heads up

braces suck.

whoever said they dont hurt a bit, obviously never wore them.

ive gone from being able to nibble things with my front teeth, chew tentatively with my back teeth to being capable of swallowing things whole.

oh the joy.

i feel like ugly betty.

can only hope that the concept behind 'look good, feel good' doesnt work in reverse too.

i recently have a lot to complain about.

what with 2 of my whiteheads having exploded into full-out, ginormous red Pimples with a capital P, much to my relief.

relief? relief?

yes, RELIEF.

because i thought i needed a little color in my face.

which is not an invitation for you to come and give me a black eye, btw.

before you start thinking im crazy, no, that is not the real reason.

pimples are easier to get rid of than whiteheads, fyi.

i hadnt, however, counted on the hooha that would be generated because of the 2 little red splotches.

ok, big red splotches.

in school people took one look and exclaimed 'WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?' as if i'd grown 2 noses and 3 lips instead of a pimple.

idiots asked if i got a nose piercing.

friends offered tips and advice.

'its going to leave a scar.'

yea, because i really needed to hear that.

nothing i went through in school, however, was close to what happened in church.

people shrieked with laughter, cried tears of mirth and tried to take pictures.

yelled 'DAWN HAS A PIMPLE!' and spread the word around.

now i know what to do when one of them pops one out.

and speaking of popping.

i ACCIDENTALLY popped both the pimples that very night.

and the fuss at home started.

i was so distraught i woke my mom up at 1am and we held a war discussion as to how to tackle the poor popped pimples.

and in the days that followed, my war advisor kept a close eye on the battleground and offered military strategies and tactics.

my father, whilst not as involved, did spout some good advice, like 'so the scab is still there eh?'

so yes all in all it was quite an eventful week for me.

realize i havent talked about chinese or op or pw, the words on everyone's tongues nowadays.

i just cant be bothered, honestly.

i'd be happy with that B i've always gotten for chinese, and pw is just PW.

no biggie.

which is more than i can say for my ex-pimples.

ex-pimples meaning they're GONE NOW, you can STOP GLOATING ALREADY.

sheesh.
