State Fair Fun, nightmares
This past weekend Justin came to visit, and we went to the state fair. I'm going to summarize in words and phrases instead of sentences: funnel cake, turkey leg, cows, pigs racing, billy goats racing, rednecks, overpriced games, and policeman yelling out "ONIONS!" upon seeing a box of onions fall off the back of a passing golf cart. Doesn't get much better than billy goats racing.
Also, Justin decided to play that "fool the guesser" game to win me a prize, even though the prize is not even worth what you pay to play. Heh...he decided to see if the guesser could guess his age within 2 years. The guesser guessed that he was 20...and Justin is 23, so he got a prize. Yay for looking young!
Besides going to the fair, we also obtained and watched season 2.5 of Battlestar Galactica. I'm almost all caught up!
I had a nightmare recently where I looked in the mirror and clumps of my hair were missing...I had all these bald spots. It was horrible. Between that and the numerous nightmares I've had in the past about my teeth shattering or falling out, it would appear that I have a fear of disfigurement. It's true.
Ever since I had braces, I've felt rather protective over my teeth. It realllly freaked me out when my gums randomly started receding from my front lower teeth(it was a bizarre, rare side effect from some medicine I was on at the time) and I had to get oral surgery to fix it. Lately I think I've been shedding more than usual, due to stress or whatever, and I guess it sorta made me anxious about the possibility of losing my hair.
I'm ridiculously awkward with people I don't know super well. My brain freezes and I don't know what to say, don't know what to do. Every day something happens where 5 to 10 minutes later my brain has unfrozen and I'm like "oh crap! I should have said this!" The only way I survive is by telling myself that people won't remember all my little screw-ups. But I still worry. I probably just need more practice in dealing with people...more interaction with people I don't know well. I think practice helps.
