Been out of touch again; some stuff's been happening on the homefront, but now that I'm done with school for the week, I can tell you something major;
I got braces!
That's right, I got metallic braces last Tuesday.
"Wait, aren't you like 22? Why'd you wait so long?"
Well, I wanted to wait until I got my wisdom teeth removed, which I did last year. Also, I wanted to wait for all of my baby teeth to be gone, and for all of my permanent teeth to be in.
Since all three criteria have been met, I decided to get braces. The orthodontist predicts that I'll have braces for two years, then wear a retainer for one year. If I'm lucky though, I might get these braces off sooner.
Now then, do braces hurt? Yes, and no. Right now, they don't hurt, but anytime I put pressure on my teeth, they do. Over time, my teeth and gums should get used to the braces, so they shouldn't hurt whenever I eat in the future.
Also, I can't eat certain things anymore. It's not killing me, but things are different now.
But even still, I am still the same xm0123 as before. I still love videogames, and I still really fucking hate Fruits Basket. God damn, why is that series so popular amongst Japanophiliacs!? Have they no shame!? That shit is intolerable! I must burn all copies of Fruits Basket now. Wish me luck on my holy quest.
LATE EDIT: My braces came off in March of 2010. I now have to wear retainers at night if I want to keep my teeth straight, but hey! I can eat candy again! And I still feel like hating on FB like there's no tomorrow!
