Green Room - Week 23 - Day 7

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

We’ve got a poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/557968.html
And special powers: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/557781.html

Next, I’m tying you to the roof of my car, because it’s just like a rollercoaster. You’ll going to LOVE it!! It’s good enough for Seamus Romney, it’s good enough for you!

Ah, the good old 80s, where everything was “OK” and the future was filled with the possibilities of what could be screwed up next!
As an example – how many current Idolers were actually born in the 80s!! What a horrible decade, that will likely go down as when everything went wrong! ;)

Unlike right now, in Idol, which will go down as the time when everything had already gone so completely wrong that there wasn’t much you could do except put your head down and hope for the best!

I'm off to get my wisdom tooth extracted. I'm likely going to be out of it the rest of the day. Thankfully I have Java here to help me out. Luckily it's only one tooth since the others came in earlier. All at different times still though, like years apart, but they all were pulled with local numbing only. This one is impacted into the bone and never surfaced. I'm nervous since I've only been under anesthesia once in my life and that was when I was 6 and I had my tonsils removed. So any well wishes for me to not freak out and for quick healing is appreciated.

Oh and I was born in the 80s. That's something I like to tease Java about any chance I get :P

[n3m3sis42.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I had all 4 cut out when I was 18 and it didn't turn out to be a big deal. I didn't do the general anesthesia, though, just nitrous. I'm not sure why but it's probably because I'm insane.

Enjoy being able to tease people about being old for all it's worth now! I was a total brat about that when I was younger and now the tables have turned. ;-)

I do try to keep my head down that way the fnords can't see me.
Ah the 80's a loverly decade where everyone really was out to get you. Honistly I think us generation Xer's turned out remarkably well all things considered. Frankly it's really amazing that we aren't all holed up someplace with a shotgun screaming to the people at the door to go away.
Remember folks paranoia is just good reasoning when everyone is out to get you.
check my lj and in it my home game entry.

Good luck!

I take no blame for the eighties; I'm a '76 baby myself! I know a lot more music from the eighties than I ought to, though - purely by osmosis from having much older siblings. Which means I know the words to the songs but not who sang them or anything about the bands then. Don't take me to pub quizzes, I would let the side down.


I'm certainly hoping to keep my head down and hoping for the best!

I'm setting myself the task of reading and commenting on everyone's entry this week. Let's see if I can do it.

'87, represent!

though I feel really old now when I realize that most of my students were born in the 1990s...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

You damn kids, get offa my lawn!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I was born in 1967. I feel old, LOL.

Not as old as drjeff, of course, but still old. ;)

I love rollercoasters - not quite as much the sort that go upside down, or the type you stand up on, but otherwise they are FUN. :)

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

1961 here. I graduated college in 83.

[alien-infinity.livejournal.com]

I was born in the late eighties (1987), so I guess I'm partly responsible for the horribleness, haha.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

AHA! I knew you had something to do with it!

;)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Greetings all! I'm writing to you from the Marquis de Sade's chamber of pain and torment otherwise known as the dentist's office while they work on Miss Pixie. A couple of girls in their early 20's just walked in for their appointment carrying a blanket and a pillow. Can't say i blame them for needing a woobie.

And hey, what's wrong with the 80's? That's my decade! Still love me some 80's nostalgia!

[michikatinski.livejournal.com]

80's Nostalgia = You Can't Do That on Television = Awesome. :-D

[michikatinski.livejournal.com]

You're so encouraging, Gary!

*waves to other 80's children*

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

Good luck. I HATE trying on clothes. Nothing ever fits me right. (either that or apparently I never realized what shape I truly am.)

Hopefully you will not have that problem!:)

[sarcasmoqueen.livejournal.com]

Wow, all you young'uns born in the '80's are making me feel ancient! I graduated from HIGH SCHOOL in 1987!!

80's music rules though. Well, the '80's and disco.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I was born in 1978.

Don't blame me!:)

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

1973. Day 26.
I feel old and rundown. Part of that is bursitis acting up tho mine is juvenal onset - I was 8 when it started.
I be sleepy now.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Wisdom tooth removal was a success! The anesthesia didn't kick in as quickly as I thought and I had a major panic attack, but the doctor put some "anti-anxiety medicine" in my IV and all was good once again. They moved me over to the next room and asked who was with me... And that's when I realized that it was done. I didn't even remember getting sleepy. One minute I was getting the medicine in the IV listening to the tech girls talking about how hot Adam Levine was to being taken into another room for what I thought was surgery but I was done. It's crazy.

My contact fell out and within minutes of waking up, I was able to put it back in without a mirror or assistance. The tech was impressed. I can't even do that without being out of it usually.

I had a banana peanut butter smoothie to go with my Vicodin. I'll be out the rest of the day ;)

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear it is over and you had an easy time.
Vicodin did not make me sleepy at all but it works differently on different people. As long as it controls any pain, that's the thing! Have a good nap!

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

I was born in December of 1980.

Major work stress, gotta go.

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

Putting my head down and hoping for the best. It's going to be a very long week!

[knomers.livejournal.com]

I was born in 76 raised in the 80's finished high school in the 90's and the only thing my Mum can say is that the weed has just gotten more expensive...

Yeah for Hippie parents and their penchant for drug use!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Hah, that's hilarious. I still can't get over how long ago the 90s were. I miss that decade....

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

But I don't like roller coasters. :(

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

If y'all haven't seen today's shirt.woot (http://shirt.woot.com/) shirt, you really should. Because it's totally relevant to this week's topic and all. Just sayin'.

Also, I find it oddly comforting to know that other folks find this whole "born in the 80's" trend to be quite disturbing. What were you folks thinking? ;)

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling very old with all this post '80s talk :p

The '70s was such a divergent decade. On the one hand, as tigrkittn said upthread, we were a little too young to understand the winds of societal change that had sprung from the 60s (women's lib, Vietnam, the space program, etc.); OTOH, by the close of the decade, we were just starting to understand all the implications with disco in the background.

Anyway.

I'm pleased to report that Mr. Jack made it through his sedation and x-rays successfully. Now all we have to do is wait...

I'm hungry.

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

who could really understand anything with disco going on?

[ellakite.livejournal.com]

I was born in 1963. The 80s included my graduation from High School and College, as well as my landing my first real job.

Unfortunately, they also included the death of my father...

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

heck, some people like older guys.
They have experiance and little blue pep pills.

[porn-this-way.livejournal.com]

1981 here, bbs! T'was the year when video killed the radio star.

[jacq22.livejournal.com]

I was busy popping babies out in the sixties, spent the later sixties in a fug of other people's drugs at parties, loved 69 to 79, oh boy the memories!! The music still carries me back, and I get misty about Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and Dylan.

Then I was a mother of teenagers in the 70's , we listened to a lot of music. I was a very cool Mum.
80's had to cope with a lot of the death, husband's mother, my father, my mother. When all the lj crew were having their formula, I was balancing work, nursing sick people, and dealing with teenage angst.

But also remember the 80's for some fun stuff too, the fashions were whacky, the bands were 'glam rock', and we changed countries for the third time.
Music update;
I notice Gotye has made it to the top of the US charts, see? I have been going on about him for four years! I 'wuz right'.
