TEETH AND DEEP THOUGHTS

So yesterday, I got four teeth pulled. Since I'm getting ready to have braces, they needed to make room for my teeth to move and realign. If you haven't seen me before, I have fangs. Almost literally. My incisors are sticking out and are very big. At first I thought it was cool and tried to find some kind of glow in the dark stuff to put on them. No such luck. Now, though, they are annoying. Because the stick out, they don't get used to chew food, thus they've become very big. Whenever I smile I think "Well, now my fangs are showing." I can't wait for my teeth to be fixed!
Anyway, it didn't hurt because I got NINE shots of Novacaine. I don't know if that's spelled right. But even if it isn't, it wore off eventually. So now I'm taking medicine at every meal. Plus, I constantly have a little bit of blood in my mouth. When I woke, it was all I could taste until I brushed my teeth.

Other than that, I'm fine. I made my B-day list today. My birthday isn't even for a couple months and Mom is already telling me to make one. I don't have much that I want, except for some video games and movies and gift cards. When I was ten or so, I used to make lists that took up a whole piece of paper. Usually filled with Legos. I still love Legos, but I haven't gotten any for several years, so I stopped putting them on my list. Why bother adding stuff that will only make it harder to see what I really want?
I guess my life is kind of like that. I add all this stuff to my life and it gets in the way of letting others see what I value most in life. I try to be "cool", but it doesn't really work because I'm so nerdy. I take pride in being nerdy, but sometimes I get tired of doing well in school and not being able to be "cool". I know that being cool doesn't matter but like I said, I let stuff get in the way. I don't really know how I appear to others. Am I a prideful student? A genius? A show-off? A hard worker? A bore? I try to be all the good things but the bad things get in the way and I have to wonder if others have ever seen who I really am. Do I myself know who I really am?

Got to stop now. My brain doesn't like deep thoughts. They make my head hurt (or maybe that's just my teeth aching).
