does anyone know who this is????
YES. it's chomper from the land before time... (not one of the earlier movies--definitely from numbers 50-100). Well, that was mainly just to get you thinking of the word chomper. Because today, my little chompers aren't working at full capacity... Actually, they've been messed up for a while. ready for this?STORY: ages 0-12 lost various teeth, got some cavities, one silver cap (ghetto i know) finally got all my permanent teeth in around age 12. SO... on go the braces. braces, tears and rubberbands from age 12-14(ish). got them off-love my life. got my retainers-hate my life. bottom teeth still shifted, got a permanent retainer on the bottom, lost the top one (oops)... so, after taking 4 wisdom teeth out at age 18, and 7 years after the braces were taken off, my teeth are SO BOGUS. this results in a few orthodontist visits (periodically between ages 18-21) and the eventual decision to take my permanent retainer off the bottom and get a new one that they can adjust to fix my teeth. (appt. Nov 24, '09) in the meantime, i FINALLY start seeing the big kid dentist at age 21 (in utah) and he tells me i have 3 cavities on 4 teeth. (no bueno) (Dec 10, '09) then i go home, get molded for my retainer (Dec 22, '09), come back and get my cavities filled (Today! Jan 12, '10) and this weekend i'm flying home to get my retainer... (Jan 18, '10) SO BOGUS. do you know what that means?? as of JANUARY 18th i will have been to the chomper doctors FIVE TIMES in TWO MONTHS!!!! SO CRAZY! just so you guys can see how much discomfort i'm in, i've provided the following picture.
I want you too put your hand up to the screen and cover the left side of my face... normal right?? hahaha if only. now cover the right side... so pitiful. that's my, "why is this guy talking to me, when i have to go pee" face.. :) so yeah. talking is kinda hard, so is eating, drinking and blinking... if you cant tell even my left eye didn't get skinny at the edge.. that means i'm numb from about my eyebrow to my chin... and about 65% of my tongue feels like a dead fish inside my mouth. (GROSS)but whatev. no big deal. i'm just supposed to go out to eat with some friends in a 2 hours.. and this is supposed to be gone in 3-4 hours... really now? i hope my little chompers can catch up to speed before dinner. otherwise, i should probably take it to-go instead of letting it fall all over my face and lap. (although, that would be hilarious for my friends)
(on the upside... the THREE shots i got to numb me up didn't hurt hardly at all!)
That's all. i'll take a picture with my precious retainer when i get it this weekend :) (christmas and snowboarding pictures are on the way)

I love your new background.
1. I love the Chomper reference. Those Land Before Time movies are classic. Up 'til like number 23, that is.
2. I HATE the dentist. Although I never had to get braces or retainers, I've had a LOT of work done on my teeth. The summer after my freshman year at BYU I had to get 2 root canals. :( I'm not trying to one up you, I'm just saying I can relate to crappy teeth stuff.
3. You look hot in that picture.
Thanks Molly. :) i appreciate the sympathy. i have another friend who had a root canal the same day as my cavities... i feel so sorry for you and her.. :( i want to be given the gas the next time i have a cavity! OR ANYTHING! :)
I have never had any issues with my teeth but I went to the dentist on Dec 23rd and I had 3 cavities filled! It hurt and I know the numb feeling=gross. I was also told that i should get braces, whitening treatments, and start using mouth wash 3 times a day. But on the upside: My wisdom teeth came in and they don't need to be taken out!
