Holy Cows and Burning Meteorites...

OMC Guess what, peeps.  I...Just...Got...BRACES!!!!  I didn't know i was getting them today-- I only just had a consultation with the ortho- man (what do I call him?  not dentist, surely...) yesterday, and what do you know, i get off the bus and my mom is waiting for me to whisk me away to get some braces.  So I'm sort of excited, if you believe that.  I mean,  no more crooked teeth!  (Soon, at least.)  Also, no more hard candy, sugar gum, pretzels... but i can live with that.  I mean, its probably better for my health anyways.  But all i keep thinking is, "gosh dang it, I ate my last laffy taffy today, and i won't get to again for a year and a half!" (I guess i can thank TJ for lending me his quarters for it.  You can tell him that if you want, whoever reads this, I don't really care.) Anyways... nothing to do, too afraid to eat anything lest it get stuck in my new metal-- even though i am practically RAVENOUS and have been since yesterday night, i will live until dinner.  Ok... So... Kyra is OUT-- LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.  (and eat your vegetables, too, it'll help with the 'live long' part.)

Back to School... Or the End of Summer.

Yeah.  Right.  As if teens willingly give up the freedom of summer months for school.  I don't.  My friends don't.  But do you know what is strange?  we spend all summer dreading the return of school, (and the return of you-know-who's math classes) yet we also anticipate the day when we finally get out schedules... and then its like, "What do you have for fourth period?  Did you get into theater?  Which teacher do you have for english?  Ooohh, that's a boring class," and so on and so forth.  weird, huh? totally lame, but what can i say?  we're just teens!
