numby fun

[fflo]

i'm all goofy numb from dentist, part ii

feels like punctuation would be disingenuous, given that i couldn't enunciate in speech right now if called upon to do so

funnier that the weird clown nose feeling and odd tingly tongue is that overall i feeel tipsy from it, and am suddenly remembering liking being in an altered state, under the influence, stuff like that. 'sbeen a while, apart from mild tipsiness at a fruity martini or glass of wine here and there. and, no, i didn't get nitrous. just a numb right side, numb-er by a long shot than the left was the other day.

so now i have a month until i go back to the dentist, and my teeth are cleaner than they've been since well before i started writing here, for instance. i have some extra upkeeep rituals to do for the next several weeks.

this is a boring post, ain't it.

i was wishing as i drove away from the dentist's that i had somebody to make out with, cuz i don't tink i've ever done the particular kind of asymmetrical-feelin' making out it'd be in this condition

(i just saw the 'tink' typo but am keeping it)

it appears that all the poetry books in the aadl system are at the downtown branch

i feel drunk like a drunk who wants to tell everyone 'i love you'

this is not the worst feeling to have

oh, and hey, i've got a great dental hygienist for ya if you need one

WOOOOooooooo oooo ooo oooooo ...

I've never gotten high off of dental anethetic. One time my dentist managed to inject it into a vein instead of the general tissue, though. My heart started racing like crazy and I nearly passed out. But no high.

I'm glad you're having fun with it.

That happened to me once! It made me shake uncontrollably too, for about 45 minutes, so they couldn't work on me because I was shaking so much. My dentist didn't say he injected it into a vein, though. He said I just had too much adrenalin in my system before the injection, so the additional adrenalin from the novocaine was too much for me and caused the reaction. So ever since then I've had carbocaine instead of novocaine, which is exactly the same thing but with the adrenalin removed.

Got yer loopy message yesterday. I wa on the other phone when you called, and my secretary couldn't find the cell phone in my bag. I tried to call you back so I could talk to you while you were all goofy, but I kept getting ab usy signal. Than Jeff & I had to leave for dinner before our book group.

You sounded like you were really enjoying the novacaine! Me, I like the laughing gas but not the novacaine so much. I'm glad you had fun with it!

"my secretary"?? i didn't know! har.

i haven't like novocaine before, particularly. had a bad time with it during the wisdom tooth cum dry socket debacle, in fact. (never let the man take your wisdom away.) it was the half-done thing that was so crazy. not that i'm hoping for a stroke or anything.

what was the book?

Yeah-- you've talked to "my secretary" before. He's a good kid. Tee hee.

The book group is goingto be good, I think. The first book is Three Good Deeds" by Vivian Vande Velde. We have a month to read it. (Last night Jeff ead chapter 1 out loud, which is how I think we should do it. That way, he actually reads (as opposed to be told a story), but since we're doing it together, I can help him with the harder words. This book is a challenging one for him, and the rest of them look to be also. We're supposed to meet once a month, discussing a different book each time. There'll also be a craft and a snack involved.

Want to get involved in a group that's going to be meeting at lunchtime at the office, but I think I'm going to have to buy the first book--I'm number 37 on the library's waiting list for Special Topics in Calamity Physics.

Oops--there should be a closing italics code in there--oh well. C'est la vie, as they say.

[fflo.livejournal.com]

of course... that secretary. yeah, sometimes it's hard to get a call past him!

Never heard of the Calamity Physics book. Will go look it up...

Hmmm. I'll bite. (I'm now #76 of 76 on the waiting list here!)

Did you try to drink anything while in your half numb, tingly state? (And no, I just mean regular non-alcoholic stuff.) I made that mistake last time, hopefully last time ever, I had a filling worked on.

[fflo.livejournal.com]

I didn't! What, it wasn't FUN??

[kohkae.livejournal.com]

It just drooled straight out of my mouth, right down my chin, and onto my shirt. I don't even do that when I'm drunk although I do slur a lot.

I really didn't get the tinglies going until the whole thing was done. I think they jump in a little quick. Let it get good and numb I say.
