i like to put my tongue in empty tooth sockets



hello!
i havent written here in awhile
i think it's because i have entered one of those "lazy" phases that i get
oh so often
you know, that phase in your life where you've just been really lazy to
do almost anything, from routinely cleaning your car, room, or bathroom
or doing any laundry
or any homework for that matter
well, i have been keeping up with homework, it's just
when i know i have to complete an assignment by a certain due date i just get
this feeling in me like i don't want to do it at all,
even though i have more than 6 hours to do it and it would be done with minimal effort
yet, i enjoy laying on my bed
waiting until the last minute to do things
@_@

i have just taken out all of my wisdom teeth (isssabouttime!)
i feel like an elderly person,
eating all of these liquidy and smooshy foods :[]

it seems like january and february really just flew by,
march is just at the doorstep
and speaking of march...


i will see you there?!!! :D

Can You Hear Me Now?




last week, i lost my voice for the first time
i developed symptoms of bronchitis,
then pneumonia

i always wondered why i woke up with a random fever
and then spitting out grey-green-yellow phlegm
ew

anyways, i made the stupid mistake of smoking cigarettes,
marijuana, even taking an ecstasy pill
on friday, my throat was so congested that when i tried swallowing
the pill with a large amount of water, the pill
got stuck in my throat
i was like... "WTF?! why wont it go down?!"

i later read that i should have refrained from drinking, ingesting, or
smoking anything that would dehydrate me
i did all 3
by the end of the night on friday, i couldn't laugh anymore
i could only say a few words until my voice turned into a whisper

this was very unfortunate for me the next day, since i worked
@ work on weekdays, i don't have to yell out names because
it is usually not that busy
but the day i worked was saturday, one of the busiest of them all
so imagine try yelling at the top of your lungs
trying to get peoples attention

throughout that night, with every word said
my throat hurt more and more
my voice disappeared more and more
i read that i should speak as less as possible,
to be a man of few words
but i did the exact opposite

after work i was so relieved,
but i had plans to see amandas friends dj at hypnotic
i thought, "tonight i cant be using my voice that much"
and, being around many close friends, that's hard to do
it was especially challenging too because of the environment (loud house music)
so to hear what i was saying youd have to put your ear to my lips

now losing my voice made me realize how
much i value the ability to speak and communicate with others
i always tend to talk and laugh by myself, but the last couple days
made it hurt to do so
when an enjoyable song would come on, id try to sing along but couldnt
laughing
one of my most favorite things in life
i could not do
i could not fully express myself
it made me feel so useless

but now, interestingly enough,
after smoking some weed, my
voice completely returned
it feels good to be back, i feel wholesome now
if there's one thing i learned:
cherish your voice
