Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just wondering if you were talking about physical consequences (which it seems you were) or social.
UPS just delivered me a CD by an old old friend, and I made the liner notes! Now I just need to listen to it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's got to be uncomfortable to sit and lie in certain positions.
That might be the part he likes best. I don't know if comfort is the operative concept with elaborate piercings.
Emmett's fever has subsided. We did a walkabout in the neighborhood, scoring a popgun, a Hot Wheels motorcycle, a finger splint for him, a new 3 Stooges DVD, Mirrormask DVD and I got stuff to clean out my ears since I've been going deaf over the last couple days. And I flushed a small animal out of my head and it was gross but now I can hear again, huzzah.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Need sleep, but that's normal post-con. The con was great, with much good music, good signing(one of the guests does sign language interpretation of songs in a very dramatic, full-body way) and good friends.

What is even happening?

Well, once Jilli indicated it was most likely temporary, the issue really went out the window, but I didn't not want to answer the questions. I can see the discomfort or pain being a turn on for a limited amount of time, but not living with discomfort on any sort of extended basis.
eta...

To me, that is more complex that, "I want to do that."

Where New York Times columnist David Pogue latched onto this fascinating factoid, there's no telling. But as randomly useless bits of trivia go, this is definitely worth noting.
Pogue writes: Late tonight -- specifically, 123 seconds after 1:00 a.m. -- the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
And, Pogue points out, this moment will never come again.
Well, at least not exactly. In Europe, which renders the date before the month, this singular moment will occur next month, at 123 seconds past 1 a.m. on 4 May. And after that, it most definitely will never occur again.
Why do people keep saying that crap? 01:02:03 04/05/2106 fits the bill too. Not to mention that the RSS slug for that Wired article was:
Tonight there will be a moment in human history that will never come again. What will you be doing?
How many moments do we get to repeat?
I can see the discomfort or pain being a turn on for a limited amount of time, but not living with discomfort on any sort of extended basis.
I can see as how it might be a turnon. I mean, I accept that being peed on works for some people--extended discomfort could work too.
The album's not bad! Transdub Massiv's Negril to Kingston City. Hee. I'm on the liner notes of an album that features Meshell Ndegeocello.
It's the little things.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I also kinda want a tongue piercing, but I think the discomfort part of the healing process would drive me insane.
Gargling with diluted Listerine after eating or drinking anything (besides water) was not fun, this is true.

I know some people who are *heavily* into body modification, and the usual reason for them is because they want to/they feel they should look a certain way. silveraj on LJ is one of the primary examples I can think of. I would love to meet her one of these days.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
For those of you resigning, today is the last day of a friend of mine (who stayed a couple more days just for health benefits) and she's complaining that some partner won't stop giving her work. Her departure email is currently reading, "As some of you may know, and others of you seem to be having difficulty accepting, today is my last day at [FIRM]."

So hot. Somehow I'm less skeeved by plastic in a person's head than metal, apparently.

Damn. Back from silveraj's journal. That was intense. And the techno reggae iTunes is playing me is just making it more weird.
Transdermal implants rock. But I imagine shaving his (weird to say, since he has all his birth girly bits and seems to dress feminine at least some of the time) head is made a bit more difficult by them.
