Needles, Needles and the DMV

Sep 07, 2007 00:15

So I finally went and got blood drawn yesterday and today after putting it off for months and months. I am so terrified of needles that it took me forever to get up the courage to actually go do it. I can't believe I waited so long for something so simple. And I guess conquering my fear of the needles and getting it over with has just completely ( Read more... )

Needles scare me too and having my blood drawn is something i don't exactly look foward to.The last time the doctors regular nurse was out and the new one couldn't find a vain,enough said :) I bet your pic rocks,you're probably one of the few that gets a cool license photo!I got a gift card for my birthday in july to get my ears pierced and it's still on my to do list,i can't wait,that and getting my hair styled and getting my hair dyed auburn,maybe some highlights.The name change is awesome,in my case i got a lawyer,cause it's such a small southern town and so far things are going well.Choosing a last name is such a personal thing,Erica Dean sounds very nice,i guess it depends on your relationship with your mom,if ya love her and shes been good to you i'd use her last name,who cares what anybody else thinks,just sayin. I'm glad to be an lj friend and i just want ya to be happy with your choice and i'll be glad to know ya with whatever last name you chose:)

Caongratulations!!!! On the blood work, the new pic on your DL and on th eear piercing. I know it can be hard to deal with those fears.

As for the name... Well, "Dean" is a very easy name to remember, spell, and say, though you will lose most of if not all of any "ethnic" connotations and connections to your heritage, at least in the name department. I actually dumped my old last name as well, and for similar reasons. I wound up taking my maternal grandmum's maiden name. I think she would have liked that.

I don't see a problem with "Kirschenbaum". It translates from the German as "cherry tree".

:o)

Erica Dean sounds great :)

Hope all is well with you and good luck with your date!!! Be sure to let me know all about it

Hey!

I ended up not going on that date last night. I got in a fight with my roommates boyfriend and lost all of my confidence and really didn't feel like going out anywhere. I am just like so over being up here. I am just so frusterated at not being able to get my life going.

I think that Erica Kirschenbaum is going to end up being the winner. I talked to my mom about it after I posted and asked her what she thought. I have never had the same last name as my family and it has always been one of the reasons that I have always felt like an outcast. But, I didn't file anything Friday because I still really don't know what to do.

I know it was time. I got so sick of people telling me that I needed to do it. Like no joke I had 5 people asking my why I hadn't done it in like a week.

Yeah after my last doctors visit I was just so sick of people not thinking that my id's were me. I guess getting blood drawn from me really motivated me to do all those other things I had been putting off.

No big deal with the kid from high school. I didn't expect anything from it. It was just something I told you as like an example of things that should be stressful but they aren't because so many more stressful things have happened.
