Since I'm Looking For A Distraction....

Okay, so my body has been in a lot of pain that last few days, so I decided to get my mind off of it by "writing." I'm still trying to figure out what I should write about, so I'm hoping by the time I finish this sentence, I'll have an idea.

Didn't happen. I thought that would really work, too. I still have a few "requests" to fill, but it's taking a lot of time (as usual) to think of how to "write" about those requests. I guess I can fill "y'all" (I use the term y'all quite often, I only put it in quotes because I have like 4 followers) in on what's been "happening" in my life since I last "updated." Speaking of followers, please take a moment to look at who is following me.... You should be done now. Yes, I am one of the followers. I have no idea how it happened, and I have no idea how to stop it. Please help me not look vain and tell me how TO STOP FOLLOWING MYSELF.

Well, I've started a new phase at my school. I am no longer doing all mannequin work (I do have to break out the mannequin heads every once in a while), and am working on real people. SCARY! I've been giving people manicures and pedicures for the past week and a half, and it's been a nice change. However, bending over all day to put polish on people's feet is seriously causing me some pain. I didn't realize being a cosmetologist would force me into finding a masseuse... especially when I'm on my feet all day! Feel bad for me!

Oh! And I found out that for the past 2-3 years I've had TMJ. What is TMJ, you say? It is: "an umbrella term covering acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the mandible to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment. Because the disorder transcends the boundaries between several health-care disciplines — in particular, dentistry and neurology — there are a variety of treatment approaches." I have NO idea what that all means... but basically my jaw is clenched all the live long day. I wear a dorky night guard every night (and wrist braces... sexy) to keep my teeth from grinding, and I have painful headaches all the time. I guess I'm a stressed out person? Wow. I'm a stressed out person.

And last but not least, I went to a casting call today with my sister, one of my best friends and her sister... and eventually the rest of their family came along and joined us in line (yes, they cutted. We tried making them feel bad!). And North Carolina is in freak out mode. I mean, before I found out they wanted extras for the movie that were from the area, I was determined to be a "stalker to the max!" I mean come on... a movie that's going to be bigger and BETTER than Twilight?! All I need to do is find out what Artemis is about.

And that... is my exciting life. Oh and my Mom talked to me about my bridal party line up today. Gotta love when your family makes up imaginary fiances!

Sorry this one was boring. I wasn't really in the mood to "write", but I needed a distraction... which didn't really help when I talked about my physical problems... especially the ones I'm trying to avoid thinking about. Well, wish me luck for the casting!
