So, remember when I got swine flu? Apparently, it leaves you with a bad cough for months afterwords. So that means, every time I get a cold, it's way worse than it would be. And the cough has left my lungs bad. So during P.E. at school, i have to walk everyday when everybody else is running. I come in last. It's embarrassing.

And-- for as long as I've been alive, I've had a speech impediment. I've lived in the same place all my life, but my speech impediment makes it sound like I have a Russian accent. So it gets annoying when people ask me, "How long have you lived here?" At least I can train myself to pronounce the 's' and 'sh' sounds, but no matter how hard I try, I can't pronounce the 'r' sound right. My last name starts with an R. So I can't even pronounce my own name.

And then my braces. I know when they're off and I have good teeth I'll be thankful for it and all, but it's just embarrassing. I get almost EVERYTHING stuck in them, and I can't bite into things-- like apples. I have to cut it up to be able to eat it. And I have hole where a tooth never grew in, it's noticeable. They're gonna put in a fake tooth, but still, until then I have an empty hole.

Anyway, I know my life isn't as bad as I make it seem, but it feels like it. Venting is how it gets better.
