Times Up

I have always been a pretty dedicated Xanga user. I have always tried to chip in what I can, be premium and stuff, comment, and red, etc. Some of you know that a couple of months ago I had to get 3 fillings and I am still paying off the dental bill. I have been running on premium plus for the last year on here but it is almost expired. Usually if I didn't have to pay my last payment of $125 next month I would just buy another year, but Ii don't think I am going to be able to this time. I might just have to do the 6 month one this time. I really hate being short on money, it really does suck. Last month I got below a dollar. I didn't overdraw, but it got that low, it was insane.

The weekend was pretty boring, and even today nothing really that interesting happened. I've just been talking to friends and stuff. I spent a lot of time just doing homework, playing Destiny Online, and just random stuff that isn't worth mentioning.  Sunday was Stake conference, it's when all the wards in one stake (mormon vocab yay!) get together and have a big 2 hour meeting instead of the usual 3 hour block. It usually happens earlier than usual too, like around 10am. Different wards go to church at different times. It changes for everyone every year. Stake conference is like a sacrament meeting, only it's 2 hours long ad we don't take the sacrament.

Anyway, so as much as I hate to end it here, my brain is just totally shorting out. I'll make sure to write tomorrow. :)

Three Fillings

So today I went to the dentist an hour after I woke up. I went to the dentist 2 months ago and he said that I was going to need 3 fillings. I left around 9:30am, and headed over to the office with my mom. I only had to wait for 5 minutes. My dentist is the best, he is a real pro at what he does. I have had Dr. Perry for as long as I can remember. I sat down on the chair and they gave me the laughing gas that makes you all relaxed, and kind of tired, and it makes you feel kind of floaty. I love laughing gas it is great. I waited for about 10 minutes and then they gave me the numbing shots. They then left me there for another few minutes so it could take effect. I got 3 shots, 2 on the left, one on the right.  After a few minutes they did the drilling and the fillings and stuff. It didn't hurt at all, the drill vibrated, but I didn't feel any pain at all. I was feeling pretty funky right about then because of the gas. They also put on the TV for me. I was watching Disney Channel.

Afterward when they were done they let me sit there for a few minutes to let the gas wear off. They actually let me pick a toy out of the toy box also. I wasn't really planning on picking anything, I just wanted to look. I ended up picking the thing below though.

 

When I got home I just watched the Olympics for a while and slept and just chilled for a while on the couch. I didn't feel like doing anything for a few hours. I was pretty tired and a little grumpy.

Later today after I did that I got on my computer and started playing around with this screen recorder called Screencast O Matic.  I really like it and I have started using that instead of CamStudio.  I actually am going to be starting a web series on YouTube talking about my vision and how it effects my life. I'll have stuff like stories, pictures, stuff like that. I actually put up the introduction video earlier. I won't have the first official part up until tomorrow or the next day though.

You will notice I use my nickname on my channel and not my real name.

I might eventually make it into a podcast if it goes well, but I need to get a better name for it and stuff first.

I have actually edited a couple pictures to show what my vision is like through my eyes. The pictures below are very very close to what I actually see. I will be making more in the future.

I watched the Olympics and played game on my phone for the rest of the day. I loved watching the diving and the gymnastics. I have noticed though over the past few days that people are messing up a lot more than usual. I love watching the running, gymnastics, and the water sports the most. Those are my favorite events in the Olympics. I'm more of a Ryan Lockdee fan, than a Phelps fan though. I don't really have any favorites yet in the other sports besides swimming.

I guess that is all for today.
