Holes

Hail!

I credit myself for not being an extremist. I got 6 new ear piercings yesterday!! 3 along each ear,starting from the upper cartilage rim (helix stud) and evenly distributed along the curve of the rim reaching my original hole. They are awesome! absolutely fantastic!

The story:
2 weeks ago I had no intention of adding any new holes to my body. Just when I thought I’m safe of any craziness, I got this idea. I wanted to decorate my ears with jewels. I talked to my friend about it, she mentioned something about wanting to get another ear piercing. So we decided we should do it together.
Yesterday I just said : Let’s do it! so we went to a pharmacy, I took my veil off, and we did the necessary measurements and well, I didn’t blink.
I think I was in a special state of mind, I didn’t really think. I was drunk somehow. Having pierced the right ear first, I took a break. We did the necessary measurements for the left ear,and we did it. This hurt though, I’m guessing because I got bored or perhaps I realised by then that I am inserting needles in my ears. There was no turning back, and it had to be done.
My ears turned red, and they hurt. But I managed. I couldn’t even sleep on my sides last night lest I put them under pressure, needless to say, I really couldn’t do that because of the pain. It was a terrible night but I suffered in joy.

I love my ears but my ears hate me. They really do, but I believe they’ll get over it. I’m taking good care of them. They look amazingly BEAUTIFUL! I didn’t tell my parents about this project of mine, because I already know what they’ll say. My mother discovered my new ear decorations today,and it was too late. I think she finds them pretty, because she didn’t comment on their being otherwise. I love them!
My nostril piercing is healing wonderfully, I take care of it. It’s so nice. I really love my piercings. I’d love to get a tongue ring someday,but I have a feeling it will never really happen.

Enough of the technicalities,I am happy.

On another note,someone told me that my blog shows that I feel I’m superior to others. I instantly denied it. It made me think though, do I feel that I’m superior? Isn’t that just another introduction to racism for example? I think I am different,and that I think in my own way, but what happens next? Is feeling superior a natural result for this method of thought? I’m not sure.
I know I treat people nicely, but this naturally doesn’t mean I like them. It doesn’t mean I think everyone is worthy of my companionship,and this doesn’t mean that I think I am necessarily better than they are. I admit I am self-centered at times… but hey, aren’t we all? show me your saint, I’ll show you your biggest sin.
