Gums

[judecorp]

In keeping with my promise to take better care of myself, I have now completed my second dental check-up in a row. (This is a big deal for me, I've been known to go 5 years or so between dentists because I hate the dentist.) And - hooray! - everything was great.

The dentist applauded my impeccable flossing efforts and told me my gums were the best gums she'd seen all day. And there were no cavities and only the same "watch" areas that I had last time. I agreed to another disgusting flouride treatment (not covered by insurance, but oh well) and hope that it has some benefit because it tastes soooo nasty.

My dentist checks for cavities with a FRICKIN' LASERBEAM, so I guess it's not all bad.

We went to Applebees with Coworker Gina after work and Oh Em Gee, I ate so much I think I'm going to explode. Yuck. I wish I hadn't done that, but it was so yom yom.

I am incredibly amused by all of the people who are volunteering friends/relatives/spouses to my SpermQuest. :)

I only regret that I have no sperm to give.

But if you need some eggs, you know where to find 'em. ; )

Donating eggs is an incredibly involved process. I used to want to do it, but then I saw that you have to be, you know, fertile to be considered. DRAT.

SpermQuest sounds like a surreal yet addictive online adult roleplaying game.

Hey, are you busy 2/4? I'll be in Amherst and thinking of making a day trip to Beantown.

We'll have weekend company, because my friend Jodie is coming down from Maine to see Billy Joel with me on 2/4. So I don't think we'd be much fun, unless you wanted to meet up for lunch or something.

Melis is open-minded and all, but let's be honest: you know me. You wouldn't want another me, male or female, running around.

Ever.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, why not? You are one of the greatest people EVER.

[volumeat11.livejournal.com]

Thanks...but I'm not. I'm shallow and caddy and I like Joe Versus the Volcano.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay, you win. That Joe Vs. the Volcano thing is a big strike against you.

[amyura.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but does the laserbeam come from a shark or a mutated sea bass?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

chilean sea bass, of course

Perfect Feet and now Perfect Gums! You are the whole package!! :) (Well except for the Sci Fi thing.)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

From head to toe! :)

(Sci-fi is overrated.)

A cavity-seeking laser? That sounds even cooler than the vision screening machines tinder wrote about when he was in Japan. (So jealous, he stuck his face in the thing and it figured out his prescription without all that "A or B?" fuss that I'm used to doing.)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm jealous! I hate that "Better A? Better B?" crap!

I'm due again, but the last time I went to the dentist I had NO CAVATIVES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

I went to the dentist once a month for a year and a half to fix something like 18 cavities that I had at one point. But my teeth seem to be much better now. (I've improved my brushing technique, I suppose, but otherwise I offer no explanation for how I had so many... except that I hadn't been to the dentist for 5 years prior to that...)

I know, I suck.

I'd volunteer for your quest, but as we all know that would involve *masturbation* and, hence, *going to hell*. Or was that killing puppies? Or angels? I can never properly remember.

(Besides, you really don't want a long-haired geek with a They Might Be Giants obsession as a child. Or, well, maybe that isn't strictly hereditary. But it should be.) ;)

Hey now, I love TMBG. Viva la geekrock!
