i got braces on monday. the first hour or two wasn't bad, it just felt weird to have metal in my mouth. the next 36 hours was pretty much soreness, discomfort, and the like. i'm trying to keep off the motrin for as long as possible, because i don't wanna use the ibuprofen too often. an addiction to painkillers is the last thing i need right now.

it just hit midnight a few minutes ago. summer is officially 3 weeks long for me. august is going to waste much faster than i would've hoped. it's depressing. seriously troubling.

anyone wanna meet for coffee or something, to see the braces, catch up, and stuff like that?

i'm trying to draw this out, because the sight of text, and the thought of writing a lot is making my will to stay awake wear down.

i've been catching up with all the games i stopped playing a long time ago. i have all the eternal levels in Katamari Damacy now. Devil May Cry 3 is still hard like fuck. Mercenaries proves that senseless mayhem can still be fun.

errrrrrfghraghghfhgha... i'm running out of things to type and i'm not tired yet.

i've resorted to reading the links down there... only like 3 people have updated their sites in the past week or so, sruti, daniel, and marie. there's probably others i missed, plus people have their livejournals which i forget to check (sorry!).

it's a little voyeuristic to be reading into people's lives like this... but at the same time, feels completely okay because i know what they're talking about (mostly). a little disheartening too, to read and realize that sometimes, indirectly, without mentioning a name and just using general terms, it's all about you. one big reason i usually stray away from other people's blogs, or just skim, is because i'm a little afraid. when i read, i'm paranoid in the sense that i ask myself "is this really what they think?" and "oh my god this is about ME?"

it sucks. but that's the breaks, and you just have to deal.

listen to this song.
