teeth

[mannikin]

all i wanted for christmas was one and a half of my front teeth and half of my left canine, and god-fucking-damn, i have them now. the dentist tapped the temporary crowns from the filed-down stumps using a blunt chisel. then he concealed the ruin of my gums and teeth with steel-reinforced resin bridgework. it was all very frankenstein

a gift? awesome.

glad to hear from you too. i'm looking forward to it.

Remarkably - my recent dental hardships have suddenly paled by comparison.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

heh. i have a new appreciation for american dental work. culturally, the japanese don't seem to care as much about the appearance of their teeth as americans do, as i have discovered in the most unignorable way possible.

you poor beautiful fucked up man.

come home. *sniff*

[mannikin]

i'll be home soon enough. probably leaving again soon as well. :)

i'll have you know that super glue has a long history of medical use. and as far as the dental work goes, it's not like i had a choice or any way to prevent it. the tooth was dead to begin with . . . it was only a matter of time before it broke.

See...the problem with reading your lj and not seeing you ever is that I can't tell which parts you're making up.

Super glue??!!!

Glad you're patched up. This account is fucking hilarious.

this account is overwhelmingly true. and the super glue part has witnesses (although they are all in japan). i should have documented the whole thing photographically, but when it began i had no idea how long it would take.

glad you enjoyed it, though. :)
