@lcaro13 the exhibit was super crowded, I didn’t see you with all the bodies there lol. Did you like it? I tried to not buy merch but failed per usual

    It was crowded! I almost lost my friend because she was holding my phone so I couldn’t call her LOL. I loved the candid photos and the lyric room. It was really cool to see Jung Kook’s painting up close. I just bought some stickers.

    Did you make it to the movie?

      I loved the Polaroids! I took some pictures when they weren’t looking lol. I bought the photo card set and the individual photos 😐 I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t get to watch the movie 😩 I’m hoping to go this week

I had my two upper wisdom teeth removed today… I asked the dental assistant if I talked about anything funny or embarrassing while high on anesthesia she said I rambled on about BTS 😳 I told her to spare me the exact details because I can only imagine what I said. Note to self, don’t watch an episode of run BTS or clips of their performances right before going under

    This is amazing! Hope you’re feeling okay.

    Lol XD. I really don’t understand why dentists ( I assume it was in the US) drug patients to remove wisdom teeth to the point of getting them high. I live in the US but it was cheaper to get them removed in Mexico, and while my whole mouth was numb I wasn’t that drugged. In fact because it was in a little town where my grandparents live, the dentist left after he removed one because he had to file a report for a traffic accident. While we waited for him I sat on the waiting room talking to my grandma and I was lucid. Anyway I hope you feel better :)…

      I think it’s how your body reacts to the meds used to put you under… My sister and I were completely fine— and I even got double dose of meds to put me under because one dose wouldn’t do it

      0

      Yup, the US! They decide whether to put you to sleep or to just numb your jaw depending on your age and if your teeth are impacted and still attached to the bone . Unfortunately for me I had bone impactions and upper wisdom teeth roots are close your sinus so it was safer and easier to be put to sleep. Funny thing is I have no clue when I knocked out and I definitely don’t remembering waking up the first time when I said everything 🤭

      I got mine done in Canada, and I wasn’t knocked out (that doesn’t seem to be the norm there?) but they did give me some kind of pill to “relax” and I was pretty out of it while the procedure happened. (Though I do have a very distinct memory of the dentist and his assistant talking about movies and getting something wrong and I wanted to yell “It’s not Matthew Mcconaughey”.) I do remember being a bit goofy before I went in. Also, I was high as a kite on the painkillers that whole weekend. I think my housemates were very amused at the whole thing.

      2
      1

        I was given laughing gas first to help me relax, which in all honesty I barely felt. Then the Dr. distributed the anesthesia through an IV and I think that hit quickly because the Dr. was like think of something happy and I’m pretty sure I was out cold. With my lower wisdom teeth I was just given a shot and I literally heard the dentist crack my tooth to pull it out 😖 I also have a tiny mouth which has been a pain for every dentist working on me and sucky for me because I feel sore after a while- getting put to sleep was just the better option for me although it costs a bit more

        2
        1

          Yeah, I distinctly remember hearing them crack my teeth – I got all four out in one go, hence the massive amounts of painkillers after. I think they gave me the anti-anxiety pill and then just did local anesthesia which I’m always wary of. I’ve had a couple of teeth pulled because I too have a small mouth and the first time the anesthesia didn’t take and I was in massive amounts of pain but sucked it up because I thought that was normal. Then the next time there was literally no pain and I realized I was an idiot for not telling my dentist that I was in pain the first time. Also I was like 12, but still. At least I have a very high pain tolerance.

          1
          1

            In the US if you pull all 4 wisdom teeth teeth out at once 99% of the time they put you to sleep. You must be a trooper because when I feel any pain during dental work I start to whimper so they’ll give me more Novocain lol

      You should get them out ASAP, my teeth actually shifted because I left them in too long 😐 Don’t be scared to go under, it felt like waking up from a really good nap haha and just don’t let anyone film you during or after lol

        Ugh 😢. I have two top ones and one bottom. My top two are pretty much all the way in. They haven’t caused me any pain, but the dentist says I still need to get them out because they could cause me problems later on.

So BTS won top social artist and they presented the award to them on the red carpet… it was so anticlimactic

    Awards themselves have become sort of anticlimactic and seem like a thing that the artists/actors/actresses attend only out of courtesy now

      Courtesy and probably because the studios can blacklist them from projects if they don’t

        Hmmmm…. It depends on where the boundaries are set, and by whom (who has the final say), for award shows (maybe the award show producers and sponsors??), but I’m pretty sure the broadcasting networks can’t blacklist artists

          Maybe blacklist was too strong of a word but you sure aren’t doing yourself any favors. Kinda how a good chunk of Korean award shows seem to have that no show, no award policy.

            Yea =( And it’s not like music award shows where the artists and fans boycott the awards and then try to make everything better by rearranging and re-branding the awards and award categories… Or can they??? Hmmm….

    I read that the TSA is usually presented during the red carpet…that changed when the boys won last 2017. I’m guessing since BB knows they will win the Top Group, there was no need to present it during the show.

    I was shocked when I woke up, they already won TSA

    Goddamn that’s outrageous! $60 for the tee I want?? $30-35 is more appropriate. Is this the merch for the concert or the pop-up?

      For the pop up; I think the concert merch prices are the same as last time so a bit cheaper. They have some of it up on bighit online store but most of it is sold out

      0
      1

        How can it be sold out if it’s pre-order? That makes no sense. I thought the whole idea of pre-order was that they would know how many to make. I got the sweatshirt from their LY concert so I am not in dire need of this stuff, but I would have liked to have the option!

        0
        1

          Preorder for online is sold out on some stuff but they will have the same stuff for purchase at the concert venues so it’s still possible to get the goods. Btw the pop up store has the creepy bts barbies on display lol

          1
          1

            Those things freak me out. Why they agreed I don’t know.

            They sold out pretty quickly at the Oakland concert. I couldn’t get either of the tees. But it doesn’t mean I won’t try again!! How else am I going to spend my time there…

        And it’s suppose to be exclusive merchandise only sold at the Pop up store but did you see what happened at the Line Store on the news, it was insane … ahhh, I’m gonna have to think long and hard about this 😐😭😶

        3
        1

          I don’t remember if I heard anything about the Line Store pop up. It would be a crazy crazy crazy thing to do. The only thing I can think of that I’ve done that would be even close was waiting a bazillion years in line for Disney merch when I went to the D23 Expo a couple years back. It was utter torture. So, maybe this isn’t such a grand idea…but then again…it’s BTS!! What we really need is some sad sap we can make go in our stead.

      The whole point of Uno is to get rid of all your cards first, so if the player before you puts that card down you need to pick up 4 cards… so yes you can end friendships lol

        And what is interesting is.. this whole larry drama is so so similar to all the “clues” kpop fandoms come up with when pairing their boys (GD-Seungri for e.g .. even the touches are identical — everything is so orchestrated)

        And i have to say Harry is very well media trained.. and a flirt..and yet very polite about it 🙂 .. interesting! he learnt well when others didn’t
