I am a responsible adult.

apocalypsosWhich you can tell because after months and months and months of putting it off because I couldn't afford it (although I should be able to now thanks to overtime), I finally made an appointment for Monday to get my one wisdom tooth out, at the very least.
What I should do (but can't afford to do) is get both wisdom teeth out and my cracked tooth crowned, but right now the only thing that I'm sure I can afford is getting one out, and possibly the one on the bottom as well. The one on the top is the one that's killing me -- it started out with a small chip out of it last year at this time, and now it's pretty much half a tooth that's in pain at least every other day with a jagged edge that keeps poking me in the cheek. Which, uh, OW.
So noon on Monday I go to get checked out. And hell, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll rip it out right then and there. (Take it out! I don't need drugs! Just give me a fifth of vodka and borrow a pair of pliers from the janitor!)
Okay, now to go call Keystone and finally set up my appointment with the admissions people so I can be a responsible adult twice over. \o/

vylit mentioned the things that she needs to write, which led to me thinking about the things that I need to write.
1. Music -- Preferably something without lyrics so that I can follow the beat but don't focus on the lyrics. Movie scores usually work pretty good, and I've got a channel or two picked out on Pandora specifically for when I'm writing.
2. Drinks -- It's got to be either one of two things, Pepsi (there's inevitably four or five empty two-liter bottles littering my office floor) or Smirnoff Grape (for when I'm writing porn or stressing out on a project).
3. Snacks to pick at -- And when I say "pick at," I mean constantly nibbling on something. Half of the reason I end up eating so much is because I'm a bottomless pit when I'm writing. My tastes change regarding what's usually on my desk, but most of the time it's those Pringles sweet potato chips, pretzel logs, Tostitos, Doritos, or Cheetos.
4. Something to prop my feet up on -- I have such a hard time writing with my feet on the floor anymore.
5. An Internet connection -- Yeah, it's a distraction, but I can't write if I can't keep checking my email.
6. Low soft lighting -- It's really hard for me to write under bright fluorescent lighting, which is why my office ceiling lights are usually off and the Halloween string lights on my office desk are always plugged in when I'm using the computer. I also write better at night. Go figure.

Somebody write me Luke/Noah fic. I need a pick-me-up after seeing everybody's Wincon reports. (Which ... I love you all, but. *wibbles and clutches at you all*)
*bats eyelashes at everybody*
I got you people hooked on the Pretty Gay Soap Boys for a reason. COME ON. Porn me, baby.
