i went to the dentist tonight and got a cavity filled. i must have some sort of superhero resistance to novocaine because he always has to give me more than anyone else to get me completely numb. he warned me not to eat anything until the numbness went away, which had stretched to practically the entire lower half of my face. by the time i got home almost an hour had passed and i was starving, so i started to carefully eat my crappy lean cuisine microwave pizza. the next thing i knew my lip was bleeding. it’s not a deep cut, but my lip is so swollen i look like angelina jolie. okay, not angelina jolie. but there’s definitely swelling. i could probably say someone belted me one and get away with it.
