a toothy story

i don't generally share personal information online, because it's usually not such a smart idea. but today i've decided to tell you a bit about myself: in the very recent past, i have had braces on my teeth.
it was not pleasant, to say the least.
i would like to share with you a particularly horrifying orthodontal experience. it's a bit random, but that's ok.
at first, it was just like any orthodontist appointment. i sat in the waiting room, reading a boring magazine and staring at bored-looking people and occasionally glancing at the pictures on the walls of bright, smiling people with perfectly straight teeth. you know, i don't think i have ever, i my entire life, seen someone smiling in a waiting room. and all these posters were staring at me like, "Go ahead, smile. we're smiling, why don't you?"
anywho, so finally i was called into the room. i sat on that cool chair that goes up and down (gotta get myself one of those!) and the orthodontist, let's call him Dr. G., was about to start on my teeth, when suddenly everything went black.
at first, i thought i had passed out or something. but after a moment i realized that what i was experiencing was actually a blackout. i thought it was great- i would be able to push off the torture of having my braces tightened! but then Dr. G. said to one of the ever-present nurses, "Go get a flashlight."
when his order was fulfilled, Dr. G. instructed the nurse to point the weak light into my mouth, and then he went on fiddling around with my braces as if it were the most natural thing in the world!
i was a bit uneasy about this, because the light wasn't very bright, and i wasn't sure if he could even see my face, let alone my teeth. he, on the other hand, acted as though this kind of thing happens every day. (for all i know, that could very well be true.)
well, to make a long and incredibly random story short, it was not a pleasant experience.
do any of you have weird, tooth-related stories to share?

i'll just be quiet now

for a while now, i've been thinking about what to write. the blog is getting a bit boring, so i tried coming up with a new topic to discuss. and i can't really think of anything interesting just now. which is okay, i guess. sometimes, less is more, right? sometimes it's not good to keep babbling away about useless things.
you know what i've noticed? the more i talk, the less i make sense. often, i start off a conversation knowing exactly what i want to say, and knowing that it makes sense. but after a while, my sentences have less and less to do with eachother, and i start contradicting myself, and my conversation gets all...weird. and the fact that i often make up my own words doesn't help things.
so, maybe i should stop talking for a while. just give it a rest. i think my problem is that i have too much to say at one time. you must have noticed that even on the blog, i tend to get off topic. and i'm not even talking to anyone! so maybe i should just be quiet for a while
but don't worry. if i think of anything useful to say, i'll definitely say it.

what category do i fall under?

you know, humans are kind of funny. we do a lot of strange things. (i'm assuming that everyone who's reading this is human, though perhaps i shouldn't.) one of the strangest things we do is cast illusions.
and no, i'm not talking about pull-a-bunny-out-of-a-hat illusions. i mean we make ourselves think that certain things exist, even though they don't.
for instance, humans like to categorize everything. and by everything, i mean people.
in many minds, all people fall under certain categories. he is cool. she's a nerd. he is emo. she is a genius. he is an idiot. she is bad. he is good.
labels.
do these really exist? or did society just make them up?
i don't think that one word is adequate enough to describe anybody. people are so incredibly complex that it is impossible to completely describe someone with an entire book, let alone a single word. so why do we constantly do it?
why do we look at someone and immediately think, "that kid's a geek," or "that kid is cool"? what does it mean? and why do we feel the need to do this?
and what happens if someone doesn't fit any of the categories? is there a special "miscellaneous" label for him?
are all of us doomed to fit under a label? to be categorised like we're objects and not people?
and is labeling necessarily a bad thing?
what's up with it?

out of this world

We are aliens to aliens.
isn't that a strange thought? do you think the people who live on Neptune or Pluto have movies and books about Earthling invasions? maybe they're sending ships over here to try to find life forms on earth.
well, they'll find life forms, all right. plenty of them here.
you know, it's pretty cool that we managed to send robots to mars. you'd think that we'd have to be smart to be able to do something like that. but we're not. it's weird. if we're so smart, shouldn't we be able to figure out a way to make world peace, or stop crime, or end hunger? we can't, apparently. so how are we smart enough to figure out how to walk on the moon, but dumb enough to invent bombs capable of blowing a billion fellow humans to bits on the push of a button? it just doesn't make sense to me.
you know, instead of spending so much money putting robots on mars and sending satellites through space and putting men on the moon, i think we should be more concerned with trying to find intelligent life on this planet.

random nonsense

i hate wet water,
i like warm ice,
and i can handle dirt, just as long as
it isn't dirty.


a flea and a fly and a floo
were stuck, so what could they do?
"let us flee," said the fly.
"let us fly" said the flea.
so they flew through a flaw in the floo.


anyone here who isn't funcuzed doesn't really know what's going on.


i am the bestest at grammar and grate att spelling, but the best part about me is that i am incredibly modest, and have no ego whatsoever.
