Yesterday I had an orthodontist appointment. Last month I got my expander off and I was SO excited I forgot to blog about it :D However yesterday I got some new bands on that connect most of my teeth together AND i got two packages of rubber bands because i need to center my top teeth a little bit. So i have this rubber band attaching my top teeth to my bottom teeth on the right side of my mouth. its a lot of fun. Yesterday was great, i was really excited because my orthodontist said that after i was done with the rubber band they would be finishing up. I am almost done with braces. :D Its been about nine or ten months since I got them on but over two years since the whole process started. Almost two and a half years. it certainly doesnt feel that long, thats for sure. I can't wait to see how great my teeth look without all the metal and rubber in the way xD
and these are my rubber bands. Made by Mercedes, go figure xD my dad said its the only Mercedes I'll ever own xD
In other news, I am participating in National Novel Writing Month. You may have noticed the box in the sidebar pimping their website and keeping track of my word count. For those who have no idea what Nanowrimo is, i'll explain xD Nanowrimo is a national event where people all over the country write a novel in the month of November. The goal is to get to 50,000 words by the end of the month. No editting, no perfecting, no worrying about quality. Its to get you to write more than you may have on your own and to hopefully reach the goal and finish your novel. So far I have a little over 17,000 words but I'm behind :[ To read more about it you can click on the picture or the widget on my sidebar.
The coolest thing is that in December, everyone who reaches 50,000 words will have the opportunity to have a copy of their book published and mailed to them after the editting process. That sounds pretty freaking sweet to me. ;]
Today I attended an online college fair. It was really confusing at first but I got the hang of it. Basically it was kind of pointless to me since I already know what I want to major in, I just need the school. But they did have some quite informative live videos about the ACTs and SATs, and financial aid and stuff like that. It was kind overwhelming to think about. In two years (hopefully? lol) I'll be getting ready to graduate. I just have to find a good art/photography school in Ohio somewhere. I dont think I want to go out of state but thats apparently where most of the cool art schools are...
(WHY THE FUDGE IS THIS SO GOSHDARNED HUGE?!?!)Moving right along... Fall Out Boy is releasing their new album titled Folie a Deux, december 16th. Pete Wentz, being the emo genius he is, has hidden five golden tickets in the pre-order cds. Yesterday he revealed the prize for one of the tickets is a hoodie, theres only one hoodie like this in existence apparently, from the music video for their single I would assume. He posted the thing about the hoodie with the video so I THINK that must be where its from. But I don't know. I'm preordering my cd tommorow. :]
Speaking of music I found some freaking awesome new bands thanks to my dad who introduced me to RadioU, an apparently Christian rock/occasional rap station located in Westerville, Ohio. I might have to do a post about some bands later but for right now I especially recomend Krystal Meyers, The Classic Crime and Fireflight.
Speaking bands and music xD I found the most awesome mp3 player. Its a Sony because I love my sony walkman so much. However it no longer holds enough music :P I found out that these days I can get an 8gig mp3 player that also plays video for $110. Mine cost $100, oh and its 2gig and doesnt play video or anything like that, lol. So this thing is next on my to-buy list. After I give my mom the $12 for the FOB album. xD And for some reason I want to spend the extra $5 and get some iPod earbuds off amazon just because i think they look cool xD But I dont want to spend the extra money for the iPod, lol. plus, mine is cooler anyways x3
I also think it would be smart to invest in one of the spiffy cases they sell. with my luck the screen would get broken.
SPEAKING OF SPENDING MONEY, I found out I can get my camera cleaned at a nearby camera store for only $30. That sounds good to me. xD So i can sit back and relax and when I have an extra $30 hanging around I'll get that done...
One more thing, I promise.
I started fund raising for Higher Things already. I decided to take charge this time and say "hey we have to get fund raising now" since last year we almost didnt have enough. This year we have double the kids going including me (which equals four kids, lol) so we have to do more fund raising but with our early start I think we can get it covered. Right now Im selling candy bars - most of which probably got sold to my family xD - and another family did some work for our pastor. We're going to do a bake sale at the end of the month and do a christmas craft/cookie sale next month. (Can you believe its almost Christmas already?!)
So yeah, Im uber excited for this years Higher Things. Theres at least four people going that I really really want to meet and I cant wait :] JULY HERE I COME. lol.
Okay I lied, I have one more thing.
I think I want to get my ears pierced again xD
okay im done, for real. honest.
except we got a new furnace. its really nice not stepping out of the bathroom out of a shower and getting hypothermia xD
SHUTTING UP NOW.

I was considering writing something... But I'm to much of a perfectionist when it comes to writing anything...
I know how that is :P It was kinda weird at first and all the red and green lines covering my novel still bother me xD But I try to ignore them, lol
Okay, I'm not observant. When you say you want to get your ears pierced "again," do you mean you want fresh holes, or two earrings in each ear? :)
Two holes in each ear
I actually just got home from getting them done xD
i was JUST gonna post about it :P
