Big Talker - The Murmurs

My inbox has been a hive of celebrity correspondence. By celebrity I mean humble local celebrities. Which doesn't make much of a differece to me, if anything I love them more for it, I just didn't want you to get all excited.

The big names among the list include; Laura Vickerson, Jenny Allen, Denise Clark, and Andy Curtis. Dude, I think this is so cool.

The last couple of weeks I've been painfully aware that I am exactly where I need to be for this year. It's developing into one of the best school years I've ever had, and considering my expectations, that's a miracle. I am really, really happy.

That being said, I am stressed. I went to the dentist today with the intent of having three cavity's filled. [I won't get into the fact that I brush and floss at least twice a day and they just keep coming!] I was all ready, I was talking to the dentist who is by far the sweetest person I've met. She always remembers that I love books and we have these awesome conversations about what I'm reading because she has usually read it as well.

So she put in the first bit of freezing. Leaves me for about ten minutes, I feel a bit shakey but I listen to Ani and I calm down by the time she comes back. You see, I hate needles of any kind but when they are put into my mouth I HATE it. but it was all good, then she decides she needs to "top it up" okay fine I won't feel anything, or so I think, she sticks the needle in my mouth and I can vaiguely feel it but it doesn't feel bad, then she hits the nerve on the bottom of my jaw and I scream. I start crying but I get ahold of myself after a minute or two, so they commense, they start drilling the top of my mouth which is only half frozen and I scream again. Then they say "were going to have to top this one up too" and I bolt up and start sobbing. My mother back from grocery shopping at this point, and expecting to take me home finds me in the absolute worst state. I can't even talk I'm so distraught.

Anyway, I get calmed down, takes a half an hour this time. But I'm able to allow them near me again, and they finish the one tooth that is sucessfuly frozen and then repace the seal on the top tooth they started.

Then I get the brilliant idea to go back to school. I think in my subconscious I thought that going to english would make it better because I love it so much and i'd been looking forward to it all day. I got back to school a while before english so I sat in the pit with Mr. Jobb and Marina a we talked about books and I lounged with my head under my hood and I felt really good. Then I went to english, and the freezing started coming out of my mouth. Oh man. I felt so terrible. I stayed underneith my hood the whole class, much to the delight, or maybe horror of my teacher. I was able to laugh at it though.

Work, to say the least was unbearable. But I stayed. Now I must finish some of my interview prep, and homework and get ready to go off on my fabulous birthday weekend retreat the the condo.

Adieu!
