I haven’t ever really done the thing where you check your search strings. I did today, though. It was… something.

I just knew it!

Dear Body,
Okay, enough… it’s been FOREVER and I’m tired of it. Nausea coupled with hunger? It don’t make no sense! I DON’T LIKE IT AND STOPPING NOW WOULD BE GREAT!

Love,
me

Happy lunar new year (and year of the fire dog) to any of you who observe.

I was born in a year of the dragon (1976) which seems to be an okay year to be born in, so far. How about you guys?

Did you know that you’re not supposed to cry today, because if you do, you’ll cry all year? It’s even sort of decreed that you should let your kids get away with whatever the want so as not to make them sad. Boy oh boy, that would be the day I left my kid at a babysitter’s or something.

1) I’ve stopped having the gross tooth dreams.

2) I’m still sick.

And the fake drummer (the band didn’t actually have a drummer, but there’s magic in music video production).

I know that I clench my teeth when I’m sleeping. I even have one of those weird mouthguard things that make me look like I’m preparing for a boxing match instead of going to bed. Of course, it’s in a box somewhere and I haven’t worn it in, well, at least a month (okay, longer, I admit it). I often wake up with my tongue all bitten to hell, or the insides of my cheeks imprinted with toothmarks.

The past couple of nights I’ve been having dreams where my two bottom front teeth (the first two I lost as a child, when I was barely 5 years old– my brother and I had an accidental collision while pretending to “skate” on the hardwood floor in the dining room) are completely loose and painful and I have to do everything I can to prevent them falling out. Usually when I have dreams like that I just wake up, think “eh. weird.” and go about my business of sleeping. Today, though, I find myself constantly probing those two teeth with my tongue, testing their fixedness. Although they’re not sore or loose or… anything (my dentist is always like “Damn, your teeth are awesome! They are hell of straight! Have you had braces?” and I’m like “No I have not sir and wouldn’t you know if I had, SINCE YOU ARE MY DENTIST?”) I still feel a little nervous about biting into apples.

It freaks me out.

I checked out a dream interpretation dictionary (yes, I have one, what of it?) and there’s alot of talk about great changes, making way for the new. Loose teeth represent holding onto the past. Front teeth being involved means being concerned with your appearance.

Whatever. My interpretation is that I either need to find my mouthguard thing that I paid $1000 for (no, not lately– back when I was in university and still covered under my parents’ dental plan) or go buy one at Canadian Tire for $9.99. Because this is getting old and there are pears in the fridge that I want to eat without having to moosh them up.

Rob and I are both sick. At first I thought it might be the food we ate last night because I was all barfing at school today but now Rob has a fever and headache, and I’m frickin freezing cold. It’s no fun.

In other news I have come to the conclusion that out of the three siblings? When my parents are old, I’m gonna be the one who ends up taking care of them. I know it. And with my luck Mom won’t be anywhere near as fun as Sophia.

It looks like religion is going to be playing a part in the governance of our country, if our new Prime Minister has anything to do with things.

During his acceptance speech last night, Stephen Harper said, “God bless Canada”. To which many Canadians responded, “Oh, Jesus Christ.”
