I chipped the filling on my already-chipped tooth, leaving me looking all snaggled in the face. The filling was deteriorating and it was bound to happen anyway. I'm gonna get it right fixed up at the dentist tomorrow.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me about adult life, or maybe just about being in control of my own space, is how rarely anything is truly lost. Things may get disorganized, stuff might fall behind the couch, but if I got something in the mail that looked important and threw it somewhere, by god it's likely to be lurking around nine months later. This is a revelation when compared to living at home and having my mom randomly 'clean' my stuff every couple of months, leaving certain artifacts to never be found again. Though back then what with schoolwork I had a lot more random papers lying around to lose.
If I was to write a book of advice, it would tell you never to go to sleep when you feel tired, and instead stay up for hours waiting around to see if something interesting happens, until you become so sleepy you can barely see. It would not be a book of good advice, just one explaining how to emulate my life as closely as possible.
