Well, I had the piercing, and it hurt like nothing I'd had before. To cut to the chase, it went wrong and the barbell fell out of the piercing hole and it's impossible to get back in. So, I mopped up the blood and am now recouperating - can't actually see the entry site anymore even.
Hopefully it'll all be sorted out in a couple of weeks time and I'll try again. At least I know just how much pain to expect...
As the holidays seem such a distant memory away, I've changed the style to, well, brown.
No posts for ages, then what happens? Two come along at once. Well, such is life I suppose.
Some of the more avid or eager eyed readers may be aware that my boyfriend has a piercing. He had it done almost to the year ago now. I've decided that the time has come for me to follow suit, and as such I'll try and keep a diary of all the ins and outs up here. As for the piercing location itself - you'll have to wait until tomorrow :)
On one of my favourite websites/newsletters last week (b3ta) they featured a song called "London Underground". This happens to feature on an album for Imperial Medic's RAG week - whom I used to work for before defecting to another bit of Imperial.
Anyway, listen to all the songs up there, then buy it. It's ace.
