Pierced!
In other news, I lost my nose piercing when I was in Lebanon. I was crushed. Of course I hadn't thought to bring an extra stud. And it fell out God knows when, so I totally lost it. Very sad. I drove everyone nuts for a while trying to track down a new one, but it doesn't seem like people pierce in Lebanon. There were lots of "fake" ones, but no REAL studs for your nose. Very sad.
Anyway, soon after I got home I went to visit my piercer. He said the hole looked closed, but try putting in my starter stud. No way. So today I got it repierece. Well, sorta. He wouldn't repierce it in the same spot, which is part of the reason I was upset in Lebanon (it was too close to an artery). But turns out it looks pretty darn good in it's new spot. Maybe even better. Hurray!
I was surprised by how, un-me I felt with out it. Like part of my identity was missing.
- First and second piercings...I think this one might be better...

Eeeee! You know I wanted a nose peircing for a while but I am sorta freaked by pain.
Just how much does that sting?
Getting pierced is really not that bad. My belly button hurt more than my nose because the needle is thicker and it has to pass through slightly more skin so it took longer.
But my nose wasn't too bad this time round at all cuz we didn't go through cartilage. Don't go through cartilage...bad idea.
Most importantly, it only hurts when they put the needle through so it is too fast to be too memorable (as long as you remember to breath, that's key).
I'm of two minds on lip rings. My brother has a labret (is that how you spell it - the middle one?) and it looks fantastic on him (my family is not piercing crazy, I swear)...but he is about as macho a man as humanly possible....I tend to think that facial piercings can immasculate guys so I'd check the mirror before getting it done...though I think you could pull it off, Tom.
Wow, that was long. Phew.
