Skeletor

So I guess I'm a little obsessive about my cheeks. I've always been skinny, but until recently have had a relatively round, pudgy face. Three and a half years of grad school has made me a bit more gaunt, but it's been kind of nice to finally see a semblance of cheekbones.

Last night, though, I dreamed that although my cheeks had become really quite sunken, my face still looked kind of lumpy. I realized that it was because my cheeks were resting against three large teeth on either side of my bite, which meant that instead of gentle hollows under my cheekbones, I had these three vertical lines on each side. It wasn't a good look.

I think the solution is either better bathroom lighting or more truffles! Mmmmm, truffles...

Definitely better bathroom lighting is important. I'd rather shower in the dark than wake up to a fluorescent light in the bathroom.

Maybe you're retaining some anxiety about orthodontia as well.
