Swell...Swelling... Swollen...?

My cheeks are slightly swollen. It's been a few days now, about 4 days since I got my wisdom teeth extracted. It wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. Getting knocked out was pretty damn cool. I just didn't like the fact that I had to have the IV needle thingy in my vein for the whole day. That was...Kinda stinging.

So anyway after the whole numbness deal, my jaw doesn't feel too bad. It just feels kinda sore and restricted, but no pain. I guess I'm lucky? Eating is a bit of a problem, I can't quite chew, so I just swallow everything. That also means I can only eat soups, porridge, baby food... Yea mom actually bought baby food (and my bro sniggered. >.>). Actually, baby food doesn't taste too bad, just get the fruity ones, they have this natural sweetness to them.

The bleeding stopped on the 3rd day for me. Uhm, I don't think I bled too much...

So anyway now my jaw is a little more free, I can move it about more and now I can kinda smile. Really missing the ability to chew. And definitely missing the taste of meat. *sigh* Can't believe mom made burgers, fries and onion rings today... >.> Man I can't wait to be able to frigging eat again. Seriously.

So on Friday I'm getting my stitches out. I hope I can sorta eat by the weekend coz my cousin is getting married. And weddings=food. For now, brushing my teeth is kinda odd, I just get this nervous feeling like I'd accidentally brush too hard and open something up somewhere LOL. So I brush real carefully, after breakfast (so I can just brush and rinse with mouthwash at the same time) and once more before bed.

The only complain I have is this really weird taste of thread/twine/string thingy in my mouth... Is this normal? lol. I dunno, I really hate this taste. It's really just a slight hint, and only occurs when I yawn or breathe out through my mouth but I really hate this taste... >.>

Anyway, my meds are finishing soon, so I hope the swelling goes down. Also, gotta start practicing baking good cupcakes for my cousin's wedding. ^^v Too bad I probably can't EAT THEM... BAH that's what brothers are for anyway. XP

There goes my wisdom teeth...

Getting them extracted in like... 9.5 hours? I am beyond nervous. I'm not sure if I can sleep tonight. I'm not even sure -why- I am so nervous. So I'll calm myself by watching tons of videos of Tokio Hotel hehe. Ok breathe... breathe... This will be totally over in... 14 hours... Just gotta... breathe...

While watching Tokio Hotel, I saw how nervous they were backstage before a gig. Lol I totally remember how I felt before my drama thingy. I was just behind the set, pacing back and forth, chanting 'ohmagawd ohmagawd ohmagawd ohmagawd'. And my friend was like sniggering at me, coz he's never seen me so nervous before. I kinda feel like that now.

Ohmagawd ohmagawd ohmagawd ohmagawd...

Of cupcakes and pretty boys. For real.

Ok well maybe not cupcakes. I baked brownies like yesterday and added a dash of peppermint to it. OMG how could I have not done this earlier!? Oh yea, coz I didn't have peppermint essence. Anyway, I added peppermint coz, well, I like mint. Those were some refreshing batch of brownies I gotta say. Mom said it was like biting into candy. I take that as a good thing.

On another note, what is it with Germany and pretty boys huh? I mean seriously. As if Tokio Hotel weren't enough, now this. Heelllooo?? Enough with the prettiness already, save some for the rest of the world~

Gone Too Soon

I lost a friend on Friday. Well, Thursday night actually I think. I received a call Friday morning informing me of the tragic loss. Most of us couldn't believe it, we thought it was some kind of sick joke they were playing on us. Now how do I put this.
You were a wonderful friend. Always joking around, always ready with that smug, cheeky grin of yours. You towered over me and I had to crane my neck just to look at you. We made fun of you so many times and not once did you get angry over it, in fact, you joined in and made fun of yourself, which always resulted in the rest of us bursting out in laughter. You were immature yet mature at the same time. You could give sound advice to anyone in trouble or who needed a listening ear yet you could prance around like a monkey and act like an idiot. (Sorry ^^') You were like a brother to me and one of the funniest, warmest and most down-to-earth people I've ever met and I liked bullying you because you never got angry and you know I don't mean anything I say when I tease you.
I still find it hard to believe you're gone, and though I may be in denial now, someday I'll get over it.
And one day (hopefully soon) I'll stop bawling like a sappy baby over your absence (coz I know you probably wouldn't want anyone crying over you) and rejoice in the fact that you lived and I (and so many others) got to know you.
I'll miss you, you and your grin and your sense of humour. You were my friend and always will be and maybe one day we'll all meet up again to hang out and laugh at stupid things (that sometimes don't make sense) again. Rest in peace.

Coffee Choco Chip Muffin

Made muffins again. Well it was supposed to be for a friend's bday but since he decided not to meet us, I thought why not just bake the damned muffins anyway. I mean, goes great for breakfast or tea break right? Right!
So today's muffin is Coffee Choco Chip. It... wasn't supposed to have coffee or choco chip...It was supposed to be plain muffin but while I was rummaging through the cabinet for baking powder I saw the Coffee essence and thought 'OOooohhh! COFFEE!!!' So that's how the coffee ended up inside. As for the choco chips, well I still had some left over in the fridge so SPAM! And voila~ Coffee choco chips! Pictures pending. Once I get off my arse. Hehehe.
My room now no longer smells like apples, but like coffee. =D

Lemon Choco Chip Muffin with a Surprise!

What's the surprise? Well I added some pear cubes in some of the muffin. Why? I... I don't know... I was curious I guess... And I didn't use the canned pears either I used fresh ones. LOL. Yea yea I'm an amateur, I don't even know what I'm doing half the time. But hey, if it comes out tasting pretty good, who cares right?? HAHAH.
So anyway today I made lemon muffins. I wanted to do something that didn't involve chocolate (so my NS friends can somewhat safely eat the muffins, they need to stay clear of foods that are too unhealthy) but I decided a wee bit of chocolate won't hurt. Right? RIGHT? So I added some mini chocolate chips. And I'm kinda glad I did coz I think without the chips the muffin would have tasted a wee bland despite the wonderfully lemony scent it gave off. It tasted subtly of lemon. Not enough zest. I SUCK at grating citrus... So anyway I also decided to add some pears to some of the muffins coz I just thought, what the hell. I havent tasted those yet. The muffins are cooling as I type. =) I tasted a bit. Poked a fork and scooped out some muffin and chomped. Well they -are- MY muffins I don't see why I can't or shouldn't. >.<
I think the muffins would go great with jam. =/ Oh well.
And the funniest thing was, the recipe stated in the book was good for 12. I thought 12 was too little (lol I have a lot of mouths to feed HAHA) so I doubled the recipe and I STILL ended up with 12 muffins! Ok maybe coz my muffin cups were prolly a tad bigger...But still... >.< That said I'm glad I doubled the recipe or I'd end up with 6... Which is DEFINITELY not enough... I have to bring 5 muffins out tomorrow. (For Jason Dreamer Alice Gavin and Moi =D)
Speaking of Jason, it's his bday tomorrow. Which explains the muffins. And I know he likes chocolate so I added some choco chips. And since I'm giving one to Dreamer I thought I should hold back the choco. Thus Lemon Choco Chip muffins. Ta-da!!
Whew now I gotta think about what to wear later for dinner with some mates and then tomorrow for Jason's bday. Clothes clothes. =D
