So, uh. Up until a few months ago I always thought those jokes about British people having bad teeth were just, well, jokes. Then I started watching Doctor Who and happened to see, at around the same time, several British movies/miniseries.

Wow. Total dental fail on all counts.

How these people can be so beautiful and yet not bother to fix their teeth is beyond me. I thought nearly everyone had straight white teeth these days. Almost everyone I personally know does. And these people on these tv shows are ACTORS, whose living somewhat depends upon them looking good. I swear, though, every time anyone on DW opens their mouth I start gawking at their teeth, especially the lower set. It's like the dark ages or something. They really should just hire a show orthodontist to straighten that shit out.

Also David Tennant's nose is crooked and he has a wonky eye.

But it's okay. I still heart him. And think he's totally hot, despite his weird physical awkwardness.

hahahaha failboat Europe! I was at a funeral today, you should have been there, lovely examples. These women who wear nice clothes and diet excessively and still manage to go out with yellow, brown, enamel cracking teeth! I am not even exaggerating.

I have nice straight and clean teeth, but they're not white white. I still haven't got around to professionally whitening them (the five hundred euro price tag may have something to do with that).

Also. Please look at this picture. (http://pics.livejournal.com/stephanometra/pic/000gk48x) Second from the left, such spindly hands! NO I'M NOT TRYING TO INCULCATE YOU INTO BANDOM ... WHY WOULD I DO THAT? REALLY, I JUST HAVE NO ONE TO FAIL WITH. SO SAD.

Ahahaha, this sentence is an example of why I love you.

I totally think we had a conversation about tooth-whitening before. I shared with you my stories of PAAAAAAIIIIN. But it's pain that's worth it! (And FIVE HUNDRED EUROS? Outrageous!)

I'm supposed to be looking at the second from left in that picture? All I can see is the second from right and his AMAZING FACIAL EXPRESSION. And colorful bracelet. lol I think I had a bracelet like that when I was about five. Bandom entertains me, but I don't like the music from any of the bands so I'm not sure I'll ever be "into" bandom beyond reading your fic/fic you recommend and browsing the pictures that inevitably cross my flist.

On the subject of spindly hands, I have a friend who INSISTS that if you play guitar your fingers get longer. I keep telling him that it is LIES, but he won't relent! It's so ridiculous though, y/y?

And without even trying, too! :D

We did, I've been meaning to ask you more about it. Like: if I phone up the dentist, what should I be asking and what should I expect? (In terms of aftercare etc.) It may not be five hundred, but it's certainly not cheap. So I don't want to be ripped off and/or have all my teeth fall out.

I think the reason 'Europe' - especially Britain/Ireland - holds to the notion of natural beauty or lack thereof is the fundamental difference between our attitude and America's. America says: don't ever settle! Don't be satisfied! Go for all you can get! Including plastic surgery. Europe says: life is the way it is, anything else is sophistry and illusion. (I prefer the American version. And I made all that up, btw.)

BRENDON AND HIS PLASTICINE FACE! Oh, he's so cool. I am much in want for his bracelets myself. Such a fan of colour, me.

Haha, I'd say it's physically impossible ... but then I look at Ryan's hands - he's a guitarist - and I wonder.

OOH JAMES MCAVOY.
