Lessons In Language

Today I happened upon this video. It is a very detailed video about speaking Pirate, which definitely has its own grammar, tone, and words. I love videos like this!  It reminded me of this oldie but goodie!

I wonder when we'll see more good ones? How about speaking like yoda? :)

Here is one of the awesome language videos we watched in my linguistics class. I find language fascinating. Don't you?

Toothache

So, I have a forum on FB that I share with a few of my closest friends. I was trying to post this first post on normal fb with my phone last night (the screen can be dulled, so it wasn't too bright like my monitor) but it wouldn't let me post any statuses. So I put it in Besties. I also updated them today. But I wanted to share my toothache story with you guys, too. So here's what's going on. 

I'll try to post again after the dentist.

I was brain dead at work today. Then I clock off and as I'm walking to the front of the store my tooth starts hurting. By the time I reach my car, my whole head hurts, which amplifies the tooth ache.
I text my friend that we'll need to meet in the a.m. instead, and it gets worse. I text mom, "migraine from tooth ache" ....it gets exponentially bad. So bad I am closing my eyes cuz parking lot lights are too bright.

I had to call Les and have him pick me up.
2 naproxen, some water, and I walk in house, eyes shut. Get in hot hot shower. And just when I think, as I'm on the shower floor under the nice hot water, that it can't get worse, it does, and I start bawling.

It feels like its been hours... but I clocked off at 8pm.

Anyway.... now its back to a toothache and slight headache. I'm going to bed before it flares back up.

So, an update on the toothache. Went to bed, tried everything to fall asleep, but my teeth were still a bit sore. Then.... it flared up again. SO BAD. I took 2 ibuprophen. I crushed one and dissolved it and swooshed it against my teeth, then spat it out.... thinking maybe it will dull the pain if it goes directly to the source.
Well having cool water in my mouth made it feel a little better so I got back in bed with high hopes.
No Such Luck.

Within 2 minutes I was having shooting pain again. It hurt my whole jawline, my head, my cheek bones... I cried. I sat up. I rubbed my toes. I rocked back and forth. I rubbed my face, my head, my neck.

I got back in the hot shower, it didn't help. As I was walking to the shower I told Les to call mom and figure out something. A little while later I was back in bed, freezing (did I mention this whole time I was colder than ice? Even in the hot shower, everything not touching water was freezing. Even in my car waiting for Les to pick me up. Even in bed under 3 big blankets) .

Mom came home with some orogel like stuff caled benzydine or something. I rubbed that ALL OVER, on my teeth, gums, all the way to the back of my mouth, and the roof of my mouth. Surrounded all the problem teeth.

Do you know the stuff that they put on your gums just before they give you the Novocaine shot? That's all it was.

It tingled and buzzed and also continued to hurt like fucking hell.

The pain made me nauseous. It was after midnight.

Then it was one... still in pain

Les was next to me snoring and my shrieking every time the pain spiked kept waking him up.

two a.m.

I go floss my teeth. I think, if I could just rub my gums. If I could just rub them maybe they'd settle...

Then I am back in bed, there is far less pain. I fall asleep. Then 30 minutes later, the pain makes me sit straight up, wide awake, scared.

I go to the bathroom and floss again. I think... this worked once... maybe it will again.

It did... I finally was able to fall asleep somewhere around 3:30 this am. Of course, my tooth is still at an ache, but we are at a 3 on a 1-10 scale whereas last night I was at a 12. Now I have a dentist appt for 11:40.

Idk what the fuck they did to my teeth when I got my fillings the other day but they god damn better fucking fix it.
