Losing My Wisdom

Watch me get all cheesy with my post title! I had a wisdom tooth taken out yesterday. Enormous pain. I'm such a wuss with pain. Really low pain threshold.

I don't know why it's called "wisdom teeth". Am I dumber now?

I tried looking up "quicksand" on Wikipedia because I wanted to know how it works, but I couldn't really understand it. Something about sudden viscosity change caused by force. I still don't really get it. Maybe I am losing my wisdom along with my tooth.

I love Wikipedia. It's so useful. I can learn anything from it. A while ago, I forgot my trigonometry and re-learned it from Wikipedia.

This is also how I waste time online when I should be working. I blog and learn weird info.

Now I'm going to look up wisdom teeth.

Go, me! Watch me learn.

Quicksand is the stuff you can microwave ready in less time it takes to bake or boil it. Sort of like the individual servings of EasyMac.

Is there a slowsand?

No. That's just called..Sand

And yes, I still have 3 of my 4 wisdom teef.

Removing my wisdom teeth took about 8 hours, and they had to be chipped into pieces in my gums. Local anesthetics don't work so well on me, so I had one of those sandy stress balls, and periodically laughed maniacly. Scared the shit out of the maxillofacial surgeon... He was like "Are you... alright?"

I think quicksand is quicksand like quicksilver or quicklime. I don't think it necessarily has to do with speed so much as properties. Also, quicksand can't really kill you unless you die of starvation, dehyrdration, or exhaustion, because you float in it. I wouldn't contemplate quicksand at length. I've seen 3 black widows in the last 24 hours. THAT I worry about...

Copycat. Go find somewhere else to pretend to be concerned.

I'm joking.

I'm also in a foul mood.

This is from my new laptop, which is unpleasantly warm...

be careful of the fan on that... always keep it on a surface where it can blow out the warm air

like a table top or book when sitting on your lap

I'm alive, just in case your imagination got the better of you.

Went through a short period of depression. Self-caused, of course. Blogged about it. OK now.

I was browsing for laptops a few days ago. Came across the Ferrari. Pretty cool-looking machine! Way over-priced and reliant on its looks, but I'm superficial like that anyway.

I've always wanted to get a laptop, but it's never been an option because they can't handle heavy graphics software. Such a shame. I'm so the type to show it off as an accessory.
