The sky is falling!

Hmm... been a while since I even thought about this damn thing. Maybe I should write something, eh?

Well, life has pretty much blown chunks for the past month or so. I've spent at least a whole month sleeping in my living room due to a massive leak in my bedroom. It wasn't just a drip-drip-drip leak, either. A 2 ft. by 3 ft. section quite literally fell on my bed in the middle of the night, including approximately 4-5 gallons of rancid, nasty, disgusting water accumulation.

The landlord has told me that he's unable to fix it just yet, and that has me pretty fucking pissed right now. I was in a drug induced haze when he came by to inspect the damage the other day, so I really don't remember what he said, but it comes down to the fact that he doesn't think he can get a roofer over here until sometime in the spring.

Are you shitting me?? Spring??

Oh yeah... drug induced haze... better explain that one, I suppose.

I had a large section of a molar snap off a couple weeks back as well (during the Christmas break). I've always had bad teeth, but it seems shit rolls downhill, and a leaky roof just couldn't go by itself. I spent a week or so "dealing with it", when it finally became so painful I had to go to the emergency room to have them patch it for me. I spent the next 3 days going through the phone book, from A to Z, trying to find a dentist that would take me on as an emergency patient. Not a fucking ONE of them would help me. They were either not taking on new patients or out for vacation until sometime mid-January.

Finally, as a last ditch effort, I used 1800dentist.com and hoped for the best. Amazingly, they found me a dentist in my area, set up a call with them to contact me, and they called at 9 AM the very next day and set me up on a schedule to get it fixed. I cannot recommend 1800dentist enough. They helped me out in a situation where I was VERY close to severely injuring myself just to get rid of the pain. Thankfully I also have the best fucking parents on the face of the planet, and anyone that thinks theirs are better can go piss up a rope.

I can't find a new apartment as of yet due to the fact that I just laid out $750 on dental reconstruction, and will have to dish out another sum pretty close to that when the procedure is complete. For the time being, I guess my new fold-up cot and cold weather sleeping bag will have to do me. At least it's better than sleeping on the floor. Hell, at least I've got a roof over my head, a fridge with some yummy KFC in it, and my trusty computer to bitch about just how fucked up this winter is treating me. So, in closing, peace out, fuck off, and if you don't like it, you can go shove a rusty screwdriver in your rectum.

Did I mention how much I fucking HATE Christmas?
