Grinding Down

[rejectomorph]

July is an inferno, and August its searing embers.

A wan breeze barely made the pines whisper, and the brown patches on the lawn crunched underfoot when I went out to watch the summer stars. A skunk paid a visit to the yard. I caught a glimpse of its tail as it was departing. Nobody got sprayed. The moon rose late, a lopsided smirk. I don't know what there is to grin about.

I'm not the least bit pleased about my damaged tooth. I hope I can get an appointment with the dentist quickly. It grows more irritating by the hour. Once in a while, I taste blood. If a broken chunk of the tooth comes out while I'm sleeping, I hope I don't swallow it.

My LJ Mind Map Is Ready. The code comes with built-in LJ cut:

I must try to sleep now. With luck, I'll have an appointment to get the tooth dealt with this afternoon.

I think maybe at the supermarket you can get some kind of gunk to put on a broken tooth so it doesn't keep depositing tooth bits in your mouth.
I wonder why I'm at the margin of your map thingy. If I talk really loud, perhaps you can still hear me.

I'll look into it. Swallowing tooth bits is almost like auto-cannibalism.

I'm not sure exactly how the mind map is set up. It doesn't seem to follow a discernible pattern. It doesn't appear to be based on real-world proximity, or duration of LJ relationship, or frequency of comment exchanges, or number of LJ friends in common, or convergence of LJ interests. Maybe it's some combination of these, or maybe it's just arbitrary.

I do know that the big, full color versions of maps that people who make donations to them get have lines connecting various user names, probably indicating interrelationships of mutual friends, but I so that might be the dominant factor, but I really don't know for certain.
