poisonwood

sometimes in summer i can't decide what to wear because nothing is just quite comfortable enough in the heat.

lately it feels like i'm constantly saying stupid things. as thought out of my mouth comes half-baked thoughts that make me sound hateful, arrogant or narrow. it bugs me. it makes me worry that i'm becoming someone who makes other people cringe from her incomplete sentences and off-hand comments.

sometimes brendan and i eat chocolate in the living room.

lately i've been wiggling my baby tooth while watching the tv. it makes me feel like i'm nine years old. my baby tooth is gonna fall out eventually, so why not help it along. i think i'm going to have to get braces to pull the adult tooth (which currently resides in the roof of my mouth) into place. no sense in delaying the inevitable when the inevitable will be better – a properly functioning left-side of my mouth.

sometimes i don't feel connected to myself if i don't make time to write.

the whole world is made of one unbroken line.

I wonder if you could get away with just a retainer instead of braces...

I had one tooth on top that grew in too far back and fell behind my bottom teeth rather than in front of them. I was able to get a retainer for about half a year and that pushed it up into place. Much cheaper and less of a hassle than braces.

well the tooth is only poking out of the roof, and seems to be lying down, so it will definitely need to be pulled into place. i'm not too worried since my work will cover most of the cost of braces.

i didn't know you had a retainer!
