even in this day and age

Can you believe that with all the health scares, and all the health facts available, with all the knowledge we have about how germs work and how they spread, there are still people who enter the movie theatre bathroom, use the facilities and then walk out of the bathroom WITHOUT WASHING THEIR HANDS?

SICK.

here is my new piercing. hopefully you can see it!

eww. that's like, on your face....

So, it's been a while. Probably since about January 20(ish) 2005? But I've finally taken the plunge. I got another piercing.

Last week sometime, my sister IM'd me and invited me to go with her and her roommate to get 'bonding piercings.' (No, old ladies, that is not some sick sort of dirty piercing, it just means they will each get pierced at the same time, well, not at EXACTLY the same time, it just means a trip to the piercer for different piercings to each have a memory together or something....ok, too much explaining...) To make a long story short, they asked if I would go with. Well, I kind of wanted to go too.

I have four total piercings on my left ear, and only two on my right. So, clearly, I am unbalanced (in more than just the mental sense). So, I decided to get my tragus done. And actually, with Joel's encouragement and blessing! The tragus, for those of you unfamiliar with ear part names, is the fleshy cartilage bump between your face and your ear.

The piercing itself was kind of painful, but not nearly as painful or uncomfortable as my nose stud. And the piercer was pretty quick about it.

All in all, I think this is definitely my best piercing. Although it did bleed on the first day, and a tiny bit the night after, the tragus is easy to avoid bumping, and it looks really cool too. And it only hurts when I wink or squinch my eyes. If I had the pictures, and could put them up here, I would. Maybe I'll do it later.

My dad was kind of grossed out. My mom, I think, was secretly jealous. And one of my sisters uttered the gem that is the title of this post.

So that was part of my Friday night. And I am now a little more balanced. Well, outside my head anyway...
