Solitary Confinement

I came home 2 hours ago from the dentist.. I had oral surgery to remove my three wisdom teeth (for some reason the 4th one did not grow out).. So does that mean i am now 'unwise' cuz they took it out? (ha!) It freakin hurts right now! It's good thing i don't have any classes until Tuesday because I get grumpy when in pain.. so, i had this great idea.. right now, I'm going to talk about the "Comparative Pain Scale" I found on the internet.. see what level you are on right now..


Level 1: Barely Noticeable pain
Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.

Level 2: Discomforting
Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet & reaching for the light switch.

Level 3: Tolerable
A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.

Level 4: Distressing
Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.

Level 5: Very Distressing
Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine WC Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.

Level 6: Intense
Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.

Level 7: Very Intense
Painfully Distressing. Like Applying salt to a fresh wound


Level 8: Utterly Horrible
Caustic & burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of Hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.

Level 9: Excruciatingly Unbearable
Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath (if you are on level 9, might as well lie down and scream).

Level 10: Unimaginably Unspeakable
Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch nail in your heel.


** Right now I think I'm On level 8.. not bad.. but it hurts so much.. kill me now!
