Of Braces and Bracelets...

[sisabet]

I went out with the "Wild Girl" (every office has one) from work and a couple of her friends yesterday. It was only supposed to be for Happy Hour, but somehow that turned into Happy 5 hour and a bit of bar-hopping. It was fun. I enjoyed it. I spoke to a hottie - aren't ya'll jealous and dontcha just wanna touch me? Actually - all I said was "Hey." So I don't know if it even counts. For what it is worth he said "Hey." back. Yep - I'm a big ole risk taker - that's me. I take my chances every chance I get.

So while we were at the Grapevine Dawn calls and she's home and The Boy is at his dad's and I'm all "Come on out!" And she is all, "I just worked out and I'm grungy and tired." And I'm all, "So, it's the Grapevine - doesn't matter, hardly anyone is here. And why do you sound all funny?"

Ladies and Gentlemen (I now have 2 - count em - 2 male readers that I know about. Whoo- Hoo for gender equality)I have an announcement of startling importance to tell you all:

drdawn - The Original Ms. I-Am-Brian Kinney - now wears braces. You heard me. Braces. On her teeth. Teeth that she thought were perfect until she saw an orthodontist 2 days ago and he told her they weren't. Her Life then turned upside down and she now wears braces. I'm still processing it all. She looks just like a little caphicacorn now. Seriously - the resemblance is now astounding and very confusing as I kept finding myself feeling a bit protective of Dawn and I wanted to take her shopping and buy her presents. I'm gonna have to work through those urges because I can't afford two Cappys. On my budget, I can barely pay for the one.

So Dawn showed last night after 9pm and I left around 10 because I was exhausted. She hung out for about 30 minutes after I left - she was talking to these guys. The braces must be affecting her confidence because she can home with no numbers at all. She might have to have them taken off.

When I got home I looked at the mail on the table and there was a package for me! A Present! And it is not my birthday or any holiday that I celebrate for presents (Arbor Day Gift - you betcha!) so I'm all bouncey already. I screamed when I unwrapped the gift from the tissue paper:

It was Brian Kinney's Fucking Bracelet!

That's right. Brian Kinney's Bracelet. I have it. It's mine. All Mine. Muahahahaha

How did I get it? valereix loves me, that's how. You might think our relationship is only physical since she has "licking sisabet" listed as an interest, but the love is there. We are like Brian and Justin and ourloveissopure that we now wear Brian Kinney's Fucking Bracelet. ::dies::

The bracelet is made for a man and my wrists are all puny (seriously puny - could snap like twigs if I arm-wrestled) so I wear it as an ankle bracelet. Mom always told me growing up that only whores wear ankle-bracelets and since it is Brian's bracelet it kinda make symmetrical sense to me. Mom also told me that a nice girl had no business at the Fair, but that has nothing to do with this whatsoever. I just thought I would share.

So far I've gotten one compliment on the bracelet today. I've kinda been hunkered in my cubicle and so not many people have seen it. But just know this one thing:

The tides are shifting.

Dawn has braces and an attack of self-confidence

I now wear the bracelet.

I AM BRIAN KINNEY

My world has been turned upside down!

It's a New World Order.

Undercover Brother here. Thought I'd get chromosomal for a bit, seeing as how you gave my gender a shout-out and all. I'd been quiet recently because I have the Evanescence CD and still like it. Speaking of music, I very much admire your Mary Chapin Carpenter reference. We just don't see enough of those.

Dawn has braces? Understandable, and not that uncommon, but are they visible? It's not so much of a big deal now that they make clear ones. Of course, she'll still sound like she has a speech impediment and may have issues with drooling, but some guys seem to like that.

Certainly the time will come when Dawn regains her confidence and wears the crown (tiara?) of Brian Kinney. So enjoy your temporary reign.

UCB!!

How goes it! Long time, no hear -- but quite understandable since you have been taken by the magnificence of Excrevescent. And here I thought it was studying for the bar that was responsible for your absence.

Dawn has braces. The tops are clear but they had to go full on metal for the bottom ones. Quite the look.

And temporary reign?? Why temporary? Oh yeah - it is me. I really don't know if I can wear the crown - it weighs heavy.

Undercover Brother here, twice in one day.

Well, the bar explains my absence until last week, and until now I wasn't yet ready to be an Evanescence defender before a pack of LJ women (oh, and they're all vampires).

Can I just say that Amy Lee fufills my occasional need for a Goth chick fix? Oh, she makes me wanna be Azrael, Prince of Sorrow...

Half metal braces, huh? Can she get past airport security?

Oh, and I said "temporary" because Dawn won't be wearing braces forever (though she may forget how to talk normally thereafter).

Sisabet, you crack my shit up daily. If I weren't already your bitch, I'd ask to be right now. ;-)

Thanks so much - but this has been bugging me for a while - who is that girl in your icon? Cause she looks so much like this actress that was on Days of Our Lives it is kinda freaking me out. I expect her to go steal her mom's baby or try to sleep with her sister's husband or some other nefarious deed and I am certain that is not fair to the icon itself. Context. Must have context.

Bail did a great DooL vid, sisabet - so it seems likely the icon might be from there. (If you haven't seen the vid, do. The source is lousy, but the vid is great.)

Thank you so much Kes! I did, in fact, I've done two of them. If you want to see them, they are here:

email: lumi@bailunrui.com
pwd: sami

The second one - Stand by You - has much better footage than the first one - Innocent. You'll need WinRar to put Innocent together... I'm sorry about that, but the maximium file size was 8mb. After you download both parts, just extract the from the first one and you should have the entire file.

The girl in my icon is the shaggable Alison Sweeny, aka Sami Brady from Days of Our Lives.

Lady gets a prezzie!

I'm so happy now that Sami and Lucas are finally starting down that path to supercouple-dom.

I am concerned - what are these braces in aid of? For surely Dr Dawn is perfect already.

Is this orthodontist in your pay, sisabet? (You can tell me ...)

Shhh Kes...

I broke down and got braces about a year and a half ago. My bite was bad so it was giving me jaw pain. The pain is pretty much cleared up although if I yawn too widely, I get a twinge or two. I get mine off in a few months. :D

I went with the clear braces on top like Dawn. Tell her that if she eats a lot of tomato sauces or drinks coffee, those nice, pretty clear bands will turn a nice, pretty yellow. Also? Anything green will stick to the braces.

My doc said 8-12 months, but I'm pushing for him to make it 6 to 8, at least for the top.

Braces are quite masochistic, aren't they?

[sue-donym.livejournal.com]

My doc said 8-12 months, but I'm pushing for him to make it 6 to 8, at least for the top.

My doctor gets offended whenever I ask how much longer I have to have them on. Like I'm not being a good, positive-minded patient. At this, I roll my eyes. However, because the experience has been relatively pain-light, I can forgive him for this one annoying thing.

(Oh, when they say they don't recommend soda? Heed their warning. It turns those clear bands brown.)

Actually - all I said was "Hey." So I don't know if it even counts. For what it is worth he said "Hey." back.
he was totally checking you out!!!
he wanted your bod.
