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.)
