It's funny. I'm 37 years old, and in the land of free healthcare, I've never had the opportunity of seeing a gynecologist. Well never that is, until today. They're almost impossible to find, and you need a referral. Today I had my first examination by a REAL gynecologist (as opposed to a gp), and let me tell you there is a world of difference in...

Blargh. Can't sleep and having my usual Monday morning neurotic episode. I called surly, and I'm pretty sure I must have woke him up. No one answered, but I don't know why I thought he'd be up at 4 am.
The sun's rising and there's a tiny sliver of a moon floating beside the apartment building across the street.

You need to join the Nocturnal group. There's always somebody up who's posting some sort of lunacy that makes me feel better about my insomnia. 
Sleep is strange for me. I can ALWAYS fall asleep, but it's the STAYING asleep that escapes me. I'm constantly waking up and thinking of things I should have done, making mental lists, worrying about this or that. It's maddening sometimes.
Here's to better nights and pleasant dreams.

Isn't everyone up at 4AM? They should be, damnit. Actually, you know what I've always thought we needed was 24 hour book stores. Then people like me (and apparently, you) would have someplace to go in the middle of the night.

I plowed through some bureacracy this morning, then emailed my lawyer. As I was reading the New York Times afterwards, something caught my eye which made me smile.

Factotum does look good - it's waiting on my Netflix queue...
nice - for seeing Mojo Nixon!
boo - for not downloading that album!
sounds like you couldn't have played it anyway, though. i'll see what i can do for you - this time, make sure you get it within a week, cuz the download becomes inactive after 7 days...

I haven't been online much, but I've been meaning to get on here and thank you for the card. I can't wait untill your back in town. We will throw a party for you, unless you prefer a little shindig.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm feeling uncharacteristically optimistic the past couple days. I think I've turned the corner on one aspect of my life which was causing me a lot of pain and worry. It's funny how when you choose to deal with something that seems hard, that once you've started, it gets easier.

If anyone noticed I went grey for about 3 hours. A long time ago Aaronsrod gave me a free membership. As my membership was up yesterday, I decided I should finally use it up. Thanks very much sweetie.
I've got a lot of bureaucratic interaction on my agenda for this week. Wish me luck.

So it's the usual weekend stuff: cleaning, organizing, procrastinating.
I took out the waist high pile of recycling from under my kitchen counter and turned to dealing with the kitchen garbage. There was 2 inches of liquid brown uck in the bottom of the garbage can. I nearly puked while dumping it down my toilet (which had to be cleaned after). A few minutes of...

That sounds completely gross. 
The mouth guard thing is pretty funny though... I have a CPAP machine, it makes me feel like Darth Vader.

I'm not sure I'd try to do anything with an earwig that big. Except stay away from it.
Yesterday I went my first day in remembered history without coffee. Stomach/chest still feels a little tricky. I made some weak coffee today. I'm not sure if I'll drink it.
I watched Rockstar Supernova last night and thoroughly enjoyed these performances:
Magni
Lukas Rossi
I think it's a tossup on who will get the encore tonight.

I agree with you about assessing the lay of the land before you plunder it. I think it is essential to to garner the inclination, the movement, and the scent of a body before considering entangling with it.
You put it so much better than I did!
Are you trying to quit caffeine or something?
Some time ago, I cut down to two cups a day and have found it pretty easy to stick with that. If only I could say the same for booze. And cigarettes.
I want to know what the 'YouTube' button does...
*press*
Hmm... what the fuck is YouTube?

hey you - here's hoping that
A: you can download a large file like this, and
B: that you can play iTunes m4a files.
if either of those assumptions turns out incorrect, let me know, and i'll try something else. but here is my favorite RHP record - click the picture!

This morning at around 5:30, I had an acid reflux attack so severe that I went white and almost fainted. My mom, who's been visiting, took my pulse and it was all thready. We called 911 thinking it was a heart attack. The pain stopped shortly after, which doesn't normally happen.

That does suck... goddamn GERD. I feel your pain, definitely. And yes, embarrassing and a drag, but *so* much better than a heart attack!! Do you take anything like Prilosec? That's really helped me.

Gah, now that I'm trying to find mp3s to load onto the iPod for my sister's wedding night, I can't think of ANYTHING. Any suggestions? Bear in mind the soon-to-be-wedded couple are both christians so it's got to be tasteful and romantic. She loves classical music.

I'm the Maid of Honour for my sister's wedding at the end of October. Today I met with the other bridesmaid to discuss our plans for my sister's bridal lingerie shower and gift baskets I'm arranging for her bridal suite. I wasn't looking forward to meeting to discuss all this stuff but it was actually kinda fun. It was nice hanging out with my future...

It's sort of funny, I went to my parents company BBQ last weekend, and amazingly, even though neither of my parents are really thrilled with the idea of me fighting. pretty much everyone who works for them knew and the ones who knew me from back when I was a wee one were surprised to say the least. For whatever reason, they never figured me for the cage-fighting type.
wow I just read your journal entry, and I think I am going to need photos so as to reference what you are eluding to about being abnormal, I am an amateur gynecologist myself, I don't know all that much about it but am happy to take a look at it for you any time and for free.
There great when you can get them. I must admit though I think the referral thing is a scam for money. I went to a foot specialist once since the gp couldn't solve the problem, and found out the foot women received 35 dollars for the referral on top of her normal billing, while the gp got 25 bucks for doing up the form.
I'm just glad it worked out for you
