My friend KAte and I made the journey to pins and needles to get some holes poked in ourselves... I got my belly done, and she got her ears done a second time. I paid for it, because I promised any bodily modification under $100 for her birthday. Haha. It's a teensy tad reddish on the top stud because I kept hitting it all day at work by accident (wiping food on my apron and forgetting the skin underneath is sensitive, etc. I have all day tomorrow and stuff to ice it a tad. I gave it a good rising with sea salt and warm water when I got home too to get rid of a bit of blood that had beaded around it. (I don't clot very well.)
anywho...
Here be photos.

I got a perrrrttyful iridescent stone.

And no. My mother does not know of this. So kuru, don't tell your mother, because I know she will call mine and bring it up in conversation. KAY?

On another note, after seeing Star Trek, I have gone on a Zachary Quinto bender. In the past two weeks, I've watched all the seasons of Heroes thus far (I just finished season 3, and now I feel lost and scared and will until the fall... ) I'm in the middle of So NoTORIous (It's a terrible show, but he plays a gay guy in it and he's flipping HILARIOUS, 'specially after seeing him as Spock first, then Sylar... Haha), and after that, I guess I'll watch season 3 of 24... Hopefully by the time I finish those, it'll be mid-june and True Blood will star up again.
