Noserings and such....

So, I'm sitting in the Nexus on TIM, listening to kungfoogirl talk about her nosering. And it's reminding me that I wanted one of those once. And a tongue stud. Probably the tongue even more than the nose. I bought a fake nose ring to try out the look, and it was cuter than I thought it would be, even.

But I still can't decide, mostly for two reasons. For one thing, I can't figure out my motivation. For the most part, I'm pretty white-bread looking. Normal hair, clothes, make-up, blah blah blah. Am I wanting to get a nosering because I think it'll look good, or because I want to project something to other people? Something that may or may not even be the "real" me? Is it just one more thing that I'm doing to try to prove to someone, to anyone, that I'm "cool"? Am I just thinking about this too much? Probably yes to that last one, eh?

The second thing, and this one is pobably even stupider, is that I can't shake the feeling that either piercing is somehow inapproprate for me. Not that I think parents that have them are bad, or wrong or anything. And if I'd had one before I had the widget, I'd keep them, but there's something about going out and getting pierced now that just seems wrong. I'm wondering what other people think. Are random piercings mom-okay, or not? Am I just being dumb?

Oh Happy Day!

I just talked to my bestest bestest buddy in the whole world, and she had the two pieces of news I've been waiting for! She's finally engaged to her most wonderful of boyfriends AND they're moving back East! We lost touch for so long, and then got back in touch right as she was moving to San Franciso, and now she's finally coming home. Oh, I feel like celebrating!

Sometime, I'll tell y'all the story of how she and this boy finally got their act together and found each other. It's so sweet you need insulin, but it's great.
