pick your poison

Today in the teacher’s room we were making a list of supplies to order, and the one request above all was that we really need to stop ordering colored dry-erase pens that have different scents.
Yes, they’re cheaper because they come as a set. But the smells are foul. The black “chocolate mint” pens make me [...]

the continuing adventures..

Over the weekend I felt something kinda pokey on the left side of my mouth, right by the hole where I once had a tooth. I thought at first it was a knotted bit of stitching that was still working its way out, but it turns out it was actually a piece of bone.
That’s right, [...]

I admit it. I watch America’s Next Top Model. And I’d just like to make a quick note about one of the ladies in this cycle, Russian-out-of-Texas Natasha (not a mail order bride). I don’t know if she’ll make it through to win, but bless her and her struggle with our crazy language. Also, she’s [...]

esteem goes up, esteem goes down

God, this blog has been depressing lately. Oh well, here goes:
1. I’ve noticed that in the past few years I’ve really enjoyed having some friends who are at least 5-10 years older than me. This is because I feel young in comparison, and this boosts my self esteem.  I just realized this over the weekend, [...]

The title was the name of the main character I think, who was a teenager who was smarter than average and felt that he [...]

further adventures of chipmunk face

I spent the last 6 hours feeling sweaty and queasy, and when I almost retched when I tried to eat some soup I had to admit that perhaps I was reacting badly to the vicodin.
So I went back to the ghetto dentist, and the rude receptionists weren’t all that rude but I still had to [...]

chipmunk face

This is my new name for the next few days.
So the wisdom teeth are out, and did I mention that I was awake for the whole procedure? Have I mentioned that the last time I went to the dentist for some fillings I was shaking and crying before they even finished numbing me? So times [...]

this is probably one of those cry for help things

Friday I had the day off, but woke with the most soul-crushing bout of depression. During these times I’m sullen, agitated, jealous, and usually contemplating either picking a fight or cutting myself before settling into a hot bath.
I’m sure there was a time when my PMS wasn’t as bad as this, but for the past [...]
