Kelly's First Fillings!

So I went in and got my (first ever!!) two fillings in yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Took about half an hour for both. He did fast work. The shots hurt, though! I had to get five because I guess I'm hard to numb..

Now he says I need three root canals instead of two, though. Guhhh. My teeth hurt. Hurt hurt hurt. I need insurance. Insuranceeeee. Lots of health insurance. I want to be COVERED in health insurance. I want to be so covered in health insurance, that it seeps into my bloodstream and makes me automatically healthy.

Sigh.

This weekend will probably be uneventful. I'm going to apply for more jobs at places where I don't really want to work, and then Sunday I get to dogsit for my neighbors which I actually really enjoy. I love my neighbors' dogs. Heart heart heart.

Anyways.

Stay healthy. Brush at least twice a day and floss once a day. Flossing is so important. SO IMPORTANT. And umm. Get lots of fresh air. And don't put your fingers in your mouth. I rub my thumbnail against my lower lip when I'm nervous, and I need to stop that because it's probably going to give me the bubonic plague or something someday.

THREE ROOT CANALS? That's the sound of me FAINTING and hitting my head off the DESK and now needing FIVE ROOT CANALS. Tony Blair have mercy.

I don't trust my dentist. Either of them.

Alright kids, I didn't update about this, but I will now.
I went in to a new dentist on..Monday? Tuesday? Monday I think. Yes, Monday. Some guy in New Castle. Dunno. My uncle recommended him.

Keep in mind that the last dentist said that I have three cavities and four beginning (heaven have mercy, this is bad enough..my poor sweet teeth!).

But this new guy says: ELEVEN CAVITIES. And two need root canals. ROOT CANALS?
ROOT CANALS?!?!?!?!?!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

My insurance still runs out tomorrow, so I don't know what the eff I'm going to do. I'm going in so he can drill like two cavities (if he really drills them..). And I don't know what to think. Do I have eleven cavities with two needing root canals? Or is he just a sham? WHO IS THE SHAM DENTIST, GUYS? TELL ME. Someone is obviously lying!

So yes. I'm having a nervous breakdown. And I have to find work like so fast so I can get my teeth done before they all rot and fall out. Woe is me!

(But seriously guys, I'm freaked.)

And You Wondered How I Met So Many Hot Polish Guys..

While we're on the general topic of online chatting (before the dentistry, after the birthday), let's get into the topic of chat rooms. My history of using chat rooms is extensive. I don't know about you guys, but my first experience was back when I was about eight. We had AOL then (our first Internet provider EVER!) and I would always try to get into those "AOL KIDS" chats. They had the Nickelodeon ones and the "Gold" and "Silver" and "Soccer" and whatever ones..but they were always full. I mean always! I would stay up until 1am and try to get into a tennis one, and it would be full. Who would be up at 1am, seriously trying to chat about tennis? So I don't think that I ever actually got into any of the AOL chats, and I resorted to other sites.

Now that I'm older, I realize that these "other sites" are actually better. Better software, and better people. There's one in particular that I really like, as it has a really diverse population. wireclub.com is a really great place to go if you're looking to chat with people from other countries, and there even seem to be a lot of people from the USA as well. Just lots of people in general! That's always a good sign when it comes to chat rooms. (As long as they're not booked so full that you can't get in--AOL, take note!)

So, if you're looking for some free chat rooms--without waiting for a room to open--and you also like talking to a variety of people, then I suggest that you go to Wire Club. You won't regret it. (Seriously, there are some mega hotties on there! Who can resist?)

Ouch!

So I went to get my cavity filled..yeah, right!

I waited for over HALF AN HOUR and they finally called me back. I asked how long it would take, and what do they say? Two hours! For one friggin' cavity. I was like, "Uhhh. No." We're all guessing that he just wanted to get me out of there and go home early on a Friday, because he ushered me out really fast and gave me the number of some other guy. Apparently I'm going to have to be given laughing gas? Whatever.

They also said that it would take 45 minutes to numb me (?!). 45 minutes..to give me a shot and wait for it to set in? I'm thinking fifteen tops. So I didn't go through with it. No way I'm sitting there for two hours while he putters around in my mouth and spends 45 minutes with needles making me numb (maybe).

So yeah. Since my insurance runs out in a week, I probably won't be getting the work done by then, which sucks since I'm hurting now. Ugh! Hates it. I'm going to call around on Monday and see if anyone around here has openings. I don't really want to go to a random dentist, but I guess you have to do what you have to do..

We went to Clearview Mall today, too. I didn't buy anything, but it was fun just standing around for six hours while everyone else bought stuff. *face_palm*

Rayanne: I love that.
Everyone: ?
Rayanne: Kelly stands there and strikes a pose, puts her hand on her hip and her leg out in front of her. She always does that!
Lori: I guess she's been watching Paris Hilton too much..

Well, I try! :P

Dentist!

So I went to the dentist today. Nineteen years without cavities, and suddenly I get struck with the news that I have THREE cavities and FOUR developing. Eeep! Since my insurance runs out on the 31st, they realized that it's imperative that I get in soon. Soon like..tomorrow.

Dental Hygienist: Her insurance runs out on the 31st. Can we get her in before then?
Dentist: Yeah, she can come in tomorrow at 1:45.
DH: Yeah?
Dentist: Sure, we had that cancellation. Come in tomorrow at 1:45 *something about staying late and getting it done?*
DH: That work for you?
Kelly: Yes, it should.

Then as I'm walking out, he pokes his head around the corner:

Dentist: Come at 1, actually. The McDonalds girl will be here!

What does that even mean?! A note about my dentist, though: he's a total hottie. My mom says he's like two years younger than my dad..perfect! No but seriously, really cute. He has a great first name, too. Paaaauuuuullll. Okay, I'm done. So I have to go in tomorrow at 1 and get my first filling EVER.

Yes, I'm nervous. The only time I've ever had novocaine was when I had my wisdom teeth out, and I was under at that time..so I didn't feel any pain! I'm at a loss as to what to do!

In other news: I scored a job interview today. Monday at 2. Wish me luck, guys. If I bag this, I will not only have actual spending money, but I will probably have HEALTH INSURANCE!! HEALTH INSURANCE. And I won't have to worry about getting fillings tomorrow, I can get them in the future.

I also went to the mall today. I was looking to go to Regis to get my hair cut, but they were completely full. What the hell is that?! So we went to Target and I found ONE PAIR of white Keds-knock offs on discount for 3 bucks..IN MY SIZE. How fab is that? They're actually a half size under what I usually wear, but they fit perfectly (even a little big). I love it. I wanted some nice, white, conservative shoes for my job interview. That's hot.

Ughhh. Filling. Help help help help help. I don't know how long fillings take, or how much they hurt, or anything..*dies*

Just Say Hi

If you are like about ninety percent of my friends, you are into the free online dating scene. Okay, I won’t lie—I frequent some online dating sites, too. I have dealt with some weirdos, and I have also met some really nice people. Yes, I have gone on a few dates thanks to the Internet! But after awhile, even the best online dating sites start to get muddled up with either illiterate scam artists or married men (or possibly both). That’s why I like justsayhi.com. The people on this completely free dating site seem to genuinely want relationships; as in, they aren’t after scamming you.

I also noticed that the people on this website seem to be older. This is pleasing to me because it’s kind of weird to go on other dating sites and see personals for thirteen-year olds (posing as eighteen-year olds, of course). This also makes me happy because I am naturally compatible with older men!

I made a profile, and I am positive that it won’t take you long to find me if you look. I searched for guys in my area, and some hotties came up. Yes! As far as free dating sites go, I highly recommend Just Say Hi.

It's extremely rainy out. Flash floods galore!

Sad thing: I had a dream this morning that I had a migraine. Then I woke up at 6am, with a migraine! Don't you hate when that happens? I had to down four ibuprofen and lay completely still for two hours with cold compresses on my head before I could fall back asleep again..and by then, I was so stoked by the fact that the mail was coming soon, that I couldn't sleep. I love getting mail. I got four packages today. I ordered a bunch of stuff from Brylane (pillows and totes and whatnot) and got some of them. Plus some books I got from Amazon as kind of a birthday present to myself. :)

My mother and I were going to go scrapbooking today but it's wayyyyyy too rainy out. Homebound! SOS!

Birthday!

So today is my nineteenth birthday. I love it and I hate it..I'm nervous about the fact that I'm almost twenty (no longer a teenager), but I love birthdays in general. What to think?

My day so far has been pretty good. My grandfather came over and took us out to lunch at Eat 'n' Park. I got this new rosemary chicken stuff that was mediocre; parts of it were good but then some of it just had too many spices! I got a card and no money: he was also supposed to take my brother for a few days but my brother insisted on not going--ugh..

Now my mother and father are off to pick up my DQ ice cream cake. Loves it! I'm telling you, it's the one thing I look forward to as far as birthdays go. Presents are nice and all, but ice cream cakes are just brilliance. Last year I had one from King's Cones Castle (a local ice cream place) that normally has the best ice cream ever, but the cake was terrible. Don't mess with tradition! Dairy Queen only!

The weather is rainy and cold, like it always is on my birthday. This is because during the summer of '88, it was excruciatingly hot. Then the day I was born, it suddenly started pouring and it got really cold out. I'm a Godsend, obviously. Today's also National Aviation Day, which I think is amazing considering my obsession with planes and flying.

I also had a brilliant dream last night that there was an ad in the classifieds section of the Butler Eagle. It was from PBG, and they said that they filled up the position that they had been advertising, and that the new employee was some state representative. I was relieved because the job was not in Butler, but actually far away. Most of you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but it was a good dream.

Presents?

My Fitness Pal (or, will I regret the ice cream cake?)

So anyways, my birthday is tomorrow. Since I have an extremely extravagant party planned, involving lots of food and probably minimal movement (because who wants to dance when there's so much ice cream cake that needs to be consumed?), I can foresee myself needing to start a diet on the 20th.

Maybe the 21st. I mean, it depends on how much cake is left over, y'know?

Getting back on track--being a broke college student, I obviously can't join some website where I pay $30 a month just to chat on a message board about how much I hate exercising. I'm going to take my normal route of "tracking calories and exercise and using pictures of Angelina Jolie pre-anorexia to motivate myself." That's where My Fitness Pal comes in. It can't talk to me, but it can do the next best: it'll use its calorie counter to keep me in check regarding how many more Swedish Fish I can have each day. Not sure whether to use low-fat cream cheese or faux-butter on your bagel for breakfast? Use My Fitness Pal to look up the calories in food and put your mind at ease.

So basically, by bribing myself to do Tae Bo with Billy Blanks for half an hour per day, and using the calorie chart at MFP, I will be able to take off that Birthday 15 and do it effortlessly (and for free) in the process. Brilliance.

So, my birthday is in three days. I'll be nineteen! I know, I'm scared too. I bought myself a few books on Amazon. All stuff about WWII, so I know you're interested. :)

My father said that a few days ago, around 7am, he was sitting on the back porch. Apparently, a crane (maybe a blue heron) flew down and perched on the side of our pool. This is fascinating to me. Do I believe him? I think I do.

Now I have to stay up all night to see if it comes back! Pictures will surface, I promise this.

You scored as Romanticist, Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society.

How can I be a romanticist AND a modernist? Perplexing..
I mostly agree, though. I am, after all, living in the 1940s. Men were just better back then! Bring back the slicked hair and Luftwaffe aces!

Shopping at Grove City

I went shopping with my family at Grove City's Prime Outlets on Thursday. They have fantastic bargains there! I bought:

o Sunglasses and two pairs of flip-flops from Old Navy
o Two shirts from Gap
o Undergarments from Playtex
o Two books (Life's WWII and a book about Fighter Pilots) from Borders
o Dog yogurt bars from this gourmet dog treat stand in the middle of the food court (yum!)

So yeah, I'm happy. I love my shirts. One is yellow with "GAP San Francisco" and the other is white and beige striped. Loves loves loves. Everything was a great deal. Now I need more money..

I found this website where they apparently launch your name into space. I put myself down as Kelly Malinski-Santorum. Teeeeee!

My life has been hectic lately. Drama!
