Unpierced NOMORE!

At least, a post not about wish lists!
I have pierced my delicate delicate ears! It was a nerve wracking experience that I probably should've done when I was much younger so I could have an excuse to cry. But actually it wasn't painful at all, except for the actual puncturing. And I guess it helped that a 5 year old did it before I did, and then I wasn't allowed to cry according to my friend. I even needed to show them photo id so that I could prove I wasn't a minor. It looks very nice, and in the words of my friend, "makes me look more feminine." Because I was oh so unfeminine before...

But yay for punctured ears. Couldn't imagine doing the belly button piercing though because it involves needles and much more blood/pain. So must take good care of my ear holes for another 6 weeks, and then I can don lame Christmas earings. But today, while undressing, I almost wrenched my ear off because I wasn't being careful and my earing got caught in the cloth, and then before you know it, lots and lots of pain, and then I lost the back of the earing. But all is not lost. My friend lent me a replacement backing. So all is well in the land of earrings.

Hmm, never noticed you didn't have pierced ears already.

Not to generalize, but it's just that nearly all girls had already done so when, as you said, they were very young.

In conclusion: so you're like a guy! :P I don't imagine young boys deciding to be all pimp/punk and having theirs pierced early--when they DO become pimp/punk/douche-y as teens, they would, or so I would think.

yes, it must make me like a guy. now I can't stop looking at ppl's ears to check out whether they are pierced and their pretty earings. I wouldn't call it deflowering though. Very excited to start up earing collection. Everyone seems to have pierced themselves already. I'm just a few years behind.
