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.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

Because books.
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I couldn't train in it.
Yes, all my jewelry that stays on has evolved after quitting rugby.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday, Allyson!
I pierced my ears myself when I was about 12. In my room with a needle and thread. It was a couple months before my mom noticed because I kept my ears hidden by my hair. They aren't even. The second set of holes were done by a Claire's in the mall many many years later. Never in a zillion years would I do a cartilage pierce or anything I thought would hurt because I am chicken.

I need to take a vacation in this car.
This car, however, is for msbelle. (scroll down past the cleavage)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy birthday to the incomparably talented Allyson!
