fennectikI sure do hate it when some random idiot I never seen before in my life starts opening his mouth and get in my business.
My first cap on a back molder tooth
Nov. 15th, 2025 08:11 ama_natural_beautyOuch! It wasn't a good experience. I was told a few months ago I would need a cap on my left lower back molder and I had no idea it would be such an experience. 2 1/2 hours at the dentist. I want to say that was the longest I've ever been at the dentist. First step was getting around the tooth taken away and taking out the current filling. Then also this piece of wire to go in-between my gums and tooth.
I have a small mouth to begin with and it was just painful. Even though I was numb my jaw still hurt so much. And the dentist herself wasn't exactly in a good mood, making some somewhat rude comments and I could just feel from her body language that she was wanting to be done with my mouth. The taste of the filling coming out tasted so bad and the other weird things I could taste my mouth were awful. I'm not a big fan of this dentist. But they still take my insurance and they are the closet. I may change in the future... I'm not sure yet.
For the next two weeks I can not chew on that tooth, I have some sort of covering over it now. Chewing gets tiring on just my right side so I haven't been eating much. I haven't been eating much after my fathers death anyway - I just have a lack of interest in eating. So I guess it's good timing... but gosh, like another ten days of this before I go back... it feels like a-lot. Also I can't brush that area or floss around that tooth.
Have any of you ever had to get a cap on any of your teeth? If you have - what was it like?

A quick hello!
Nov. 15th, 2025 07:11 ama_natural_beautyI think this is the first time in maybe a month I go check out the reading page and see what everyone is up to. But I just wanted to say hello and see how you guys are doing! I hope you all have been doing well and taking care of yourselves.
If you feel like updating me on anything good news - or even some not so good news - you can! I'm still happy to find the time to come on here and type out my feelings and thoughts. And read yours and be supportive of each other. At times the world still seems like a crazy and unknown place so I'm grateful to these safe places.

Maybe the stupidest reason for hope, ever,

Lunar: Eternal Blue post
Nov. 14th, 2025 01:59 amfennectik
And that makes two. After awakening the White and Blue dragons, only the Red and Black. Although something tells me I probably should've gotten the Red Dragon before the Blue one? I had thought rescuing the Black one would had been the last, but I guess I'm wrong.
I'm currently on Disc 2, and anxious to finish it sometime soon.
Finished My Haunted House Reading Group...
Nov. 12th, 2025 05:09 pmchicatingIt was nice, but somehow not what I was looking for, either. Worth a shot, though--writers have to expand our wheelhouses for what we read and I read this Argentinian short story collection earlier this year. I did get a story idea out of it I guess. But I wish there were something out there that would use...well, maybe All of My Things is dramatic, but maybe More of My Things makes sense.
Some part of me always feels as if it twiddles its thumbs.

So therapy day
Nov. 11th, 2025 01:21 amfennectikBefore I get into my first visit to a shrink, I will talk about apologizing to a person who always prays every morning and every night because of his religious routine. I once tried to hush him when he was doing such in the evening, which was a very ignorant and discriminatory thing to do. I realized he was praying when he would do the same thing the day after, and I erroneously believed he was just singing for the sake of annoying others. I still feel awful on how inexplicably stupid I acted. He accepted the apology, but what happened will be engraved in me so I may never act in such disgusting way again.
After that, had my first therapy session, which was an introduction and getting acquainted with my therapist. I told everything that was bothering me, including OCD intrusive thoughts and the like, which made me feel a bit better. I'll be visiting every two weeks.
Lastly, I stepped on one side of my headphones which messed it up, having no choice but to use the emergency pair I had for when the previous headphones began failing. That made me pretty pissed, because I had the extra pair at the ready to be used if something happened to the old ones. I had planned keeping them until a month or so then use this pair.
Overall it was a mixed day.

Therapy time
Nov. 9th, 2025 09:30 pmfennectikTomorrow will be my first day getting counseling about stuff in my head in over 2 years. U never wanted to go back to this sort of thing, but lately I've been dealing with shit that I can't handle on my own, so here we go.
Glad I'm not living in Mississippi at the moment
Nov. 7th, 2025 07:22 pmfennectikRead this site's news stating anyone who uses an IP geolocating in Mississippi gets a blocked page explaining some stuff involving security and whatnot. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.
Been away doing stuff, mainly catching up on Anime and watching some recommendations like Solo Leveling and The Water Magician. Of the two I found Solo Leveling more interesting, so I'll be watching it more. I've finished watching the Vampire Princess Miyu OAV series and quite frankly I choose the TV series over it. I don't know, Miyu acts better there in my opinion and that spiritualist character seemed in the way of the show's flow.
But that's just me.
Been playing old games like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Metroid Fusion, hoping to at least finish one of them this time around.
My OCD has been pestering me quite a bit over nothing as usual, but I'm trying to keep on top of things about it. Have been drawing some stuff but don't feel like posting it online.
This crappy android phone is getting on my nerves the more I use it. Not sure why after all this time they seem to have the same shit going on with them which makes you toss it at the wall. Then again, what can one expect from a $50.00 phone?
Anyway, I'll just go back to do my thing for now.

Welsh has no words for "yes" or "no"
Oct. 28th, 2025 12:07 pmsmmg"Welsh has no word for yes or no" always seems a bit strange to me. Because yes there's no one single Welsh word that is used for "yes" or "no" that directly translates to all the English uses of "yes"/"no". But the Welsh words we use instead still mean "yes" or "no". They would still translate to "yes" or "no" in English.
Like, "ydw" as an answer literally means "I am" but that means "yes" essentially, yes? Like you'd still translate it to "yes" if you were translating a Welsh text to English.
The "I am" in the English translation sounds more emphatic like "yes, I definitely am going!" whereas it doesn't sound emphatic in the Welsh. Like it just translates to "yes" in this context.

- "Wyt ti'n mynd?" "Ydw, dwi'n mynd" -> original Welsh
- "Are you going?" "I am, I'm going" -> more literal translation
- "Are you going?" "Yes, I'm going" -> translation that keeps the tone/feel the same between the two languages
The "I am" in the English translation sounds more emphatic like "yes, I definitely am going!" whereas it doesn't sound emphatic in the Welsh. Like it just translates to "yes" in this context.
I finished reading Chrono Crusade by Daisuke Moriyama
Nov. 6th, 2025 09:08 ama_natural_beautyIt took me a couple of months but I'm glad I finished reading 'Chrono crusade' again. I think this was the third time reading it. I bought it back when I was in high school, one of the first manga series I got into. I always liked the action, humor, art, characters and story. Being just a teen back then it was probably a bit on the heavy side but I that's okay! It's only eight volumes long, if any of you are curious to read it. I feel like it was a fairly simple read and wasn't too timely. I don't want to give too many spoilers but some of my favorite parts were the start of it with the characters together like Azmaria and Satella with Rosette and Chrono working as a dysfunctional team. And I loved the later volumes that cover the flashbacks with Mary Magdalene and Chrono. IT would have made the story too long but I wish the four characters - Rosette, Chrono, Azmaria and Satella - would of had a bit more time together since they felt like they had a good thing going for the plot and worked well together. It felt strange finishing up the last volume after my dad's passing since so much of the book covered topics like death, loss and sudden changes in life. Bittersweet almost.
Next I'm going to be reading different comic books I have laying around that I have been meaning to get rid of. Maybe later on in winter I'll re-read another manga series but for now I'm good just focusing on reading books I'd like to rehome.
