Man, my doctor's office cracks me up. So, a few weeks ago I was having some pretty severe back pain. Worse the longer I had been sitting, often branching down into my hips. I put up with it for two weeks and then went to see my doctor. My doctor prescribed a muscle relaxant and some back exercises. Because my mother has bad osteoarthritis (she's had both hips replaced by this point), my doctor also said that if I was still having pain in a week, to go get a back x-ray done to check for arthritis. Well, I took the muscle relaxants and did my exercises and a week went by, and I was still having pain, though nowhere near as severe. So I went and did my x-ray. My doctor's office just left me this message: "Your x-ray came back normal so you don't need any follow-up here. Have a great day!" .....so, I'm just supposed to put up with the back pain because we now know it's not arthritis? Greeeeeaaaaaaat. Normally I would be miffed about this but in the intervening week that it took them to call me with the x-ray results the pain has mostly vanished, so I'm going to chalk it up to a crappy desk chair (I changed a couple weeks ago) and let it go. But it is still pretty funny. You know, in a pathetic, didn't-review-my-chart-before-calling-me sort of way. PS: OUR HOUSE HAS FUCKING SCORPIONS. Remember all those times I complained about ants and crickets? THAT, TIMES A BILLION. That is all. Tags: healthcare doesn't, sigh, wah wah wah, why do i live in the desert

I need practical Facebook advice. So, I'm on Facebook. I actually rather like Facebook (*is ashamed*) and it may account for how much less I've been posting on LJ (but probably not), but every once in a while you get an awkward situation like this one. A girl who I was moderately good friends with in high school found me on Facebook and friended me. I friended her back, but we didn't really talk, it was just like "oooh, someone I used to know! OH HAI!" like Facebook usually is. The thing is, she is *constantly* putting up stuff on her status about how much she hates Obama and how the country is going to hell and basically posting a lot of conservative crap that I don't agree with. Now, I am one hundred percent okay with her posting this. It's a free country and she can use FB to say whatever she wants. The problem is that it's a free country and I don't want to read it. (Also, "Nobama" drives me nuts. People who use that seriously do not realize how uneducated they look. It was an election-campaign slogan. He won. It's obsolete. Get over it.) I don't want to reply to her posts with my own views because a) I don't really know her that well, b) I don't want to get in huge arguments on Facebook, and c) she probably doesn't care about what I have to say anyway. I've tried to just ignore it, but it's seriously very frequent, and it also makes me nuts trying to figure out how the goth chick I went to high school with has turned into a venom-spewing conservative. So the question, basically, is this: Should I defriend her? And perhaps more importantly: when you defriend someone on FB, are they sent a little notice? "Hi! This person has booted you off their friends list, you jerk." Or do they just eventually notice or not notice on their own time? Is there defriending etiquette? Any advice about this would be appreciated. ETA: A hide button! Genius! Thanks, guys! =D Tags: big bad world, wah wah wah

I got around to seeing HP6 today and I have to say that the guys sitting next to me need professional help. Seriously, even *I* don't see that much gay subtext in things. "I can talk to snakes." *snortgiggle* "Take my arm, Harry." *chortleguffaw* "Wands at the ready." *lolzsnigger* SRSLY WHAT STFU It was funny at first but got really wearing, the longer the movie went on. I mean, seriously. And the movie felt kind of.... aimless, talking-heady, to me. I didn't dislike it, but I think it's one of the weaker ones of the lot and was very anti-climactic. HP6 seems to have gotten a fair amount of praise, which leaves me wondering if I'm the only one who felt that way. BUT THE PINCERS, OMG, THE PINCERS THING WAS HILARIOUS.
