a little less wise missing 4 teeth

i got back from vancouver last night, and this morning i had my dentist appointment to get my wisdom teeth taken out. i hadn't really thought about it much until i was sitting in the waiting room. i think the nurse sensed my nonchalant demeanour about it and asked if i needed to be sedated before they put the IV in. i'm no fool, i took those pills. i laid down on the chair, said hi to the dentist, he put the IV in, and the next thing i know, i'm waking up at home in my bed. wow, that's strong stuff.

the dentist requires someone to pick you up after the surgery, but since everyone i know was working, i said i would walk home. the office is literally 2 blocks away from my house, but the nurse wasn't going to allow that, so i said taxi. in retrospect, in my half-dazed state, i'm pretty sure the nurse walked me home. i don't know if she offered, or i just started walking when i got downstairs to the street and she had no choice but to follow me. i will have to bring her flowers to thank her.

i also loaded up on liquid food. i have juice, ice cream, and cans of boost. not a huge pudding fan. but right now, over 12 hours after my surgery, i'm not swollen at all. i'm not quite sure if i can eat solid food yet, but i don't look like a chipmunk. bonus. my food intake today consisted of orange juice and ice cream.

my trip to vancouver was spectacular. it was like old times being with the gang, but we're all grown up (in age, not necessarily in maturity sometimes) and living in different cities. it's still nice to get together whenever we can though. we said we should make a pact to all go somewhere together every year, but not to one of the cities we live in. somewhere different. that would be fun. i didn't plan this trip very well because there were other people in vancouver that i didn't even get a chance to see, sorry guys.

this trip has also made me want to move to vancouver faster. i've said before that i want to eventually live in vancouver. i've never thought toronto would be my home forever, and i consider myself to be here indefinitely, not permanently. but who knows what will happen. maybe the only reason i have such fond memories of vancouver is because i've always had a good time with the people i go with. it might be different to live there. although i don't think it would be drastically different.

we played this PS2 game at a friend's house called karaoke revolution. it's basically dance dance revolution, but singing. and the game judges you on it. i'm not a good singer, but i love to sing in the car, etc. i love this game, i wish i knew someone who had it and loved playing it as much as my friend did. rose and matt - you guys should get this game. and ed - they make an xbox version. the game has really new songs too, not just oldies.

i'm so not tired right now, hence the late night posting. i guess sleeping for 8 hours in the middle of the day will do that to you.
