Backing up, waking up, dentistry and cosplay plans

Currently preparing to back up what amounts to the entirety of my LJ on my new IJ account; may be making and doing the same with GJ sometime in the near future. While I'm at it, f'list, I am way too lazy to want to look up everyone who posted with new/alternate IJ (and possibly GJ) names, so if you want to make things easier for me and comment with them, I would not object? ♥? Edit: (...Holy fuck, it's 1045 entries. That's just. A lot. This may take a while o_O...)[/edit]

Woke up at 8:00 this morning; pondered whether or not to go back to sleep, as I was v. tired and I was sure class wasn't for another hour, or to just get the hell up and be done with it. Realized that if I went back to sleep, I probably wouldn't wake up on time, so I just went for five-minute catnaps, which I can do. ...And then some time around 8:20, I fell asleep for real and didn't wake up until 9:05. Well aware that I was in deep shit, and knowing that, tired or not, it was really better for me to go in to the first aid class late than it would be to miss it, I got dressed and out the door in record time and made it to school (with a reasonably good parking place) by 9:15. No speeding or anything :Db

...And there was no one in the classroom. So I looked at my schedule again, and lo and behold, my class wasn't until 10:00. I felt very silly (and also tired, but mostly silly). I stuck around until class time anyway, because opportunity to eat breakfast or not, I would've had to head back to campus in half an hour anyway and probably lost my parking place to boot.

Also stopped by the oral surgeons for a checkup this afternoon. My lip has regained sensation since last Wednesday, but still doesn't feel texture or hot/cold. Mostly it kinda tingles and itches/prickles, which I've been informed is normal and/or a relatively good sign that it's "healing". (My doctor had gone through similar nerve damage when she was younger, though for a different reason, and was able to tell me that, while the slight zing I get whenever I touch my chin/lower-lip will probably never go away, I will in time become accustomed to it to the point of no longer noticing it. Huzzah!) This means that I won't be getting my lip pierced (probably), but that's just as well, since it probably would've interfered with cosplaying anyway.

...Speaking of cosplaying, I now need to start making a pattern for an Aunt Wu costume. Because I've been wanting to for a while, and really, who wants to be a season out of date for Hallowe'en? I'll probably manage not to make Avatar-themed Tarot cards, but only because it would take forever even to draw just the major arcana. ...I probably won't be able to resist drawing a Three of Cups with the Dangerous Ladies, though. Note to self, double-check meanings.
