mr. Ratburn's Homework Song over the PA system in between classes today. It amused me.

I'm quite shy and have no problem with it. I realize timidity is rarely considered a positive quality. Thankfully, this forum is full of people who can be easy to talk to if you intend to broaden your horizons and work on coming out of your shell more.

*reinforces his shell* = P

Alastair · Post by **Alastair** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 5:47 pm

Joy/Sorrow: Had the extraction this morning. Went by pretty quick, and I don't even remember being put to sleep. I remember them putting the oxygen hose on me, talking to the doctors for a bit, and then nothing. But when I woke up, the first words I heard were, "Hey, you want some hotdogs later on?" and then me, half unconscious, said, "I could go for some hotdogs."

Actually, I don't know if that really happened, considering I was still out of it. It could have though.
I'm have quite a bit of pain on the left side of my jaw from where they had to pry it open during surgery. I'm taking Advil and whatever drug was prescribed for me, so I'm okay for the moment. I also have an icepack for the swelling.
