Hell, my dentist popped one out of my mouth using an old (sterilised) screwdriver. No pain, no fuss, no worries.

Uh, not to be a downer here or anything, but if he did it that way, that's because you're one of the people for whom a simple extraction as opposed to a surgical extraction is possible, which usually means the teeth are relatively easy to access (hell, my uncle's an orthodontist and he'd probably question why they're even being removed in such a case). In my case, I have no idea what instruments they used. That's because they knocked me out and had to remove bone.

New blog thread! Let's not fuck it up this time, eh kids? Play nice.

Life has kind of gone to shit lately, but I've started seeing someone to talk about my problems so I don't bore you guys with them. I have been trying to do things that make me happy, and I have to tell you, I made some good choices this week. I think in that other thread I mentioned going to see Frank Turner on Tuesday. He was so good I went to see him again on Wednesday! During the show he said, "Does anyone want to come up and play harmonica for me?" and I shouted, "I do!"

Anyway here here is a video of my short harmonica lesson/banter and debut as harmonica-player with Frank Turner. Excuse my friend singing along drunkenly, and how terrible I look (this haircut is no one's friend).

Kris, I'm sorry. Art school does that to you. Best of luck!

Edit for multiple posts: Allison, that's super awesome!

Guys! I really need to do my taxes and I really need for Ohio to send me my "retirement" money from the job I worked at when I was in uni so I can buy a new laptop. My screen is full of little blue and red pixels and it's getting hard to read! Also I need to save money for PAX, which is not going to be easy, but I think I can do it. Also also I need make a decision as to whether or not I want to take one class in the spring or wait and go full time in the fall. (So I can get my teaching license and teach art to childrens.) If I take one class in the fall, I have to pay for it myself and sadly it's a graduate level course and would cost me $1400. Or I could wait until fall, apply for a program that's easy to get into that I have no intention of actually doing just so I can get scholarships and loans, and go full time. I just don't know if I can stand working at my current job until September and I'm reluctant to start a new job that I probably would have to leave at some point, unless I find some place with really flexible hours that pays as well as or better than my current job. I would gladly leave come April, but I don't think I can afford to pay for the classes I need to take out of pocket. BAH.

I think maybe I need to ask about a transfer to one of the other stores and consider asking one of the part time people if they'd like to work full time. I'd lose my heath insurance (but it's crap and doesn't cover my meds anyways), but I'd be able to find a second job and it'd get me away from downtown, which is pretty much all I want so I can stop being a mess and get on with my life.

Considering that the prophylactic extraction of wisdom teeth is likely a bad idea and financially motivated? Yeah, I think so. Plus, I know of adults who have had the procedure done and didn't plan properly. Driving home while addled by painkillers isn't really the best move, but I know plenty of people who go do so anyway.
