Dentists Make My Cheek Hurt

I had to go to the dentist after school today to have 5 cavities on my right side [4 on the top, 1 on the bottom] filled in. God, now that the anaesthetic has worn off, it hurts like a BITCH! I hope it feels better tomorrow. But guess what? On January 10th, I have to go back in to get the other damned side filled in [4 cavities]. Bah! My mother didn't get me an appointment in 4 years, so I guess that's what happens.

At first, though, the numbness resulted in the right half of my face being completely dead. My girlfriend found it quite funny, as did her mom. Eating is WEIRD, man. I basically couldn't use my right side. I mean, I couldn't even feel the food that was ON the right side.

So I went on Patrick Stump's website [http://www.patrickstump.com] [ex-singer of Fall Out Boy, one of my favorite bands and vocalists] and he uploaded two versions of a song from his February-bound album called Soul Punk. The song is called "Spotlight," and the versions are renamed "Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)" and "Spotlight (New Regrets)." He wants people to listen and vote on which they like more.

I chose "Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)," as did most other people [it's about 60-40 in the voting right now]. It's less electronic, and... I dunno. Sounds less solo artist-y, which for some reason I don't care much for.

Calc homework. >_<.

So I now have this class, independent reading. Essentially, read a book every 2 weeks and do stuff about it. My first book:

Courtesy of my girlfriend. It's about Bill, who hikes the Appalachian Trail, and his adventure along the way. I've only finished chapter 1 so far. She says it's good, so I'll take her word for it. Suggest some good books? [they CAN NOT have been turned into movies.]
