Aww, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I'll definitely consider it. Every time I was about to in the past I just said "nawww...." and moved on. I'll see how much this potential new job pays and go from there. <3

I have nothing but good memories of Aurora's never-ending enthusiasm and perkiness, and to see that light being dimmed is so very sad. Not being able to smile, man.. I'm so sorry Aurora.

<3 Thanks so much - it's definitely been a nightmare.
I've tried everything I could to track down the asshole, but it was in a bit of a remote area in far Northwest Austin. I asked the apartment complex nearby if they had cameras, and they just laughed. Classy.
I still smile, but not a teethy smile. But, yeah, it definitely took away 99% of my perk. Or hope. The situation was made worse by the timing. Ohhhhhh the time, hahah. I'll explain more on that below.

Yeah People really suck! I think similar has happened in Austin a number of times, but with much worse results (death). I'm lucky to be alive, and he wasn't going overly fast. I think he was impatient that I was crossing the street to slow? I have no idea. He was going fast, stopped when he saw me, and then like kept going again while I was STILL crossing the street.
I'm just going to guess that he was really drunk?

In the meantime, consider whoring yourself out to closeted married men. Oh, and have you checked out local dental colleges?
<3333 Everyone is slowly convincing me to maybe do it. I'll think about it over the weekend. I guess I'm partially worried my ex will find it. I know I shouldn't care, but eh.
Which leads me to...the timing. It was a few months after a pretty insane breakup. The relationship lasted nearly 8 years, so it was rough. That's a horrible time for it to happen, but the worst part is that they worked two rows down from me. So, I got to come into work for around 6 months looking like I got beat up.
Hell, even 6 month down the line I still looked like this:

I eventually got the two front teeth shaved down, but since then (it's been like 3 years), the chipped tooth is pretty much a nub. It broke off a lot the other day.
I guess it should be "lucky" it was mostly molars the were affected, but that makes eating challenging.
I guess the right side is the most painful:

It's hard to tell, but the bottom two molars are just nubs, which break more each time I eat. So I get a little bit of 2spicy bits of teeth with each meal.
And here's the other side...which is pretty much nonexistent:

Sigh. I feel really gross and weird sharing these, but maybe it's good therapy. I'll likely take take down the links tomorrow.
But yeah, I think the damage occurred due to the gritting of my teeth when I hit the pavement. It's hard to tell, but pretty much every single tooth was chipped in some fashion. Or cracked down the middle, which isn't visible in the pics much. Surprised some of the teeth have held up! Though I have a crown hanging on for dear life.
They are also shifting, which realllyyyyy sucks. I'm trying to workout a good plan with the doctor. He could work on the top arch first, for cheaper, and then a year or two later I could do the bottom, which would be more pricey. Blahhh, I better get back to work. Thanks for all the encouragement and sweet words, everyone. I genuinely appreciate it, as I've not really had anyone to turn to after the breakup. I've been a hermit.
<3
I took all your French Toast.
