this is strange, my novocaine face. half my face has no feeling, my chin feels like it could be a dead body. i've been fascinated all afternoon. there's a hole in my mouth where my wisdom tooth used to be, i'm amazed at the amount of pill popping this process requires.

josiah offered to give me his hot pink pencil today in half seriousness and i took it. it occurs to me that at times i'm capable of being utterly shameless in my lack of thinking about things.

i'm thinking of actually using the scholarship money to buy books. s lit looks really really fascinating, there's a lot of reading i would like to be doing. i want poetry anthologies, gimme gimme gimme.

i managed to strike up a conversation with my math tuition teacher. hurhurhur. from now on math tuition gets a lot more interesting and a lot less effective.

i've just ripped the silk stitches in my mouth and so it hurts to smile: i'm going to be very surly over the next few days. if i wake up tomorrow with a pain anywhere in my head, i'm not getting out of the house.
