i haven't been a great friend lately so i guess at the very least i could tell you that i love you and good luck for trials and that i haven't actually forgotten what you asked XP

can't guarantee that you'll be the first to see but otherwise you'd have to possibly wait until... next thursday? you should be honoured, seeing as i never (with perhaps... 1 or 2 exceptions) post photos of myself on my blog XDit feels really weird and when i try to talk with the retainers on - feels like i'm talking with my mouth full.

meh, thank God that i don't have to do anymore speeches for HSC assessments XD

when i first saw myself after i got them off it was so weird. my teeth looked SO WEIRD. i'd been expecting something less... weird. and i thought i'd know what they would look like after the braces came off but somehow it was completely different from what i imagined. they just didn't look like my teeth :(
*traumatised*

on the other hand, the first thing my mum said was, "you don't actually look that different! i thought you'd look more different!"

conflicting perspectives? (i cannot believe i just said that. as a random digression, yes i am so stuffed for english T_T)

quoting derek, "your teeth feel like slimy pebbles when you run your tongue over them". of course, he was trying to scare me, but there's some truth in the description XD at least they don't feel like they're all going to fall out, and i can actually eat =D (according to derek he had to eat non-solid food for 3 days because every time he tried to chew it felt like his teeth were going to break. that really scared me - i don't think i particularly like him anymore. not that i liked him in the first place anyway =D no idea what cath sees in him, hahahahaha)

but yay, another milestone in my life. and you're a part of it ^^ take care, God bless and be nice to yourself. because you are awesome =]
