I was fortunate to get a free ticket to go see the Miami Heat Vs LA Clippers game yesterday. I was pretty excited. It was my first ever professional game experience. The thing is I am no Big supporter of the Miami heat. Infact, most times I support the opposing team regardless of who they are just because. I am though, a Dwayne Wade fan. And NOT a Dwayne Wade the basketballer fan. *giggles*. I was also excited to see Beasley. Ten years younger than I was, with a almost "missing some screws" look still had me intrigued. Off we go, late as usual.

By the time we get to the American Airlines arena game is in full swing. We get searched, get in, locate the bar, find out seats (which were pretty good too) and got into the game. As I said before, I am not a HUGE basketball fan, I like sports. I've played since I was seven and know that being a sports(wo)man is an experience by itself. The showmanship and camraderie amongst the members and especially between Wayde and Beasley was amazing. It was like those two were synced. One knew what the other was going to do before the other even thought about it, giving the clippers a harder time in the midst of already hostile fans.

That leads me to another thing. Fans and their hostility. I understand that the Clippers are from out of town. They were unable to bring their supporters but lawd, to be mean just because amazes me. Lol. I got so much stink eyes from people when I clapped when they did a good layout. I realised that my life was better if I just stayed quite. One lady Vs over 1000 angry fans would not be a good result

The only bad thing about this experience is that my camera battery died after I took a movie of the Heat Dancers. They are another story. I swear whenever they came on, all the males moved forward in their seat. How you could dance in 1/2" shorts and tops, with boots amazes me and I've been dancing since I was three years.

After the game (the Heat won) we were given the opportunity to go meet a player. Who? I asked all excited. Fixing my hair. James Jones. WHO? Lol. Hey I did say I don't know much about the team. After some tough security we eventually got to meet Jones, saw Wade close up, Beasley past (seriously he looks a little special) we were out the gates. It was a good experience and I am willing to go again. Atleast I'll know one more player this time.

or better be..BRACES COME OFF DAY.

I wrote a recap of my life with braces HERE. Well as can be seen my December take off date was pushed back by my orthodontist cause he insisted he was still seeing a little space at the top. I wasn't seeing a space but I guess I don't have M.D after my name. So after much back and forth. Me telling him that I don't care about space at the top anymore... TAKE THEM OFF. And he telling me he's not cause when he does and I see a space I will be upset. At the end of the appointment, I had braces still on and rubber bands on the top alone. In addition I was to wear up/down rubber bands for the net month. Uhm.

One more month, and I wore no dam rubber bands. I am utterly tired of these dam things in my mouth. Lol. Just one more month yes, but I could not take it for just one more month. I was going crazy. I had already broken a few brackets eating things I was not suppose to. One more month, was sending me up a wall.

Tomorrow I will learn if my lack of discipline for just one more month will result in my orthodontist walking around with a big braces bite on his hand. I swear, if he tells me ONE MORE MONTH with these things I am going to resort to physical emotions. And I know he knows I would too. So for his life I think he should take them off.

I keep saying I don't see much changes in my face but I realise there are some. Well, I can see that my teeth are straighter down. They also appear smaller, which I hate. No one really recognizes me lol. I went to my uncles house for thanksgiving and 10 mins later everyone was like "Wait is Penze!" *rolleye*


This is me before braces and a pic taken last week:


















So I'm READY!! READY!! And Dr. Smith better be ready to take them off or to take on a BITE!!!


EDIT: My hair has surely grown though... lol
