When your brother asks to read your fanfic and other horrors

[misscam]

Remind me to never ever again let a dentist convince me to have a wisdom tooth out. Ow with the ow with the ow. I thought he was gonna pull my sodding jaw off there a moment. And now it aches and my mouth tastes like blood and lovely, really. It's also that time of the month and I feel like a miserable sod, basically. LOVE ME

And speaking of miserable sods... Prime example

Oh, Phelps-spawns of the world, SHUT IT already. Being too right-winged and batshit for even Fox is not a good sign.

Ehehehehe (The rest of that wank is rather funny too. Shipping, people. Fucking serious business.)

This wank got a bit interesting as well. I've always assumed it's rather common courtesy to ask before you archive, but the Internet always has a person of the opposite opinion somewhere, whatever the opinion.

Moment of doom: Brother IMs me and asks to read a fanfic of mine. Oi. Also asked that it wasn't "not too sappy", and I got to wondering if I wrote anything *but* sap (as judged by a male, even if it is a male who likes Pride and Prejudice). Ended up giving him the file with Arthur Miller's Wrong, as it was the only I could think of rather sap-less then and there. He knows CSI, and not Doctor Who yet, though he made vaguely threatning noises about reading my stuff after he's seen it this summer.

I'm so dead.

But aside from that, we had a lovely chat. My brother and I are fairly close, and get along splendidly, which is nice. I've decided to share some of the money I'm getting with him, but I'm still pondering how much. (Me and bro.)

And yes, I owe five drabbles, but my mind got all focused on a fic and I've written 5000 words and am feeling the urge to finish it first. You'll have to forgive me :P

*wanders back to being a writing, miserable sod*

*big hugs*
Dentists are evil creatures that should be exterminated. Well, at least ones that cause pain and suffering.
*gets out dalek*
EXTERMINATE!!!
*more big hugs*

Heh. They are just doing their jobs, poor people. And he was very apologetic about the mess of it all. I'm just annoyed because I didn't as such need to yank it, it was just better that way, and it turned out to cling on more than expected.

Bloody tooth. I hope it rots.

Thanks, anyhoo.

[sparklechick268.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm just kind of bias in the 'all dentists are evil' thing. I've had quite a few bad experiences myself, and are convinced they're all vampires out for blood.

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAH. HAHAHAH. HA.

I'm getting my own wisdom-tooth stitches out this weekend. My face on that side has been all swollen for the last four days; I've had a constant earache to add variety to the horrendous pain in my jawbone. Two nights ago I attempted to eat pasta and ended up actually crying with pain, and I, Miss Cam, am very good with pain. I suggest you stock up on soup, jelly, pain medication and the kind of gum ointment that contains cocaine as a main ingredient. And do not, under any circumstances, attempt to eat solid food. It's so not worth it.

Phelps can go bugger himself. He is the one that is going to hell and be tormented for all eternity and I hope satan shows a pitchfork up his ass.

*sympathises*

[sessifet25.livejournal.com]

Had to go through the whole messy business two times, and the third is on its way. But hey, at least you have an excuse to eat lots and lots of icecream. Well, popsicles at least.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

I had all four of mine (wisdom teeth) taken out about 3 years ago because they were starting to come in and it hurt like a bee-otch. That and they were impacted. I looked like a chipmunk for at least 5 days after that. Thank God for frozen peas.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, he certainly had mine.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You pain a bleak picture of the future. Woe. Good thing I like soup.

Also, my deep, deep sympathies, for I shall feel your pain.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the kind of God that would let him into a heaven would not be one I'd want to worship.

Re: *sympathises*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Owie. Once will do for me, I think.

Thanks. Ice cream feels good. I feel I've earned it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Cripes, everyone has wisdom teeth horror stories. The world sure is a painful place to us all.

[avonassac.livejournal.com]

I got 2 of my wisdom teeth removed about a year ago, but when I went for my six month checkup two weeks ago, they grew back 0.o I guess when they took them out the first time, they didn't get the roots or something. But yes, I just had a consultation for oral surgery and now I get to have four of them removed in two weeks. I hate teeth.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I possess no wisdom teeth. I do not know if this makes me weird or not.

[wendymr.livejournal.com]

I had all four wisdom teeth out under general anaesthetic about seventeen years ago, because they were impacted. I don't remember anything about the operation itself, but the week following it was agony. :( It was my first year in a new country and I lived alone in a horrible flat - thankfully, some relatives scooped me off for a few days to convalesce, and fed me liquidised food and soup, which was all I could eat. Ick. Never want to do that again.

But I can't imagine having one yanked out while awake - argh!! Hope you're feeling better soon! First root canal then wisdom teeth - you're having bad luck with dentists lately. :(

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

Mine never showed up either.

[yattara.livejournal.com]

*still has all her wisdom teeth.*

And after reading this, I hope to keep them. Last time I had a tooth pulled was bad enough, and that was over ten years ago.

Feel better soon, Cam!

Ouch, shippers make my head hurt sometimes.

[belegcuthalion.livejournal.com]

Poor dear. LOVES YOU.

[mahala.livejournal.com]

Gah -- ouch!

When will we just evolve out of wisdom teeth altogether?

Hope you feel better soon.

[mthespinner.livejournal.com]

Note to self: do not click on "phelps" when recovering from stomach virus...so not good.


Still have one wisdom tooth left-but the other three were buggers!

[ryanadamsgirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think God would fucking kill Phelps and his brain washed followers. Such douchebaggery so early in the morning makes me want to vomit. I would love to tie those people down and make them sit through my Catholic mass with my gay priest.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Ouch, ouch, OUCH.

Wisdom teeth are evil, as I know, and mine weren't even yanked out, but only surgically removed.

So... *BIG hugs, tea and sympathy*

[all_at_once.livejournal.com]

Ouch. I feel your pain. I had a tooth pulled about a year ago and I could feel everything, even though the dentist said he'd used the novocaine. I was like, dude, I can feel the pulling and he just looks at me like I'm insane or something...hurt like hell.

I hate teeth.

Here's wishing you lots of ice cream and popsicles. Hope you feel better. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know. My teeth are getting even at me for a lifetime of chocolate. Bastards!

Ah well, so far pain killers are helping, but I haven't tried to eat yet. Ugh. That ought to be fun, except not and all.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Teeth pulling is never fun, regardless. Ugh.

And I shall try to.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

heh, after about the first day or so I was able to function a little bit. They put me on Oxycodone. Wonderful stuff, but you'd never be able to sleep. 5 days after I had them out (Superbowl Sunday) I went to the Aquarium with my brother and a neighbor and nearly passed out. I just got so tired walking around. . .but then I had a caffinated soda and felt better. But what was I thinking? LOL!

[anamin.livejournal.com]

OMG! I didn't know they could come back! So not going through that again. . . I'm sorry for you.

[sliven.livejournal.com]

*checks out video*

...

Eeeew! That disgusting woman!
What a sad excuse of an human being!!!
And that creepy, creepy smile! Eeeek!

...now that I got that out of my system; ow, ow, wisdom-teeth. Never a fun story, either. *hugs*

[mittendorfer.livejournal.com]

Ouchie and ouchie. I hated having my first wisdom tooth out - my ex was also my Dentist at the time, and yes he charged full price for the procedure skinflint.

Did you get the familiar 'instant wave of mortification' when a family member asks to read you fic (similar to when you are reading fic and your significant other creeps up and reads it over your shoulder)?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bubamara_/]

Ouch! I don't want to scare you, but since I had my wisdom teeth pulled, my jaw makes freaky cracking noises when I open my mouth too much. I guess it was all that yanking that screwed it up.
And sometimes I'm left with my mouth open, which prompts me to move my arms around frantically until I can close it. (Of course, my coworkers think this is hilarious.)

Hope you feel better soon. (And may you have a fully functional jaw!)

[puredeadthingy.livejournal.com]

A post that long, and all you can think about is that her brother has a nice nose? *tsks at self*

Phelps is an asshole beyond all imagination. Seriously, I live WAYYY too close to that impotent mo-fo. Like, 3 hours away. Makes me very angry, and I consider myself more conservative than most my age.

And the dentist thing does not make me happy... I have to get all my wisdom teeth, second molars, and another random tooth cut out because they told me my mouth was too small.

My mom just laughed and told them, "Too small? She never shuts up!"

[antistar-e.livejournal.com]

O.o Aeiie. And that is why me and my mother never go to the dentist.

Okay, I've heard the name all over the place, and now's a good a time to ask as any, but who's Phelps? *insert blink of the ignorant here*

[avonassac.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, they come back and boy do they ever let you know they've returned. *rubs mouth*

I don't think I'm going to get it done in the hospital this time though - perhaps I'll just stay at the oral surgery office or something. They give you ice cream :) The hospital didn't.. said I was too old or something, pfft.

[siraj.livejournal.com]

*offers chocolate, fudge, and a plushie Ten in sympathy* I'm working on the lutefisk smacking of Phelps...

Oh, that first link starts to open, then closes all my browser windows... any idea why?

[aurelei.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeegh. That time of the month for me too, and I feel your pain...

[nenya_kanadka]

LOVES YOU!

My brothers so don't get my fandom involvement. They don't even get me watching SF television, except possibly ST:Voyager once in a blue moon. They probably watch CSI though. And sister is joined at the hip with me when it comes to fandom. :)

*gentle snuggles, avoiding pain-fraught areas*

[kittycatness.livejournal.com]

My sister and a couple of my friends have had theirs out. Owie. -sends love-

I used to let my dad read my fic. That will never happen. Nor will he ever read any of my original shite. (Because it's all shite.)

Would you be terribly upset with me if I said that your brother is attractive? Because if that would make you terribly upset with me, I won't say it.
