a word on getting one's tragus pierced in the middle of a bitter-cold Wisconsin winter:

there have been less irritatingly painful* ideas. there have also been much more irritatingly painful winter-specific ideas (see also: running in the snow (or, better yet, on freezing asphalt) while barefoot, fixing a car wiper blade in the wet-snow-rain without gloves on (♥, fairestcat!), faux-snogging a metal basketball hoop pole), but there have certainly been less irritatingly painful ideas.

also, god almighty do ears BLEED.

but all in all, I am extremely happy. pictures later, when I have stopped looking like a sonic-boom-gun victim.


*by which I mean that I wouldn't say it hurts like a bitch, per se, but you know that ear-bitey feeling you get when the wind whips around your head and it's in the single-digits or below? imagine that with a fresh bit of shiny metal through your ear. OUTSTANDING!

omg that's RIGHT. obviously I am not a thinker. well I love it anyway.

did yours also act up worse the third day than it did day of and day two? I seem to recall that as being near to the natural course of piercings -- it's the way my navel one went -- and it probably also has sthg to do with my utterly outrrrrageous headcold at the moment. I am taking meticulous care of the bugger, as always.

yay piercings! :D
