We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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)

Oooh, lotsa pink cars.

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hec and my boss share a love of tiny European cars.

I need to take a vacation in this car.

The only thing I don't like about those cars is no front crumple zone.
