Braces off, Stars Assembly, classes and dentist

Grrr! I am so angered! I typed half this entry and then livejournal was in read-only mode, I couldn’t post, and I couldn’t get my info back.  It would have been fine if someone had warned me first…

Oh well, I am in the mood now to re-type it all.  With some additions about today.

     Yesterday (Wednesday) I drove Janessa to school and then drove myself to the Ortho.  The took my braces off: Me thinking that wasn’t so bad.  Then they ground the adhesive off: Again, that’s not so bad.  Maybe the removal of braces isn’t as horrible as I’ve heard.  Then they started putting in trays of mold to make imprints of my teeth for my retainers.  The top one wasn’t so bad.  Then they did the bottom one.  It hurt like heck.  The metal tray was too small and they had to cram it over my gums.  It hurt so bad!  Then they did another top one and I practically choked because I couldn’t breath.  The crap was partially going down my throat.  Then they did some X-rays.  This took awhile because the machines were being butts but I didn’t really care.  Then the doctor put my bottom retainer on.  It’s basically a few metal particles glued to the inside of my bottom front teeth.  Then they tried on my retainer, it rocked so they just cut it shorter which works for me.  It’s clear, like those Invisalign thingies.  At first I didn’t want that kind because it looks so artificial as if your teeth are covered but now I’m really liking it.  They told me I had to wear it for 3 weeks all the time and then only at nights thereafter.  My next appointment isn’t until some time in August.  Sweetness.

      After I left the Ortho I had to use the rear view mirror to clean all the random crap off of my face.  It was discusting.  I drove myself back to school and I was only about 10 minutes late to US History. 

     Later, after 2nd period, we had the Stars Assembly.  (Our school’s talent show.)  The worst act was a heavymetal band which near the end felt as if my ears were being torn apart.  The next acts up from that were rap acts (or some guy just making noise).  Other acts that were enjoyable were piano, cello, singing, and Dance.  Josie Rogers (Former Fantine) and two other friends danced and sung to “It’s Raining Men”.  It was very cute, funny, good.  The girls wore really cute raincoats and throughout the song guys dressed in 70’s outfits would come out and dance in the background.  Another act that I really enjoyed were a few girls dancing to “Let’s get down to business” from Mulan.  I love that song (now it’s stuck in my head).  My favorite acts were Mary, who has an amazing voice, sang Italian opera.  The finale was the best of all though.  Someone dressed as Pedro came to the microphone and said: “If you vote for me, all your wildest dreams will come true.”  Then someone dressed as Napoleon came out and did the exact dance that Napoleon did in the movie.  IT WAS SO AWESOME!  It was just like watching the movie except for the fact at the end it really started to bug me that it just was not Napoleon.  But it was still great though.

     Ok, now on to today (Thursday).  I got to drive to school again and I’ll just move onto the classes that I have things to say stuff about.  In 3rd period (English) after some allotted time for English, we had an “assembly” which was basically just a movie we stayed in our classrooms to see.  It was on depression and basically just made everyone depressed or made them feel like they had the symptoms of depression.  My opinion? Very gay.  One good part though was when they listed people who were successful despite their mental condition.  It was great when they listed Edgar Allen Poe.  Lol.  The whole class started laughing.  So, I have a question for all my livejournal readers.  Are you a friend that’s going to tell me to get professional help if I become depressed?!?

     Now I wish to write about basketball class.  I’m really beginning to love it and am already dreading the day when I have to leave it.  It’s just really awesome because there’s only like 15 girls in my class so most of us are all friends.  I really think we are all going to become quite closely bonded.  Anyway, it’s fun. J

     After school I drove home and then had to get ready right then for the dentist.  After a bit I drove myself and Clint to the dentist.  Clint played Xbox, I checked in, and then read Reader’s Digest.  I was sad because I couldn’t find their science magazine that was there a few months ago…L  Eventually they called me back and it really wasn’t that bad.  Probably one of the best dentist visits ever.  I got to watch TV which basically took my mind off it and I didn’t have any cavities. 

     Blah, blah, blah, and then I came home and it’s been pretty much boring since then.

Oh yes, it feels great knowing that right now I have perfect teeth! Tee hee.  I've had so many x-rays lately though so I swear I'll probably sprout an arm from my head or something...
