DENTAL HELL

So I just got dental surgery yesterday. Ahahahaha... getting one's wisdom teeth removed from one's gums is not a pleasant experience. But it's tolerable when I cram painkillers down my throat. Oxycodone truly is a wonderful invention (Thank you, turn-of-the-century German pharmacologists), even if it does make me have to retype things like a billion times because my fingers keep fumbling over the keys. The doctors said that it should stop hurting in a few days. Yeah, they also told me it would stop bleeding after two hours. It took about eleven, by the way.

SHOW BIZ NEWS

So I tried out for The Alliance Theatre's production of "Beauty and the Beast". I did reasonably well, sang "Honey Bun" from South Pacific, and sounded like a raging lesbian :

Her hair is blond and curly,
Her curls are hurly-burly.
Her lips are pips!
I call her hips 'Twirly' and 'Whirly.'

She's my baby, I'm her pap!
I'm her booby, she's my trap!
I am caught and I don't wanna run,
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

But it makes sense within the context of the show, and I was mainly trying out for a guy part. Lefou, Gaston's little toady sidekick, but even that's aiming real, real high. I'd seriously just like to get a part, period. A lot of kids from my school have tried out, including the lovely ~accioalli. It'd so cool if we all got a part.

CURRENT EVENTS

So, when I was out, the AP World finals took place. And apparently, a bunch of royal unitards decided to form a little cheating ring and cause the rest of the course's finals to be null and void. What really irritates me is that I have friends who have been studying nonstop for the past two weeks for this final. And then a group of morons goes and ruins it for them. SO. STUPID.
