   Ugh....
Hey everybody. How's it hangin'?

I did fairly well on my test in Civics today, at least as I far as I know. I knew nearly everything I needed to, so that's good.

Our Art teacher wants us to bring in 4 photos from our childhood for use in our next project.
...uh, not gonna' happen!!! I've tried all my life to make sure nothing of my past is seen by anybody! It's friggen' embarrassing!
Ugh, I hate my Art teacher!

I also got my "Spacers" put in today. -_-' Even though I only have em' on my back-molars, I've been afraid to look in a mirror. (Please see yesterday's post if you haven't already.)
I go in to get the full brackets for my first official bout with braces one week from today. Oh, the joy.
It turns out that "Spacers" are these little, tiny rubber-bands that are somehow inserted in between each individual tooth to push em' apart a little.
They're really, REALLY uncomfortable, particularly on my bottom-molars. My jaw's been drifting in and out of discomfort all day. I was fine on the car-ride home, hurting in the last half of Sci. Vis., lunch and the first part of Algebra. Then, towards the end of Algebra by teeth seemed to get really comfortable again for some reason. Afterwards they started getting irritated throughout Principles Of Business, and by the time I got home I would have given my left-leg to get them out of my mouth.
>_< I took 2 Advil's (that's 400 mg's) this afternoon, and my mouth seemed to be happy, but they're starting to flare-up again. My brain keeps thinking there's food in my teeth, which is a very uncomfortable feeling for me.

*sigh*, the worst part is I had a little chat with Kitchen (he's a Junior in my Sci. Vis. Class who's pretty cool, so we casually hang out when we're in the same place), who's had braces for 3 years (from 7th grade 'till last year).
He said the Spacers are the easy part. O_o; Spec-freakin'-tacular.
He also clued me in to the fact that every time I go in to get new bands put on, it'll feel just as worse as when I first got the braces on.
Basically, it all means this: Out of every month, I'll have 3 to 6 days where I'm in a dull, constant, lingering pain all day long, asleep or awake, trying to study or trying to draw, during any activity I'm trying to enjoy. Basically, that means I have a period now. >_< Just what I've always wanted...
Well, I've never experienced what you women have to go through each month (that should be obvious!), so forgive me if my comparison is off. But from what I do know, you're all brave souls for putting up with it; far braver then I. (I know a 16-year-old should probably know all the details by now, but it's kind of an awkward thing to walk up to a female peer and ask about. Where else could I learn about it? The internet? >_< That's not exactly something I feel safe Google-ing for...)

Gah, I need to do my Chemistry homework. It's already 7:00 PM (but it's only 2 problems, and it's the only thing I have due tomorrow, so no worries).

By the way, I need you guys to pray for LuckyLady123 for me (She's not on The Otaku, so don't bother searching for her.)
I'm fuzzy on the details, but she requested prayer for her family's ability to sell their house soon. So, prayer for her would be greatly appreciated.
A prayer or two for me as well wouldn't hurt either, if you can.

I'll see you guys tomorrow!
