oh, the dentist.

So I've got a dentist appointment today, and I want to tell you I'm looking forward to it.

I keep groaning about it to my friends and mother, but inside I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to the sensation of success afterward, the feeling that I've overcome some difficulty--that I survived the battle field in my mouth.
I'm looking forward to the high from the needle anesthetics they pump into my jaw.
And I'm looking forward to the numb-mouthed cup of coffee I will likely treat myself to downtown.

And as always after a dentist appointment, I will be looking somebody to have a drugged up numb-mouthed conversation with.
