i like my teeth where they are

I just spent somewhere north of an hour at the dentist's office, trying to decide which part I hate the most. That metal hook which painfully punctures my poor, sensitive gums, the polishing tool that sprays toothpaste all over my face, the inevitable nagging, my dentist's nose hair.

To be fair, my dentist is a perfectly nice and friendly old gentleman, but most people hate going to see the dentist, and I am most people. Much of my appointment was spent with an internal monologue which would have made the sweet-tempered old dental assistant faint dead away. An assortment of motherfucker!s, son of a bitch!s, and one sanctimonious bastard! that somehow managed to worm its vocabularied self through the haze of pain.

Now I am eating peanut M&Ms in revenge. Apparently, revenge is a dish best served with a colorful candy shell.

Anna, I've told you that I love you, right?

I didn't have time to comment on your last post, a post that sent me down my own paths of contemplation, love, and loss. It just hit me the other day that I'm NOT going to Japan next year and I'm NOT going to be with you. For so long, that's what kept me going. Especially when I was so sad that semester back at Witt. It's hitting me now that I'm going to be on my own in the land of Schwarzenegger. Holy shit, and you get to be with Gackt, Kimutaku, and all those pretty boys with stick legs. Hah. No really, what I'm missing the most is a future with out you.

Last time I left the dentist, I had three more fillings, one that had to redone three times because my dentist takes pleasure in retries. I was so disappointed in myself (hell, I don't know why) that I was crying a little as I checked out. The nurse's daughter was there and as I walked out the door, I heard her say, "she was crying, mom. I had a cavity and didn't cry." :P My mortification! Dammit, Jim! Give me more ice cream.

Miss Kay, you really frightened me for a moment before I realized that you meant THIS year, and not really NEXT. Because I'm still clinging to the hope that you'll do JET after Austria...? T_T

Also: screw that little kid. Just because she's a shameless little monster with no remorse about fucking up her teeth, doesn't mean you have to be! You're just more CONSCIENTIOUS. :)
