i did it again

i pierced another hole in my body. i went for a belly button ring this time. now we're up to 7 piercings. that makes me sound much edgier than i actually am - most of those piercings are in my ears.

i thought about the nose ring for about 6 years before i did it, but i've really only been thinking about this piercing for a couple of months. but it was definitely less of a committment - i mean, this one's not on my face. i'm pretty happy with it so far. the only thing is that i'm pretty sore and bending over really hurts. it wasn't such a wise choice to try to clean while home alone. i'm really hoping that tomorrow it will be a little better and i can finish cleaning my house for naw rooz.

actually, i'd really just like to get up from the couch, but i seem to have found a comfortable seated position and i'm afraid to move. i wonder if i should just sleep here like this.

I also had my navel pierced (and it still is...there's just no jewelry in it) and hoooooooo boy that was painful. I got dizzy after the actual piercing and it was pretty painful for about a week. However, after about 2 weeks it was feeling much better. Just remember to keep it disinfected. And don't let this scare you because it's normal, but it will take about a year for it to feel "normal." Mine was a little crusty until the one year mark and it all cleared up.

More piercings?! How Berkeley of you! Haha.
