pain

so i have not written for a few days. i started to write yesterday but all i could think about was my mouth, which is now being referred to as my grill. the braces are a gold alloy. and no george, i have not taken pictures yet. i will, just not until the pain goes away and i can actually smile again. joshua invited me to a picnic this afternoon and he just called to see what i would like to eat. i responded, "juice." there will be no eating until i figure out where to put my tongue. no worries, as joshua explained the first day i showed him, i have been wanting to lose a few pounds. yeah maybe 5, not 20. i can not eat! i have nothing more to say.
