Dreaming sunny explanations

Sometimes you write about some things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. This is one of those posts.

You didn't really understand why I had to get a space between my front teeth, which I showed you in my last post. So let me explain: I had a very big over bite - that is the reason for my wearing braces now. To make the over bite smaller they had to get two teeth out of my mouth. In the upper pictures the two small teeth without metal on are those teeth. So those teeth were pulled out and I now have holes where they've been.

To close those holes the dentists have put a lot of elastic in my mouth. This has pulled at my teeth and made the holes smaller.

But my middle line, the one between my front teeth, was uneven because of one hole getting smaller than the other. So to get the middle line to its right place they had to give me a space between my front teeth. This will be closed once again in the next months.

Wow, that was a lot of text... I hope you understand now, though.

Near my home there sort of is a hill. When I look in a certain direction standing up there I can really see that the world is round. The sky is like a globe, round and all around. It is really fantastic. Up there the setting sun is prettier than anywhere else in the CITY - still not better than standing by the sea.

I got some tanning done this weekend. Maybe a little too much - I got red - but I am very pleased. I have never ever had tan lines and I have never been as brown as I am now. Summer is so great!

I have started having dreams of Japan every night. I always forget something, someone or whatever. I wake up feeling compleately stressed out. And it's been like this for a week. I have butterflies in my stomach all the time and almost can't stop smiling. It's drawing so close...

These skin and bones...x-ray version

These are pictures of my teeth before I had braces on. All my teeth still in my mouth and all... I have protruding front teeth, that's why I'm wearing braces now. I had an overbite of 6.5 mm before and last time I went to the dentist they told me I had gone down by 2 mm. In half a year. Crazy stuff.

You can actually really see the overbite here... It may just be my imagination, but I think that I can feel that the overbite is smaller now..

You may think: Random, a hand. But this was really important, because they had to see if I was fully grown to determine how my process should be planned. The bones would have space between each other in my hand, if I still had some more growing to do. So I had to have the harder process, because I won't grow anymore.

Tomorrow I'll be parted with two of my teeth. -4 and +4 they call them. It's the teeth that is number 4 on each side of the front teeth, counting the front teeth. I'm not looking forward to it...
