On friday I got my wisdom teeth out. They were impacted so they had to be cut out. It hasn't been funny. I hope none of you ever have to go through this. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain but this is driving me nuts. The worst part is being on pain killers. I feel like I've been high for days which just isn't fun. My mom was going to dinner the other day and I started to cry cause she was leaving me.
I've just been sitting around watching the l word and eating pudding, soup and popsicles. It'd be a good life if it wasn't for the fact that my mouth hurts.
I got a new bowl and hopefully I'll be able to take pictures of it soon. It's green and has a glass lizard on it. It's cool as hell and I named it oscar.

I'm so stoked. My best friend who is an incredible artist is designing me a tattoo. It's going to be of a sailboat and I'm positive it will be the dankest sailboat tattoo ever. The sailboat means a lot to me because one day we were sitting on the swings at waterfront park, and I said "Look at those sailboats just being sailboats."
This of course caused everyone to look at me, so I responded with "They're not frontin' or anything they're just being sailboats. They aren't trying to be tugboats or anything."
Amanda, the best friend told me that that was so like me. To notice something so simple, that sailboats are just, of course, being sailboats. It became this huge joke between all the people who were there and whenever we drive on the connector to the beach amanda asks me what the sailboats are doing.
It also became our nicknames. I am sail and she is boat. She once sent me a text that said "I miss you, without you i am just a motionless boat." When we decided we would run for president together and be copresident after our friends were discussing politics and we were laying on the car watching stars to avoid the very heated discussion. So we always said "Vote Sailboat '08"
This tattoo will be such a great reminder of the past year of my life which was a very life changing year and what a great friend I found in my old best friend's roommate.
I am so excited.
