Yes.
As I said, I got them today.
Of course, at first, they didn't hurt. Save for the fact that my jaws felt a bit heavier with them on, I almost forgot they were even there. Now, however, they only grow more painful.
I dread how it'll feel tomorrow, and the next day, and maybe even the day after that.
At least, when I went back to school, I only had to attend chemistry and multimedia.
Bro was fascinated. That or he was unsure of what to really think of them.
Mother was irked (at first?) that they put silver braces on me instead of clear. I, honestly, could care less, and I think I preferred silver anyway.
My chemistry teacher snickered a bit and told me to use the wax I was given. Trust her, she said, it'll help. Wax is apparently a godsend when it comes to braces.
Tomas flinched when I showed him and told me that it must hurt, and I gave him a no shit, Sherlock look.
Gwen told me to eat lots of ice cream to help diminish any pain—and she guaranteed there would be quite a bit of it in the next week.
Kacie told me that the front teeth always hurt excruciatingly in the beginning. Judging from the pain I felt today, I believe her.
My multimedia long-term substitute empathized. "I'll be honest," she said. "Braces are always the worst on the second day you have them, but, if it makes you feel any better, they're worse than that on the third day."
Yes, Mrs. J, thank you. I feel... loads better. D| Then again, I'm glad she was an adult I could get an honest opinion from. All the other adults continue to insist that they don't hurt—and how full of crap they are.
It feels unnerving to eat. Even eating ice cream, like I am now, feels odd.
It almost feels like I'm trying to relearn how to eat, if consuming food was ever a learned process and not a natural one.
Even eating ice cream hurts, damn...
I WILL PUNT YOU IF YOU LIED TO ME, GWEN.
Agh.
I can't wait until they come off. Already, I can't wait.
... You know, in, like, a year-and-a-half.

Lately, I've begun to wonder if Obama was actually the right choice for America.
Were we wrong to vote for him? (I know most African Americans in this country were wrong to vote for him simply because he is black.)
No, I haven't gone Republican. Hell, I was never even a Democrat.
I'm an Independent. (Maybe I'm not even that. I don't like politics, and most of the time I do my best to stay out of such affairs.)
Maybe my heart is telling me that we need an Independent President. Both parties of the U.S. government are corrupt, and neither one can satisfy all the people here... Maybe I'm waiting for someone who will take care of everything instead of just one set of goals, like the current parties do.
My future is at stake, damn it. I do actually care about that.
All the U.S. government has done lately is spent away money for bills I've never even imagined, even though spending money like that is part of what got us into this recession in the first place.
Wonderful "stimulus plan", guys. I applaud you for your ass-in-chair efforts.
I thought of an amusing, snappy letter to write to those idiots up there, mostly to make myself feel better.
Dear Congress,
Quite honestly, you're killing us.
You're killing me.
You're killing my generation, along with any chance we have left to a happy, less complicated future.
Why don't you count all the money in the world—in the entire world—and realize that we do not have that kind of money? America owes more money to other countries than anyone in the world actually has. We are in debt as an entire country, for the love of God (Does he sound familiar to you? I'm pretty sure you've complained to atheists that this country was built on the foundation of Christianity). DO SOMETHING SMART ABOUT IT FOR ONCE.
Thanks a lot for fucking up my future, tightwads.
I had a lot of faith in you newer members, after everything good I heard, but I suppose you had planned all along to turn around and bite me right in the ass when I offered my hand out to you for once.
Until I start hearing some good and promising progress from you guys down in D.C., you won't catch me watching you guys on TV anymore. All I ever hear on it is the same speech or the same load of crap or the same arguments about affairs that aren't even relevant when it comes to our economy (like that woman that had octuplets; who gives a shit, for crying out loud? Let her be a corrupt little bitch, for all I care).
I'd suggest you start using your heads correctly, the right way. TV's pretty popular and I hear they take you off the air the lower the rates are.
Ha.
Get bent,
Piss off,
See you in hell,
etc.
-Some stubborn but intelligent high school student that never liked you in the first place.
That'd be nice, but I doubt they'd give a shit, right?
Right. So I just keep it to myself.
I hate our government. I hate what they're doing.
It's so tiring anymore.
