brace face

Aug 03, 2005 15:14

i have braces. i feel like i look like a loser even though my mom says that you can barely see them, then again she also told me that she liked my haircut in 5th grade. don't worry im not running around like a freak covering my mouth. i've just come to accept it.

for those of you that have never had braces let me try and describe what it is like(at least in my perspective):

first they put your mouth in this spreader thing, it sort of feels like a snorkle and then they scrub your teeth with this sand like stuff, then the doctors assitant yelled "ready for bondage!" (i felt like i was in surgery or something) i kept thinking this is my last chance, i could always just run out of here and then i wouldn't have to get braces. then i pictured myself running like a mad woman down boynton beach blv. with the snorkel thing still shoved in my mouth. so then the doctor came in and he put on the braces. then she took out the snorkel thing and told me to go rinse my mouth. when i looked in the mirror i still had a mark around my mouth from the snorkel and i thought that that was what i was going to look like from now on and i sort of freaked out (in my mind of course) thn she had me sit back down and she did the wires. during that part i felt like a lame walrus. there were wires sticking out everywhere. i was wondering if any kid ever like freaked out and stabbed themself in the eye or something(as you can see i have an overactive imagination) then she finished up and i got to go home. but right when i got home one of the brace thingies just popped off! so i called my mom and then the orthodontist and the lady told me "our earliest opening is at 2" (how cheap i was just there for goodness sake) so i went back at 2and they reglued it and the doctor just kept saying "strange place for something like that to happen, strange place" and i said "i haven't eaten anything all day, i swear" but they fixed it and now im just trying to get used to it. it feels sooo strange. it is a little sore too, but i'm poppin' down tylenol. wait till you guys see me you're gonna freak out.

the story from yesterday as promised:
my parents went to this protest at city hall against my mom's boss! when my mom told me i said 'don't you like your boss, he's a nice guy" and she said "yeah i do, i'm just going to check it out" so she and my dad went to city hall. my dad took pictures to show the city manager and everyone was getting all angry saying how he better not use those against them or else they'll sew! and all this other stuff. my dad said innocently "i am a citizen of boynton beach and i am here for the show." ha ha. i sort of wish i would have gone but they probably would have attacked me too. so now an angry mob is against my family b/c they want to get my mom's boss fired. i told my parents 'this must remind you of your hippie days" they said "what do you mean remind us, we are still hippies!" ha ha.

well i must go brush my teeth(seriously)-Renee
