lately i've had a new obsession:
dental hygine. don't laugh, it's true. it mostly has to do with the fact since i'm now "independent" from my parents, i'm no longer covered by their insurance (wah!). so i have this gnawing fear that while i'm uninsured, my teeth are going to get huge, gaping cavities and eventually i'll be forced to wear dentures at the tender age of 25. oy! what a horrible thought!

so for about a month i've adhered to my nightly tooth cleaning ritual: i brush, then i floss, and then i brush again.. just to make sure i get everything that i didn't get the first time around. the one time that i was too tired to clean my teeth, i actually had a nightmare about my teeth decaying and falling out. it scared me so much that i woke up at 2 am, jumped out of bed and started brushing my teeth.
