I'm still in one of the seven circles of tooth pain hell, and it's getting worse by the day. I'm surviving due to a combination of Anbesol and Extra-Strength Excedrin, which isn't all bad. I just feel like I'm floating more often than not, and I'm not capable of doing much besides sleep and type. I can't wait until my dental insurance kicks in...at the job I haven't yet started. Meh, hopefully my old dentist will take pity on my horribly swollen face and inability to speak and set me up on a payment plan or something. Here's hoping!

My New Year's wasn't bad. It wasn't extraordinary, but it definitely wasn't bad. I spent the countdown on the phone with my friend Becky, and neither of us caught the exact turnover because we were watching ABC, which celebrates on east coast time. So yeah, we missed the new year and just gabbed at each other instead. Better than being an idiot at a party or something. I really hate holidays where I and everyone else on earth are expected to be a drunken fools and thought of as losers if they're not inebriated.

I don't have any official resolutions, as I never keep the damn things anyway, but I do want to make an effort to get my health on track. I've pretty much neglected my diabetes for 24 years now, and I'm not getting younger. It'll be baby steps for awhile, and I'll never be a health nut, but I do want to make a serious effort. I also want to quit hiding from any sort of social interaction whatsoever. I'm way past the partying stage in life, but I'd love to be able to face human interaction without breaking into a cold sweat. I think I'm making progress, albeit slowly, from the fact that I can talk to people I've met online on the phone now. Six months ago I'd have just not answered, so yeah.

I feel like I should be making some effort to grow up. I have several ideas on what I want to do with my life, but as of right now I don't really have much desire to start on any of them. At this point, starting a steady job will have to be enough. I guess I just don't want to get stuck here. I've reached the point in my life where I can physically feel time passing me by, and as it does I lose more and more of my life by doing nothing with it.

Okay, enough of that. It's only a few days until the new season of the L Word, and I'm excited about it as any nerdy lesbian should be. Mostly because these people are hot (well, the great majority of them are. There are a couple exceptions). Anyway, yeah. That's pretty much it from my end.
