My buddy Becca went all out with a cartilage piercing and a second set of lobe piercings!
Today, I went downtown with two girlfraaands and we had ourselves a shopping spree :) We'd just left with our goodies from LUSH (where we met the craziest saleslady ever. She literally squealed every time we purchased one of her "favoritest" products) and were walking down State Street when we neared Claire's. This prompted a discussion about how we've all always wanted second lobe and/or cartilage piercings. We then paused for a second, looked at each other, shrugged "why the hell not?" and then went in to get our ears done! We even held each other's hands during the procedures, it was that great.
I now have new little 3mm studs in my earlobes, about a centimeter away from my original piercings. Turning them feels a funny and satisfying at the same time. I haven't done anything girly and fun so this was a little sparkle of excitement (did I really just type "sparkle of excitement?" Jeez) in my week. And it's not even the piercing or the stud itself that I am the most fond of, it's the memory of a day well spent with people I care about that really makes me happy.
The only problem is that nobody will probably ever see my new piercing because my hair always inevitably covers my ears, even when I put it up. In fact, in college there was a running joke among my friends that I either a.) had horribly deformed ears or b.) did not have ears at all. The truth is, I do have ears and they are pretty normal-looking. But nobody believes me.
