Ouch

My mouth hurts. Terribly.
Jamela suggested that I apply a bag of frozen peas or carrots to my face so that it stops hurting. I shall try this, thus why I am writing this blog. It is a reminder for me to take care of my face instead of forgetting about it and then ending up cringing in pain later on.
So my birthday is in nine days, and I have an audition/interview for UCLA in eleven. And then after that I get my nose pierced, since I'll be eighteen and my mom can't tell me no. Ha. Hooray for adulthood. I have decided that I want it to be either black or red. Or pink. Pink is cute, too. And for those who watch me on youtube, keep watching, especially if you like seeing videos people post where they are getting pierced. I shall be joining that oh so happy little cluster of people.
That's cool, I guess?
It's Economics class right now. I would like to go home. But I can't just yet. After school I am meeting with some drama peeps to work on revising the club's constitution with our new adviser. We're going to the cute little German bakery downtown. And I forgot to bring money, so I won't be able to purchase a chilled beverage to sooth my terrible gums.
I will bring Laura a quarter tomorrow, since I forgot to pay her back the dime that she lent me the other day.

Surgery

Yesterday, I had surgery to have some of my teeth removed. No, they're not rotten. haha. I have a small mouth and my teeth crowd, so for my braces, I needed to have teeth taken out to make space.
So the surgery wasn't too bad. I was on nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, so that really helped me to not freak out during the procedure. I'm really bad with this kind of stuff, so the laughing gas helped tremendously. It felt like a dream, being completely honest. Although, it's true; I kept my eyes closed throughout most of it. I just can't stand watching people over me in my mouth and all. It's uncomfortable. It's awkward. But the teeth were pulled out, no problem. I didn't expect the numbing medication to last so long though. I went in for surgery at one in the afternoon, and it was probably around six that evening that I was able to fully feel my jaw and lower lip.
But all is going well. The recovery is going well. I hopefully won't be able to feel that I'm missing teeth after a month or two with the braces doing their job.
