By the way, I checked my journal and realized that I sent you a posting about 8 months ago to which you never responded. I apologize if the randomness of the posting concerned you, but I, too, now sport wonderful metal braces. I always had hoped you'd respond, particularly given how freaked out I was when I first got them on. Now I'm just the braces dude and thought I'd say hello. HOpe you are well.

Pardon my randomness, but I'm a college student who's - UGH - getting braces this week. I'm dreading it and moping around the dorm and was searching webshots under the word "metal mouth" to see how people look in braces. Are you in college with yours? Are you the only one you know, are you teased, is it a problem, etc? I know I'll be the only one in a dorm of 500 with them, which will bite! Any advice you can give a freaking out college guy would be great! -Dave (prexitalis@yahoo.com)
