does this sound stalkerish?

Posted on May 4, 2011

On Friday, October 16, 2009, I developed the biggest crush I’ve ever had for someone, on a boy I know nothing about. I had myself convinced that he liked me too. It absolutely made my day every time he said “hi” to me. Whenever I passed him in the hall my heart started pounding, and I got butterflies. I tried to slip out a “hi” without sounding overly enthusiastic. I went out of my way to walk by Mr. Worthen’s room in N hall, which is where he sat at lunch, hoping he might notice me. On Tuesday, January 5, 2010, I saw him holding hands with a girl. My jaw dropped, my heart broke, my stomach sank, and I tried the hardest I ever have to hold back the tears welling up in my eyes. However, they didn’t leave me enough time to get over him, because they broke up a week later.
Everyone knew I liked him, everyone except for him. Eventually, the word got around to him. What I believed to be the best day of my life was the day that he gave me his phone number and told me to call him. I tried to call him a few times, but he didn’t answer, and then claimed that he was busy. Then I realized that I wasted almost my whole freshman year liking a complete and total stranger. I realized that if I would’ve told him I liked him from the beginning, instead of waiting six months, I would’ve discovered sooner that I had no interest in this boy who made me fanatical. I would’ve known sooner that he always would’ve blown me off, and that he wasn’t worth the time and energy I put into pursuing him. I could’ve saved myself a lot of tears and embarrassment too.
However, he provided me with six of the happiest months of my life. I never got tired of scribbling Missy + Matt in my notebook. In my opinion, the very best feeling in the world is those butterflies that make you feel like you’re going to vomit, faint, and fly all at the same time. Every time I saw his smile with the prominent gap in between his two front teeth and rectangular-framed black glasses, on his precisely chiseled face, I couldn’t help myself from smiling a huge, incredibly dorky smile. It was a smile that probably made him wonder if there was something wrong with me.
I often wonder why I loved a complete stranger for six months. There had to be a reason, a piece of the puzzle that will create the bigger picture. Maybe I’m over analyzing the whole situation, but I know it will all make sense in the end. I’m sure he had no intention at all to hurt me. There are a lot of things he doesn’t know. I’m sure he didn’t know what a big part of my life he was, when I was probably such a miniscule part of his. He’ll never know that I memorized the date that I started liking him. He’ll never know that he made the most outgoing girl, who isn’t afraid to talk to anybody, tongue-tied and shy. He’ll never know that he was the biggest crush I’ve ever had, and a huge part of my freshman year. He’ll never know that I will never, ever forget him, and in five years he will have no recollection of me. Oh, if he only knew...

and no its not from a book, i wrote it for english class:)

Can you take Accutane while doing dentist home teeth whitening trays?

Posted on March 28, 2011

I've read that you're not supposed to do cosmetic procedures while on accutane or until six months after taking due to potential scarring of the skn. However, would the tooth whitening be ok?

What is most likely to be causing this back pain?

Posted on March 7, 2011

I have arthritis but it's minor now with only flair ups occasionally when it's cold. I walked in the morning shortly after waking up. I have been working and on my feet for a few days. My diet has varied a little in the past week. the pain is minor but sharp in the lower back area.

I'm just trying to cross-reference objectively, like House would, which possible factor is most likely the main cause of this particular pain. I also smoked a little green within the last week after not smoking for six months.

What to do about a really awful Gag Reflex?

Posted on January 6, 2011

All right, so... first off, let me just say, this isn't some weird sexual question.
That having been said, let me explain.
I've always been a bit sensitive (smell, a toothbrush too far down on my tongue.) But over the course of... let's say, the last six months it's gotten noticeably worse. Something as simple as setting a pill in my mouth for more than a few seconds is enough to make me physically ill. I know, this is all kind of gross.
But my question (questions) are, One... why has it gotten worse? And two, what can I do to at least lessen it?

How do I get rid of plaque??!! or is it plaque?

Posted on January 6, 2011

I brush and floss my teeth every day and go to the dentist every six months, but i still have the lighter white plaque on the front of my two front teeth...
Is it plaque?
If not what is it?
If it is how do I get rid of it?

Can you use whitening toothpaste while having braces?

Posted on January 1, 2011

I've had mine for a year and a half and will get them off by six months from now. I never knew you werent supposed to use whitening toothpaste,but now I keep reading it's bad and will most likely leave discoloration. Now, I'm not sure what to do because I only own whitening toothpaste and I don't want discoloration. Will it really leave a yellow/white spot? Thanks! xo
Should I continue using the whitening toothpaste?

Teeth whitening prices and the amount of time they last?

Posted on December 25, 2010

The price doesn't have to be exact.

I heard teeth stay white for six months, is this true? Does that mean you have to revisit the dentist every time they go back to their yellow shade?

Root Canal Question. Why me?

Posted on November 25, 2010

I have had perfect teeth all my life. Dentists have joked about how they "never make any money off my mouth." All I've ever needed is a good cleaning to "sand blast" the tea stains off my teeth. And now this! I am in my fifties, so my teeth have been working hard for a good long while. Severe tooth pain in a back molar sent me into my dentist's office. An x-ray showed one of my 12 year molars is in distress. I've got an appointment with an endodontist. But why me? Someone who has NO fillings, and only a bit of plaque that gets sandblasted and scraped away every six months. Why me? How could I have gone straight to root canal without even stopping at fillings?

I feel so "cheated" and like my teeth have declared war on me! Any dentists out there with some wise words?

Thank you.
Thank you "Dental Student". You're on to something.....

I did fall off my bike five years ago and hit my chin and really slammed my jaw. TMJ was insulted and I had to have stitches in my chin. Perhaps that is what set the whole thing off.
