Hemorrhoids
hemorrhoids, please god no i cant even cough without pain go away

[Castile]

I really want to get a tattoo...But needles scare the crap out of me, they just fill me with such an overpowering "Flight" response. My BF has a few tattoo's and I'd love to get one...
I'd love to get a tribal style Flygon, tribal fox and tribal water dragon tattoo. As nice as ones are with color, the colors tend to fade over time, where as something all black would still look uniformly good over the years.

Stupid flight response...

Yeah I really want one too but me and pain ergh...I was thinking after I have children since nothing hurts more than childbirth right?

I think I'm the only person on earth who's not scared of needles. I used to be, until I got stung in the foot by a deadly fish on holiday once and the pain was so unbearable that a needle going into the bottom of my foot felt like relief more than anything else. Since then I haven't been fussed with needles. Blood, on the other hand...

In other news...

I found something on eBay. Something I really... really want. Like I can't stop thinking about it. I hate auctions. I hate bidding. I panic so much and end up over spending but that's the problem. This thing is worth a good bit, I wouldn't be surprised to see it going for £70+. I have roughly £50 in my PayPal account and those trading card collections I thought about selling some time ago? Yeah, I'm trying desperately to sell them right now. If they sell that'll be an extra £200 or so and I really, really want this thing. I know I'm probably not going to win. Someone's going to snipe me by a long shot at the last second. And it's pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime auction too. I suppose I could commission one but no one *ever* seems to open their commission slots and... urg. I hate that 'want it need it' feeling. It nags at me and I end up just feeling spoiled. Sure, I sell some old things I don't want anymore and buy things I want with that money, so it's my own earned money really, but I can't help that feeling of 'I'm spending for the sake of spending'. I hate being a collector sometimes. It keeps me busy and entertained and quite happy but sometimes the cost of it all and I just... urg.

I'm hate needles as much as the next guy but getting a tattoo isn't all that bad it feels like sandpaper going on your skin I have a horse and want more when I can afford them.

[Rhyela]

I actually don't hate or fear needles, believe it or not. But I can't watch them stick my arm when I donate blood. The sight of it actually entering my flesh makes me woozy, but the pain and all that are nothin'.

I have a tattoo, and I would say that it was more annoying than painful. The itch that came when it started healing was WAAAY worse than the tattoo itself.

Just out of curiosity, what is it??

[Mozag]

Actually, I love needles. I was always worried that I'd end up doing heroin or something because I'm so drawn to them, but managed to make sure I stayed away from all illegal drugs, just so I'd never be tempted. I love having blood tests done especially, because I really enjoy watching the needle going in, and the dark red blood gushing into the tubes. It's a surreal experience, seeing my own blood outside of my body like that. I have five tattoos and haven't managed to afford more for years, sadly, but I hope to continue if and when my life's economical situation stabilizes, if ever. Still, Cubs is right, it doesn't feel like a needle at all, and some parts of the body don't hurt even the slightest. I almost fell asleep when the one on my upper right arm was being done. My mother told me all those years ago that I'd regret my tattoos, but it's been over ten years since my first one, and I haven't. So, what I'm saying is, if you find something you truly connect with or like for the aesthetics - go for it!

The rant I've been wanting to express for a while now is political, so I don't want to delve into it. But oh Ukraine, what a situation. *shakes head*

My mother was only against it when I was younger, which is understandable but I didn't really want one back then anyway. I'm nearly 22 and so it's now my life and my decisions and I'm more than old enough. Yesterday, I posted a Suicune design on Facebook that I said would look great as a tattoo and she was all like 'go for it!' I couldn't believe it. xD She knows how much Pokémon means to me. I swear it's kept me sane for a number of years now. It's literally stress relief for me and it's a huge part of my life. I used to say it was a huge part of my childhood since I loved it just as much when I was about 10 years old and I had an 'off' period where I didn't play any of the new games for a while, but when Black & White came out I got dragged back into it and now I'm a huge child again. Pokémon Crystal was probably my most played game and Suicune always seemed like it was important to me somehow. I never really understood it. Suicune's always been a favourite of mine though.

So my mother's telling me to go for it, my friends are telling me to go for it, problem is just my fiancé. He's told me he'd support it if I really wanted one but he won't be able to help 'finding it silly' which probably makes me more angry than anything else. :/ It's not silly. If it's important to me, it's important to me, it's not silly at all. I can't seem to make him change his mind either, he's very opinionated sometimes...

[Nachtwulf]

I'm inclined to tell him to stuff it and in no uncertain terms. It's not silly, it's personal expression, and if he thinks you expressing yourself is 'silly' then maybe it's time to find another boyfriend who isn't so disrespectful and dismissive of one's feelings.

Also, as to the needle thing... I at least didn't look at the gun as being a 'needle' at all. It looks more like an airbrush; the needle part barely sticks out of the end by a quarter inch so you don't get that 'OMFG NEEDLE' response like you would when getting a shot or drawing blood.

I wouldn't call it sandpaper, though. It's more like one of those tiny blowtorches people use to light cigars. XD But then, I got a couple of big ones on my back and they burned like fire. And took forever. BUT. I suppose if you get one on your forearm or something, it wouldn't be nearly so bad. Really the worst part is about four days later when it starts to heal and it itches like nothing you've ever experienced before. Urg, the itching is the -worst-... and you can't scratch it...

Uh. He's not my boyfriend. He's my *fiancé*. We've been together four years. I'm not going to leave him because of his difference in opinion over tattoos. .___. Sorry but... yeah. I know you probably didn't mean anything bad by it but you don't exactly know the whole story here, I'm probably making it sound worse than it is, but nor should I be told by someone over the internet to leave my fiancé because he's apparently 'disrespectful' and 'dismissive' of my opinions now. Which... he isn't? In that slightest? I like the idea of getting a tattoo, he doesn't, that's literally all there is to it.

Ahem. Really though, I'm making it sound worse than it is. He finds it 'silly' because, well, he's kinda right in that no one *needs* to have anything permanently engraved on to their skin. He completely understands my passion over Pokémon and loves me for it too. But having a tattoo is ultimately a life changing decision. It's something we *both* need to have a think about, but I still would need plenty of time to save and find a good artist even after I'm 100% settled on what I want! It just isn't really that simple, especially for someone who's never had a tattoo before.

In other news, omg I forgot how I shouldn't take breaks from swimming. I started again today and OMG MY MUSCLES I'M DYING. Early bed time. Dying. Omg. x___x

So first the dash for Petopia forums goes cray cray for me making me change the board style to one I hate then Facebook's goes wonky too and now Tumblr's dash is doing the same thing >:( But it's only happening to my Desktop so it must be something to do with it I'd assume.

Stupid first world issues.

[Makoes]

Oh sure, the one time I decide not to hold onto packaging for 10 years and I need a PIN from it for a promo...Hopefully the concept of "I moved and downsized" helps on this support ticket...T.T

I wish my friends could find more to do together as a group. I mean I don't mind that they do the pen and paper RPG thing every Saturday but I'm not interested in that, especially given that it's Star Wars, I have zero interest in Star Wars. And they do it for like 6-7 hours at a time and I'd get so bored and impatient so fast. But I feel so left out. :/ Pretty much all my friends and my fiancé (who's the DM) play it every single Saturday, there's only one of my friends who doesn't and even then she's thinking about joining. Sure it gives me time to myself on a Saturday but I don't really like being alone much, I get so unproductive and I end up just... sitting here all day. And when I mention doing something else as well they all just tell me I should join in. I don't want to, I tried it once before, it bores me to death. I feel bad cause it's one of my fiancé's favourite things and I have little to no interest in it at all. :/

So last night at my mates "no more studying for my Masters degree" BBQ me and two of my mates where dared into eating the 2nd hottest chillie in the world.

HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE DK ON A REALM I FEEL SO STUPID

[Iowawolf]

An old friend came on after being gone for some time and saw they were kicked from what is my old guild so being the nice guy I am I invited them to join mine they accepted brought all their guys there also but then decided to go back to the old one which is fine with me I did my share of guild hopping in my day before joining the one I am in now. So I was again being nice and running them through a dungeon when the GM of my old guild messaged me telling me she is quote unquote back home and that I was telling lies to her and he was going to report me to my guild leader for lying. I was like what the fuck ever just cause you believe those who found a better guild with no fucking drama are lying when it is your ass who is lying. I was a high ranking member when I left so I know all the shit that went on there and in no terms do I fucking ever bash them nor ever talk bout them to anyone else. Most of my guild are made up of former members and I have heard this guy doesn't like my guild cause of something from way back which I will not get into. Just pisses me off how someone who doesn't even know me except from a game can say shit like that if they don't like the guild I am in that's fine don't drag me into your petty war. I hope this friend enjoys the guild and getting shit on when she could've been in a great drama free guild where we fucking respect each other.

I can't tell if the lump under my collar bone grew or not. It's actively hurting my upper left side and down my arm into my fingers but it's that dull nerve pinch kinda feeling. It's like you're starting to go numb but only just. I had this lump some months ago and it went away on its own. It was also not hard (solid hard like a tumor) and it was in the exact same spot with the exact same effects on my upper left side as I'm feeling right now.

It's been about 3 days since the pain started, 2 with the lump, ultrasound isn't till the 22nd and I can't tell if I'm just going crazy or if this thing's getting, at a snails pace so you don't really notice any difference, worse. I can't tell if its soft or hard either to know if its just another fat blog or w/e or a muscle knot or something else.

Not paranoid or anything, I'm just really tired of this constant pain that extra strength tylenol, rubbing alchohol, a535, hot showers/baths, hot water bottle, and light massaging cant do away with. I've literally done all of those to try and help settle it but nope it wont stop. But its not at the point where I actually do believe I should get it looked at by the hospital. I'm not in any trouble atm so I'd rather they focus on patients who could use it. If the numbness or pain increases, or if this thing does grow, I will go get it looked at before my ultrasound.

Just ugh I want to cut my arm off with a hacksaw. Sleeping is a bitch cause when you wake up you're in so much friggin pain from throwing your arm every which way while sleeping, stretching and compressing the damn thing.
