So I was drinking over at my friends, getting ready to go out and we were having a bit of a laugh at my mates expense which he wasn't too happy about, this resulted in him elbowing me in the face and smashing in my 2 front teeth.
I've been to the dentist and apparently it will take about 4 weeks to get it fixed during which time I can't bite anything, can't smile in public without feeling a bit self conscious etc. Let me just say that we really do take everything for granted. -
I went into hospital on Sunday since I had trouble breathing properly - was short of breath, turns out I have Pneumothroax. They stick a great big needle into my chest to syringe out the air and that was not pleasant, the needle was in my chest for about 5-10 minutes. When that didn't work they put in a chest drain which gets pretty incomfortable from time to time, its still in now. Don't know when I'll get out but on the plus side I finally watched Lawrence of Arabia and am playing through Doom 3 again.
All of the interesting people who were in my ward on monday have now been moved away and the man opposite me now is the illest looking man I have ever seen- Show previous comments 6 more

I had primary spontaneous pneumothorax when I was 18. Was in the hospital for three weeks and had to have surgery. Good luck with a swift recovery.

I was in bed the other night and it suddenly hit me that I, and everyone else will die and that after death there may possibly be nothing, i.e. I will no longer exist and this thought I fills me with a sense of overpowering dread. I like to think that I believe in God but even so I have spent a few days feeling depressed that everything will end and after that there will be nothing, I want my conciousness to remain for eternity, has anyone else felt like this? Whenever I probe too far down this road of thought I start to panic and the worst part is that there is nothing I can do about it, even if I did live forever the universe would eventually end.
Yes I know its christmas sorry for these dark thoughts.

Phillip Larkin wrote a poem called 'Aubade' about this feeling: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178058
There isn't really an answer, other than to try and put it out of your mind and get on with life. -

So I was working in our council's library a few weeks ago and got bored so i decided to pick up a book to read since I had like 10 minutes to kill.
I picked up this book called leviathan wakes becase the title on the spine looked star warsish and the blurb sounded interesting as well as having a cool front cover. I have to say that I am very much enjoying it (still haven't finished, don't ruin the ending for me) and have found it the most gripping book that I have read in a long time - I could easily have spent all my time at work reading it.
Its set in the future when humans have colonized the solar system and follows the eventful lives of 2 characters, read all about it here
I would reccomend it, though its probably not for everyone (like most things) anyone else read it? -
Today's my 18th Birthday (born 1993 same year as Doom was released) but its also been a year since I joined the Doomworld forums (a year and 7 days to be more accurate) which is hard to believe since it feels like a few months at most, I guess I need to try harder since I havent even reached "member" status yet and posting in the blogs will get me nowhere as I dont think it counts towards one's total postcount.
