I fucking love my life

[Tikker]

But yeah, I'm guilty of it too where if someone tells me a story about how life is hard, my first impluse is to share a hard-lucky story myself. Not that I'm necessarily competiting for the omgz-my-life-is-so-rough award, but because I feel like it lets me relate to how they are feeling a little bit. Or something.

I think I might be guilty of this too, haha

[leah]

welcome to me during PMS. poor josh

[leah]

it was bizarre because I could tell I was getting mad and irritated for absolutely no reason

i meant this is me in PMS, not crazy jaw pain hehe.

[Adivina]

Jay - this isn't about who school is for, you wouldn't get it :P Move the fuck on I have, I fucking deleted my damn response. Like Mart said I am in a inordinant amount of pain right now, I say shit I don't mean, cut me a fucking break please.

By the way - for Mart because she was curious earlier. They now are not sure on the shingles theory, mainly because to have it in your mouth is just really not the norm at all, the new thought is that it may be an infection within my jaw bone, which would make sense due to the "it feels like my jaw bone is being shattered with a hammer" level of pain I have in my jaw constantly, especially right at the hinge.

that sounds more like an abcess (had not 1, but 2 a month ago)

it hurt like a bitch, and made me crazy stylez irritable, and became scary easy to provoke me into a barely controllable rage

it was bizarre because I could tell I was getting mad and irritated for absolutely no reason

Unfortunatly its not an abcess, there are huge swelling sores on the right side of my mouth and on my gum, they have never seen anything like them, it basically looks like I shredded my mouth with my fucking teeth, thats how maimed these things look. Then there is the bone pain along with the other pain. Abcesses are easy to diagnose by feel and look alone, Aryy had one last month, its not one on me for sure.

Edit because I can't tell my left from my right.

eh? there was no visual indication in my mouth that there was an abcess

the ones that I had grew right at the bottom of the root tips

and it's not just canker sores?

[Adivina]

Not cankers at all. I had a whole team of doctors in my mouth, amazed at the sores. I am being sent to the infectious disease center for further blood work and diagnosis. Its a wee scary, the pain amount is inordinant. The said the sores look almost like shingles, but in my mouth. It basically just looks fucking mauled, with lots of swelling and white areas. I've had cankers before this is nothing like it, I can't explain how they look to you but if you saw them you would know in one look its not a canker. My mother is also in the medical field and she is pretty fucking worried after taking one look at them, mind you she works with the elderly and encounters all kinds of nasty skin eating diseases, but this worried her.... lol never comforting ><

Generally you can feel an abcess in the mouth if you touch the area, swelling is usually the only visual though. I should have been clearer.

[Tossica]

Hand, foot, mouth disease. Have you been eating poop?

[Adivina]

Yes I love poop.



*disclaimer for those to stupid to get the joke: I really don't love poop*

[Darcler]

Not kidding, post your mouth.

[Tikker]

maybe it's time to stop chewing tobacco

[Arlos]

Have Aryy tested for flesh-eating bacteria in his semen that transmitted during a blow job?

-Arlos

[Tossica]

Flesh Eating Semen. Ha.

[Adivina]

Fucking horror movie shit right there.

Darc - If I could open my mouth enough to post pics without screaming in pain I would. I can try later on tonight, I can really open it a tiny bit without agonizing pain

[araby]

that sounds terrible, sorry you're having to go through that. keep us posted, of course and I hope they know something soon...and yah I hope you have something for pain

[Menlaan]

hahaha

[Gargamellow]

you are exactly right, maeya..it is the natural reaction to want to identify with someone that you want to console...sometimes it can piss people off, but it usually comes with the best of intentions

[vonkaar]

You are both fucking idiots.

Adivina you are complaining because Finawin is... what? Talking? He's bragging about working 80 hours a week for thirty fucking grand a year extra, in one of the most expensive states in the nation... and you are upset because he's planning on suddenly turning his clusterfuck of a life around and getting recognition? Good lord. He's just posting about his plans... don't get your panties twisted over 'talk'. Holy shit.

I applaud you for doing it the 'right' way, but why aren't you seeing the humor in his immediate reversal here? Six months ago, he would say that a degree was useless. But suddenly, college is free and wouldn't you know, it's... "oh my... maybe my life would improve if I wasn't limited by my welfare-child/crackhead/random_dropout_stigma02 G-E-D." Wow. You think? Way to come to this conclusion only after it was offered 'free of charge'. Yet... staying in highschool was 'easier'. I giggle.

Finawin got a GED. A Gee fucking E D. There is a reason why most of the nation laughs at this... why nobody... NOBODY hires anyone who quit school and grabbed their Good Enough Diploma at age 16. GED+degree? Sure. I hired a PHP programmer 2 months ago who had that... he's amazing. But he actually did it... he finished school. Up til now, Finawin hasn't done ANYTHING. He's cheering about $16.50... in Boston... omg, seriously.

So... Adivina, get pissed AFTER the fact. You stay in debt for 10 years and hate everyone who got a free ride through college. It's pointless to yell at people who 'talk' about their free ride, especially people with Harrison's stellar scholastic record.

Omg, Vonkaar is so mean. Why the hate?

Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" ran through my head during his "I had to raise 6 kids when I dropped out of high school at age 15 and I lifed in the ghetto of cambridge until I turned my life around and got my ged!" spiel. That, and I've listened to him bash higher education for, I don't know... 5 years? Now that it's free, he's ALL FOR IT. And yet he's calling 'us' out for taking the 'easy' way out. Puh lease.

I try to make these bi-monthly posts count.

I don't think you're mean but I do think you're wrong. Your negative outlook on people who earn their GED as opposed to a HS diploma is quite the opposite of at least one person (me) and I'm sure many people in this "nation" also do not laugh at such a person. You just made a really big generalization there.

[Gargamellow]

I dropped out at 16.

[mappatazee]

Harrison and Adi are both ok in my book! :hiphop:

Finawin, how does this make you feel, knowing mindia said it?

[Gargamellow]

I love em both as well.

[vonkaar]

Fine and dandy.

I'm an employer who has two applicants for a highly sought-after job. They both scored a '10' on my interview. They are equally qualified for the job and it simply comes down to education. One of them graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA, the other left 'for whatever reason' at age 16 and got their GED. Who do I hire?

Like I said, some 'equivalency graduates' get into 'life' and do well for themselves. The problem is... every school district in the area has an 'alternative' program for trouble-makers, crack-heads and other miscreants in which they can 'earn' their equivalency degree, separate from the 'normal' kids. I'm not saying that this is the average GED kid, but it's often the case. If you are going to go through life with no college degree, depending on >a< highschool diploma to get you by... cool. Good luck. But those people who think that there is no difference between a GED and the 'real' thing are blind.

And, yeah... 99% of the the people I meet who dropped out are total brain-dead losers. The ratio is a lot better for people who actually "made it" through high school. Maybe that's because I don't normally hang out with a gang of dropouts, so those that I do meet are usually pretty, well... Finawin. There is the occasional one-percenter who surprises me, and if he makes it through and actually gets an ENGINEERING degree, why... I'll eat my hat! Until then, he's lumped in with the remainder of the dropouts.
