Sorry for not posting earlier today. Had a really exhausting weekend and slept in late this morning. Only got back from work two hours ago and have been working on one of three essays that are due soon since. Because it's already almost midnight here, I'll just post in the morning tomorrow. ^^; My post would just consist of Amy mumbling and running along anyway, so I'll just add a small detail on that next round.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend!

That sucks re: doctors :s You know what's really freaky? I heard that cosmetic surgery clinics in South Korea are usually much safer than in the U.S., but there's a problem occasionally with "doctor switching" where you pay for the good, expensive doctor but as soon as you go under they switch out the doctor for... well, a doctor you didn't pay for. D|

That is really freaky and unnerving. For some reason it reminds me a little of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance shenanigans... >w>; Is cosmetic surgery big in South Korea? I'd kind of imagine it is?

Booked an appointment with the doctor. Their next earliest available opportunity was on the 28th. Sigh. I remember the days you could book an appointment and go there in the same afternoon. Lames.

|D Rex @ Pixie Lott love <3 Best of luck on your essays and homework!! Make sure you get sleep though ;A;

Yup, it's pretty big over there, I hear that as soon as you get off the subway there are billboards and advertisements all over for clinics. It doesn't have quite the same negative connotation in the West though (it does and it doesn't), especially since it's not called "plastic" surgery, I forget what the word is but it implies something closer to transformation. The beauty standards can be ridiculous and surgery is sort of common-ish (it isn't uncommon at all for k-pop stars get a combination of eye+nose surgery before they start their careers, even Leo has) but there's a term for people who go too far called "plastic surgery monster". o_o The worst thing is that at least with women, some kind of start to blend together after a while? Like the equivalent of copy+pasting faces on people D: There's actually supposed to be a Korean show starting soon (maybe it already did?) where they help people who want to go back to looking the way they did before they had surgery. Although... that requires more surgery... ._.

What are you seeing a doctor for exactly? That reminds me, I should be getting my blood test results back later today. And the clothes I ordered a month ago should be delivered today too. *w*

Good luck with your essays, Rex!

I feel like playing classic Ragnarok Online for some reason... But only if it works on my netbook =3= I'm just killing time until I have enough money to spare to renew my FF14 subscription, haha... (Edit: I've been playing Tiny Dice Dungeon like crazy on my phone, too!)

Good luck with those essays, Rex (^w^)/

Doctor switching sounds scary O__O once I read this thing (not sure if it was an article) about a guy who became a plastic surgeon so he could ruin lives. He messes up people's faces for fun and then goes into hiding and then does it all over again somewhere else.

I shall go work on a post.

Edit: Posted (^w^)/

Trust Fox to have a story that make things even more creepier for everything... D8

But that sounds really interesting, and also kind of a shame in how much pressure and demand there is from media and society etc to be 'beautiful' and 'perfect'. Especially when everyone's beautiful and perfect to begin with. :S The 'identical faces' problem is really interesting and sad too, and something I can definitely imagine happens. :S That show sounds really cool, if you find out what it's called and find subs for it, I'd be interested in watching it. :)

I have a problem with my nose in the sense that it's continually blocked and I have extreme trouble breathing through it. It's not normally a big problem during the day, but it's an absolute pain when I'm sleeping since it forces my body to breathe through my mouth which leads to waking up with a dry and unpleasant mouth, not to mention stinging headaches from pressure clogged up inbetween my eyes, etc. I actually had surgery done a couple of years ago hoping to fix it, but it's not done a lot of good. Well, things improved a little bit afterwards, although I wouldn't say it ever felt perfect or back to normal, but recently it's just gotten worse and worse. I wonder if I might have a nasal polyp, I don't know, but it needs to get sorted >:c

Best of luck with your blood test results, and I hope your clothes come! What did you order? 8D

I've always been kind of interested in Ragnarok Online but never played it. XD I love the artstyle though, I might have to give it another look. And I'd play FF14 as well except I'm still playing FFX atm and... I'm still unsure what to think of it, lol It's fun enough that I'm still playing it but ugggggh the story and characters and japanese mannerism cliches... D| Damnit when is my Steam version of Trails coming out ;A;

Tiny Dice Dungeon reminds me of Half Minute Hero. I think you'd like that, Tae. XD

Oh, Danni! New Guardians of the Galaxy trailer expected to drop later today! 8D

And I don't know if you knew, Tae, but Batista is one of the main characters 8D

Posted!

Fox came up with a really neat idea in her last post that people are welcome to utilise in their own, and that's the environment shifting and changing to obstruct our characters. Everyone is also welcome to utilise the bosses in their posts too in whatever way they like. Kathi, Kei, if you guys have any questions regarding the bosses since I know you guys weren't here when the Pride originally fought them, I'm welcome to answer any queries. :) The main goal for this current setup is to run for the tower and survive whilst being hounded, all the whilst things getting worse and worse and more and more desperate. :) MUAHAHAHA.

Thanks for the good lucks, everyone! ;A; I have to take my puppy to a vet appointment this morning (for shots), then soon as I get back I'll get a post up.

Pacman omg I remember when you got that surgery and... barely anything got fixed. I was so upset with your docs >:c

EDIT: orz... I'm really creatively drained atm and unsatisfied with everything I've written for a post so far. I'll come back to post later tonight during a break from my history essay. :[

I do think plastic surgery is fascinating sometimes, although for the same reason I don't even dye my hair, I'm just too afraid of messing with anything, lol. |D I changed my attitude a bit on plastic surgery since I've seen how subtle and natural it can be, and I had a friend who really wants to get it someday because "everyone is beautiful/perfect just the way they are" just wasn't going to make her feel better about a particular problem she has, so I can understand the motivation, I guess. I don't know if I'd watch the show just because I'm totally squicked out by even blurred-out footage of surgery :s But I'll let you know Pach, haha.

I knew someone who seems to have the same problem you did Pach, but they didn't get surgery or anything and as far as I know it's still a problem. I hope they can do something about it this time :c I get the same problem when my spring allergies are at their worst, and I do know what you mean about your mouth getting super dry at night, because then I wake up with a dry/itchy throat and just a gross feeling in general, and bleh. I definitely would want to go to someone about it if I had that problem all the time...

I got my blood test results, my doctor described it as "excellent" :> Which is odd to me because I'm a little overweight and I'm prone to inhaling sweets and not moving for hours at a time, lol. She said my white blood cell counts are showing as abnormally low purely to seasonal allergies, and I guess my slightly low "good" cholesterol and slightly high "bad" cholesterol aren't any causes for concern. And no vitamin deficiencies~ It's actually kinda cool to see the exact numbers o3o

I'll show you guys what I got when it gets here ^-^ Just a few shirts, a couple hairbands (because I never do anything with my hair and it's driving me nuts), and a tumbler cup, that's all.

Sounds good @ IC! I'll be getting my post up later, I have a couple errands that I need to run. Have a super day, everyone!

Aww, man, that sucks to hear Pach. I hope the doctors fix it this time! And good luck on your paper Rex! And woo-hoo on healthy blood results!

I guess I'll go to work now…on a post. Not go to literal work. :P

Danni found me the new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer



I'll be in my bunk.

Dude, I dye my hair quite a lot lol. My natural colour is dark blonde/light brown/mousy kinda shit so I like to play around with it and make it more interesting.

Hope you're feeling better soon Rex!

And yeah the thing with Pach's op was total bullshit. I was trying to be optimistic at the time but they fucked up urgh. And lmao Danni hahahaha sorry I got work on the brain :P

How much results do you get from a blood test lmao! Last time I had my blood taken it was just NOPE YOU DON'T HAVE CELEAC DISEASE and I did a woop and skipped down the street singing and dancing as I thanked my dad for not having shitty genes like my mum does.

Uagh, sorry I wasn't able to post yesterday. I'll work on one tonight >.<

Hi guys (^w^)/

I'm going to disappear for two days, gonna have a sleepover with friends. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post at all so I'm really sorry >-< hopefully it doesn't slow anything down. Feel free to use my characters or drag them along. I wish you all a grand mornight.

Pach, best of luck on that operation :/ hopefully it gets healed this time!

*Runs off into a land of movie marathons and video games* Seee yaaaa.

Have fun, Fox! And thanks for the get-well, Buns! ~A~ Pacman your vids never work for me. |:S
Anyway, it's break time. Writing a post right now!

Fun note: One of my essays is about angry women. I am so tempted to title it "Bitches Be Trippin'," which is as fitting as you can get, but I'm not sure how my TA would respond to that... maybe I should ask her tomorrow...

It got removed <:x

But here's another one!



Lol Rex, what an essay title |D

Have a fun sleepover, Fox! Scare your friends witless 8D



And thanks for all the wellwishes, guys ^^. Hopefully I can get it sorted ;A; I hope you're all having a wonderful, wonderful day! ^o^ *tacklehugs and squeezes you all*

Have fun with your friends, Fox!!

Bunanigans said How much results do you get from a blood test lmao! Last time I had my blood taken it was just NOPE YOU DON'T HAVE CELEAC DISEASE and I did a woop and skipped down the street singing and dancing as I thanked my dad for not having shitty genes like my mum does.

They did a "lipid profile" (cholesterol), a "comprehensive metabolic panel" (kidneys, glucose, metabolism, chemical balance), and a "complete blood cell count". My doctor actually joked when I asked if I'd be able to find out my blood type (nope :c ), she said "I know, if you're gonna stick a needle in my arm then you might as well tell me everything, right?", lol.

I actually told my friend that I'd take pictures of my new stuff, so I'm gonna throw on some makeup really quick :| But then I'll get to posting, haha. I can't go to bed without washing my face so I guarantee a post before I pass out. :p

My blood type is one of the few things I do know about myself, although that's only because I've donated blood before. It's A Rh-, and only ~7% of the UK population have that (in contrast to ~35% having A Rh+) so it makes me feel special haha! Idk, this'll probably sound wierd but I've always had an interest in blood and how it works and the genetics behind it. Blame my mum for taking us to blood donor sessions when I was like, five.

And then in some countries you've got that wierdass thing where they associate blood types with personality types. I guess it's only as wierd as associating personality with astrology, but lol I don't get it. I mean, let me get Type A up from the ever reliable source of wikipedia!

"Type A
Best traits: Earnest, creative, sensible, reserved, patient, responsible
Worst traits: Fastidious, overearnest, stubborn, tense"

...oh.

See, that's the kind of stuff I wanna know ;A; Yeah, astrology is a good comparison, I know a lot of Asian countries think that blood types are somehow indicative of anything personality-wise. It makes no sense, there are so many personality types and only so many blood types o_o I guess I'm not so afraid of getting it done after my doctor's appointment so I'll try and donate blood next time they have a blood drive at school. Helping people and satisfying curiosity, yeah!

I totally didn't have enough light for this, but here's my new stuff if anyone's curious. =A= Ignore my broken dresser and generally messy room please :T

I'll start working on my post after I wash off my makeup and get back into glorious pajamas, lol.

I love all of those tops (especially that Heart Series one!) 8D South Korea fashion is pretty damn awesome, and it suits you well! 8D I also really like the headband and lmfao @ chubby pom.

I like your phone's cover too ;D

For some reason when I read 'tae got new stuff' my brain did the little FF7 victory fanfare theme as if you leveled up

I'm weird like that |D

Fox picked a heck of a time to leave @ blood discussion lololololol
