Because books.

Weirdly, even if I'm in sweats with no makeup on, I have earrings in, all four holes. And now the cartilage piercing, of course.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Silver hoops stay in my 2nd and 3rd holes, just like my silver necklace and 3 silver rings don't come off (unless necessary). The bottom holes are empty or match my outfit.

Trust my rage

I had to work hard not to take off my wedding ring every night for the first few years. I like jewelry enough but I want it *off* when I take off my dressy clothes.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I got my ears pierced as a reward for my first penance when I was seven. Right after my Hail Marys or whatever, my parents took me to JCPenneys.

I put a second hole in my own left ear when I was 13 because my mom wouldn't let me get it done. I took a pin off of my jean jacket (a silver phoenix with turquoise that I still have) and stuck it into my earlobe. No alcohol, no ice. Miraculously, I never got an infection. I covered it up with my hair. I'm sure my mom knew, but she let it slide.

I got my cartilage pierced in my left ear in college at a Piercing Pagoda in the mall. I never felt it, and it never gave me any problems.

Happy birthday, Allyson!

I don't recall how old I was when I got my ears pierced, but it was old enough I paid for it myself. I rarely wear earrings anymore.

No party for mac this year.

That's understandable given the stress of his acting out. I missed both kids' b-days last year so I feel kind of obligated to make them happen this year.

I'm about to have a cupcake. Since it's Allyson's birthday, I feel this is warranted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just the two cartilage sleepers stay in. As soon as I get home all the other jewelry comes off. Nothing else ever achieved any other sense of permanence because I couldn't train in it.

My pimp chain came close, and almost achieved it again, but I can't wear it to the ER in case they need to go into my neck (and rings would mess up them going into my fingers). Still, it's very comfortable and I deem it goes with everything. No matter if Allyson mocks it.

Spike would like it.

I couldn't train in it.

Yes, all my jewelry that stays on has evolved after quitting rugby.

Nora, I said that just that way for the Simpson call back.
