Any personal projects you're trying to get round to?

Oh, shit, I've been putting it off for about a year now. How long was your face throbbing in pain?!

Like I said... I put it off for around ten years. It didn't really hurt during the meantime. Every once in a while I'd have a day or two where I felt like a little kid teething, but nothing severe.

Then a few months back I started having whole weeks at a time where my whole face hurt. One of the wisdom teeth was pretty impacted and was putting pressure on the rest of my lower teeth, and another wisdom tooth had cracked because there wasn't enough room for it in my jaw and ended up getting infected. But it took a really long time to get to that point.

If I'd had them taken out at any time within the first five or so years, I probably could have even avoided the days where it felt like I was teething.

But I was lazy, I kept making excuses (like not having the time or money to get it done even when I did), and I was admittedly a little afraid of getting it done because of the horror stories people talk about. But it ended up being no big deal. Operation took about an hour, I felt no pain whatsoever, I was able to speak more-or-less clearly within 8 or so hours after the operation, I was back to work and eating solid foods again within three days. There was a bit of bleeding immediately after I got home, but it wasn't too bad and didn't last very long. There was very little swelling. Hell, I never even bothered taking any of the painkillers they sent me home with.

It's really nothing to worry about. Just don't let it wait as ridiculously long as I did.

Oh, you mean it hurt before you got them taken out, but not so much after? Whew, alright. I'll get mine taken out this coming spring break.

Workin' on that novel o' mine. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9rv1oJ4Res]

I too am writing a novel, actually. Fortunately, on Thursdays I have a three and a half hour break. While it was intensely annoying, I realized it's the perfect time to get down to some writing.

Beyond that, I do have some others I didn't put in the OP:

There is of course my ten year plan to complete my A levels, go to University in America, return to Britain triumphantly and join the Royal Marines, then leave and live in America. I will also hand-rear a couple of wolf cubs.

And think up more shower related innuendos. It seems to be a relationship in-joke that when my girlfriend tells me she's going for a shower I make some kind of sexual remark. Enough so that when I didn't previously, she was a little disappointed.

Oh, and I need to improve my shooting.

Little update on my Minecraft Winterfell project: I'm having a little trouble with the heart tree.

 

[robot slipper]

1) Update my cv, which will hopefully lead to...
2) ...getting a new job
3) Teach my son to ride his bike
4) Teach my son to tie his shoes
5) Reclaim my garden from The Weeds From Hell
6) Get loft insulation installed
7) Somehow get all of this done around Mass Effect 3

I'm building a Witcher dice poker set. Bought the wood, hinges and tools. I've measured up and made blueprints, but I never have the time to just cut some wood. Shame too, I've got some sexy black and gold die just waiting to be used Need to find an artist to paint it too.

 

[Xaio30]

I'm currently planning the construction of the next Iiosia Combat Simulator. Hoping to get in some new features like gridbased movement and multiple partymembers.

 

[Woodsey]

I've been thinking about doing some user reviews, that's about it; now that I've got a short break from doing coursework I might trying writing something up.

 

[Sirron Kcuch]

This summer I'm going to Cameroon on a solidarity project.
Beat that

 

[Total LOLige]

1. Learn another language, I don't know which one but I was learning German in high school so I'll probably carry on with that.
2. Lose my virginity(This one isn't going so well, you could have guessed that.Haha)
3. Read more books(Suggestions welcome)
4. Get some sort of physical excercise at least once a week, I should be a really fat bastard but I've got no fat at all.

Writing my D&D campaign- not that I've lined anyone up to play it yet- I'm halfway through the writing, then need to make all the maps/boards/etc. V.Excited!

 

[Cpu46]

Lets see, I have a ton of ideas for building stuff but lack the materials and funds to procure said materials. Once I get back into the workforce I'm planning on saving up for a Reprap 3D printer (The Huxley model which is ~$500) so I can let loose my creative mind. Currently I want to make a motorized skateboard, a model of a mech I have been thinking about, and many other plans.

Also I really want to get back into D&D and possibly start a webcomic once my drawing skills increase.

Oh, you mean it hurt before you got them taken out, but not so much after? Whew, alright. I'll get mine taken out this coming spring break.

Yep. It really didn't hurt very much after getting them out. It was really more annoying than it was painful. The worst part of the whole experience was the stitches. The oral surgeon I went to used stitches that dissolve over time so that I wouldn't have to go back to get them taken out. After a few days when the stitches started to come loose it felt like I had little pieces of dental floss stuck between my teeth and hanging down in the back of my mouth. It was pretty annoying, but it only lasted like a day or so and wasn't painful.

Some people get lucky and don't have to get wisdom teeth removed. I think it's something like a third of the U.S. population never has to deal with it. But if your dentist tells you it's a concern, it's probably a good idea to listen to him or her and avoid taking the stupid route that I took. Dental health is one of the most frequently overlooked health concerns, despite it actually being very important to a person's well-being.

Build the rest of My Red Frame Astray model.

what grade is it Perfect grade or Master grade?

1/100 high grade, after it I got the Blue Frame also.

have you build more models?
I personally have a small army by now.

I was planning on writing a story, but i lack two things:

the drive to write it
time

My problem when I plan campaigns is actually the opposite. I usually have TOO MANY people who want to play. Pretty soon here I am going to actually sit one of our new guys down and explain to him that jumping in on the third campaign in a three-campaign long story where everyone is playing the same characters starting at at level 12 in a home-brew rule set is not the best way to get into table top gaming. Having him would be problematic for a plethora of reasons D:

 

[sharinganblossom25]

Getting published.
Learning Japanese

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Around a dozen 1/144 mostly seed and original.

 

[Pebblig]

Finally painted my bike after sanding it down, constructed at the moment, but still needs the brakes and gears sorted. As far as barely started projects go, I'm making a USB NES controller. I have everything, but my projects do tend to last a long time as I do the odd hour/2 hours, rather having consistent time on it.

This reminds me that I need to get around to building a MAME arcade cabinet. >.>

There's nothing worse than trying to squeeze a new player into a slow burning game. When I have everything set up, i might just throw it up on facebook and do first come first serve! It's only really written for a party of 4.

Yeah, if you have anything remotely concrete set up in your game it is best to limit the party size. I learned that the hard way a few years ago when running a Star Wars campaign in college. I think we cycled through like 9 players, only four of which actually made it to the end (not because they died but because they were unreliable morons).
