ohh man i can so totally relate to that. 12 years clean/ sober and my teeth still suck!!!

Ouchies!

ow ow ow...

hope the teeth are better and stuff -- i've had a lot of oral surgery and the hardest part for me is having to take like fucking meds when i'm you know, not gobbling the things! ... man that is not easy. i usually give a roommate the bottle. feels kind of retarded but it works for me.

Ah... teeth are for animals, we have blenders!

I would go to the dentist if I could justify the expense...

i have to go the the dentist soon

so you did Nova too, eh? How'd you like it, what city were you at, and how long did you stay? I'm in Nagoya and I've only been here a little over a month. I'm liking the students but I'm not too sure of the company...

Then drink it through a straw!

I'm having a tuna sandwich smoothie for lunch....

Yea, heath bar coffee crunch.... with marshmellow sauce and pretzles on top.

I also put in some honey maple barbeque ranch dipping sauce.

<cracks knuckles>

Ok, but stand back...

I'm a professional

No seriously, I am a professional chef and I used to work at a smoothie stand back in the day. Making me dangerously qualified...

You strike me as a reader, I'm going to pimp you some of my novel in progress. I would love to hear your thought. (Way off topic I know, but not everything in the world revolves around blenders, you blenderist!)

It's a fictionalized account of my time in the San Fransisco Rave scene in the late nineties.

I feel pretty distant from it now, it's more a novel about how the seeds of the person I am were planted. You should pen a paragraph or so, see how it feels, it can be very catahrtic, but it can also be self-indulgent and almost a form of wallowing. Timing is everything.
