"A mess in a dress.. or PJ bottoms"

One of my new favorites songs right now is "According to You" by Orianthi. The jist of the song is this: there is a girl who's ex-boyfriend has a list of everything he doesn't like about her (she's stupid, she's useless, she can't do anything right, she's difficult, she is always changing her mind, etc etc etc) and then it talks about this other guy that loves her because she's beautiful, incredible, always in his head, funny, irresistible, everything he ever wanted. You get the jist of it, yeah?

OK well at one point it says "I'm a mess in a dress..." and for some reason I've loved that line. Not because I am or ever will be voluntarily wearing a dress (don't get me wrong about that!), I really don't know why I like it, but I do.

And these past few days I have been feeling like a mess.. except in PJ bottoms... not a dress..

• Got my braces tightened super tight. OUCH. Didn't eat for 36 hours (and considering I eat every 3-4 hours like clockwork, I was dying!), ice-cream was too cold, everything else was too hot. I couldn't chew. It took me the entire lunch to eat half a peanut butter sandwich. It. was. ridiculous. LUCKILY, mac'n'cheese was edible during dinner tonight, and consequently I ate the entire box. The kind that typically serves our entire family with leftovers. Yeah. Told you I was starving!
  
• Tuesday night during warm-down at practice I was taking it easy and enjoying the long leisurely pace when BONK! I ran into Tori. Or Tori ran into me? I'm not really sure. I guess we had a misunderstanding about splitting the lane vs circle swimming? Now my nose is swollen and bruised. So when we have to wear masks in art. Not fun!
  
• School just needs to end. I get driven to the near point of insanity sitting in there for 8 hours a day. It's ridiculous. I need out! We aren't doing anything... but I really wanna be able to skip most of next week, so can't afford the absences now.
  
• I got a whopping total of like 3 hours of sleep last night because my mouth hurt. Therefore, I was running on minimal sleep and no food for quite a bit of today. I was called a ghost multiple times. And actually fell asleep during school for the first time ever! I'm thinkin this is something to be proud of? Don't worry... it was after a physics test.
  
• SPEAKING OF PHYSICS TESTS, I got my first "A" on one without a curve and ridiculous amounts of bonus points/extra credit the entire year!
  
• Our computer has been being super weird. Like annoying weird! So some Dell guy (who I'm sure was outsourcing from India, but whatever) wiped our entire hard-drive to fix the problem. I was majorly freaked out thinking of all my emails, thousands of pictures, hours worth of music (all bought legally!), hundreds of documents, and everything else that he supposedly was going to back up and restore for us. Not trusting him and worried about him messing up, I had gone and pre-backed everything up before he even attempted to. I was SO panicky those 2 hours though. Luckily, it's all back up and working. Even itunes! Somehow, all my songs got duplicated, but that can be fixed. I'd rather have 2X the amount of songs, than none of them at all! I still need to go download all my software and music conversion stuff, but it's all good. I still have my pictures and my music :)
  

So now I'm thinkin' I'm gonna go get ready to crawl into bed. School tomorrow, then teaching swim lessons! Swim meet against Coles Crossing on Saturday. (That is going to be a whole nother blog. GAH! Somebody's going to get a royal butt-kicking on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to giving it! bahaha oooh swimming :))

Goodnight!!
