   I’ve wanted to pierce my septum for a very long time. After getting two in my lip and gauged one of the holes in each of my ears to a 1/2 inch I decided I would pierce my septum. At the time I wasn’t 18 and my parents said absolutely not. My best friend even said she’d stop speaking to me if I got it (she doesn’t know I went today). So I agreed that a left nostril piercing would be fine. My best friend didn’t approve but ended up liking it.
   
   Since then about two and a half ears have passed and I’m twenty meaning I can sign all my own paperwork. I’ve gotten an industrial in my left ear, my tongue, two tattoos (well three but i covered one with another) and the bottom of my belly button done. I recently decided I wanted another tattoo but after realizing how expensive it was I decided that I would wait and save up. But I still wanted something new. I’ve recently cut and dyed my hair so that was out. my tattoo is too expensive right now so getting something cheap just to appease myself isn’t an option. I also dislike eye brow rings so i thought back to getting my septum.
   
   I almost went last week and myself/my friends talked me out of it. Until yesterday when i decided it was now or never. Well, Teri wasn’t in so I had to wait. of course Tuesday is her day off. My mom is very against it and I’m seeing her tomorrow so I said I’d get it today if 1. Teri is  in and 2. I can flip it up right away. Both were reality when i called Tattooville today.
   
   All day I was anxious and incredibly nervous. Piercing non fleshy areas terrifies me. I had already told my co-workers and friends I was getting it done so i kept telling myself there’s no backing out. My five hour shift dragged on at work, but it was finally three o’clock and I headed to the piercing shop. The first open spot had a sign “no parking 4PM to 8PM” being 3:29PM I said there’s no way I’ll be done in time and to the next block to park. I got out of the car walked the three blocks to the shop and was like OMG I can’t believe I’m going to go through with this.
   
   I got to the shop and said I was here to get my septum done and the guy sitting there said its the easiest most painless piercing to get and I’d be done in no time. Teri walked me next door to the piercing area. Set everything up and explained how she’d be piercing my “sweet spot” so no real cartilage would be touched. She instructed me to sit down and put a bib on me my first question was “am I gonna bleed THAT much” and she said no its just procedure for any above the neck piercing and told me to close my eyes, of course I opened them up right away and she said I’m serious you’re gonna tear up.
   
   She put the clamps on and said that would be the worst part (it wasn’t too bad). She didn’t even feel around with her fingers like I had read in other experiences, she said she’d be doing it for so long that she knows what the sweet spot feels like through clamps. She then had me close my eyes for real and softly counted 1-2-3. on 3 the needle went in. I kinda think I felt it go through two pieces of flesh but when I get pierced I kinda black out (not literally but mentally). It wasn’t what I was expecting it to feel like. It stung a little when she put the jewelry in but the needle itself wasn’t exactly painful, it’s something that none of my piercings felt like. After she screwed the ball on she said she was gonna clean it up. I ended up bleeding like most people have mentioned.
   
   She told me that no septum piercings are ever truly straight when they first get done because no one has a perfect nose and that this is the only piercing she’d encourage me to play with in order for it to be straight with my nose. She said the tissue where the jewelry is will form to the jewelry as it heals and by moving it it’ll help it set where I want it to. She said that this is the easiest piercing to heal just: play with it, and clean it a few times a day with water and a Q-Tip. She also explained to me how I could flip it up and down when I have to.
   
   We walked back next door and I paid for the piercing and tipped her. she said if I have any questions just call since I’ll know where she is. The guy was still sitting there and said “see I told you ‘easy peasy’”.
   
   This was my first piercing by Teri. I got my first lip ring at that shop 5 years ago when it was still Nova Piercing. Even though she had never pierced me before I felt like she was the person I’d feel most comfortable having do the piercing. When I got my cover up (by Dave at Tattooville… he’s AWESOME) she noticed that my industrial wasn’t healing correctly and gave me new jewelry and instructions on how to fix it, thank god because I was in so much pain from the original jewelry. so, from that point on I decided my next piercing (especially if it involved cartilage) would be done by her. Which is why I waited instead of going to another shop I know… This is odd since everyone I know knows how impatient I can be when I want something and how I usually rush to do what it is.
   
   I can tell you that if you’re thinking of doing it but are scared its gonna hurt, just do it. I’m horrible with needles (even with all my piercings and tattoos) and I still get nervous/nauseous when I go into a tattoo/piercing shop. On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d rate it a 2 or 3. It isn’t a pain that you’re feeling as it happens, its just something out of the ordinary…. I’ve had it only a few hours and i’m in love with it.
   
   If you’re in the area and want a piercing I definitely suggest Teri… she put me at ease and did a great job. Oh and she’s quick. I could’ve had that spot where it said no parking 4 to 8 because I was out in less than a half hour.

   saturday was uneventful, kinda. ash & i brought her itouch to the apple store. we weren’t able to get her a second generation, but she was able to get a new one right then and there instead of having to send hers in and wait for a new one to come… so that was a plus. i tried on some jeans, i didn’t get any but at least i know what size i am in levi’s and that i’m a size smaller than i was last year in pacsun jeans. i did get a top from hollister though. after the mall, i went home had lunch (pb&j, again.) and then went to ash’s… i ended up watching my friend mike get tattooed and then we went for breakfast at 10pm… it was fun, chocolate pancakes with powdered sugar, strawberries and bananas, yummmmm.

   today was totally nonproductive. i got up around nine:thirty, ate breakfast around ten, laid around, did some food shopping, ate dinner with my family, then jogged on the treadmill for thirty minutes… i didn’t wanna go on the treadmill at all, but monday i said that i wanted to start exercising three days a week and i didn’t wanna fail on week one, so i had to do it. after the treadmill, i did crunches showered straightened my hair and that kind of nonsense. oh and i burnt my finger on my straightener, oh joy. three hundred degrees of burning metal on my flesh, not enjoyable to say the least.

   i have work tomorrow at eight:thirty, ickkk.

   yesterday i spent the whole day with my friend ashley… it was nice, i hadn’t done that in awhile. she had her wisdom teeth removed on thursday so she didn’t wanna be alone all day friday. i was finally able to get my sushi, yummm :)

   i wish the rain would stop, but according to the weather channel we’re having thunderstorms all day.

   today ash & i have to bring her itouch back to the apple store so they can replace it. she’s hoping they’ll get her a second generation this time since they just sent her a new one in may and it’s having the same problem as the last time. it keeps randomly freezing and restarting and you can only hear outta one side of the headphone jack. i’m probably gonna get some shopping done while we’re there too… can’t go to a mall and not at least try to buy something, lol.

   day four.

   yesterday was mi madre’s birthday… she’s getting old, hit the big four three… we celebrated today.

   yesterday i wanted sushi… like hardcore craving a sweet potato roll, edamame, and seaweed salad. instead, i had coconut pancakes because i had to go with my bee eff eff and his mom to pick up her new car which instead of taking an hour or less we left at four:fortyfive and didn’t get home until after nine. needless to say i was a little upset. whatevs, i’m hopefully going to be able to have sushi tomorrow or saturday.

   today, i had work nine:thirty to three. you wouldn’t believe how much a difference it was getting up for work an hour later… monday and tuesday of next week i go in at eight:thirty again… i am not thrilled to say the least. thankfully my weekend starts tonight.

   after work i visited my grandma and picked up my jacket which came in today… i was finally able to get my jacket from twilight, yayayay! then i picked up my mom and took her shopping. she got diamond hoop earrings and in return i got an american eagle outfit (skinnies, flats, and a v- neck). i also got three headbands, two rings, a set of bracelets and a necklace from forever21. then we went back to her house for cake and now i’m back at my grandma’s.

   tomorrow i get to keep my friend ashley company while her mom is at work. she got her four wisdom teeth removed and her mom doesn’t want her to be home alone… this should be interesting.

   i’m also heading to new brunswick this evening to visit a friend i haven’t seen in forever. i’m hoping i don’t feel outta place since i don’t know anyone else there, but it should be a good time.

   day two.

   work was alright, i suppose. it went by pretty quick. that could be because my manager didn’t come in until ten minutes before i leave. tomorrow he’s there for five out of the six hours i have to work… i’m there again from eight:thirty to three. i hate going in at eight:thirty rather than nine:thirty. its odd how an hour makes so much of a difference.

   i went to the gym today; did nine.eight miles on the bike. not bad for my first day going again.

   my show flipping out’s new season starts tonight. i’m quite excited, i forgot that it started up again.

   i’m quite tired, i’ll probably fall asleep as soon as it’s over.

   day one of my attempt on changing my lifestyle.

   i did a little walk/jog kinda thing tonight, it was nice. i came home and did 75 crunches. i feel good about that. it’s a start. i’m no longer going to weigh myself everyday like i do now… that in itself should be a challenge.

   tomorrow, i’m hoping to get to the gym… depending on what time i get done eating dinner with my dad. maybe i’ll see if he can stop and pick something up for us on the way home… who knows we shall see.

   weeds this week was pretty good. i think next week will be so much better.

   nurse jackie on the other hand was awesome…. i’m totally anticipating next week’s episode.

   i can’t believe both of my shows end in two weeks… total heart break. i’m not sure when CSI starts up again.

   work tomorrow eight:thirty to three… not looking forward to it.

    i have sixteen days left until i go back to school.

    i feel like i’ve accomplished nothing this summer… for some reason i feel like there’s never anything to do. i’m constantly feeling down on myself. i’m constantly comparing my self worth to the relationships i share with people & that’s a shitty way to go about things.

    i think overall i’d like to change how i look at things and the way i go about them.

    1. i’d like to eat healthier foods & dedicate myself to a more serious exercise plan rather than looking to limiting what i eat. with that i’d like to do 30 minutes on the treadmill three times a week and atleast 50 to 100 crunches before bed… i’m looking to lose about 5 to 10 pounds or tone up and feel better about my overall appearance.
    2. i want to have a more positive aspect on how i look at things. i don’t wanna sit here and be upset over tiny trivial situations which have nothing to do with my worth as a person.
    3. i need to start reading again… any suggestions for a book?
    4. i’d like to pick up a new hobby… photography, writing, something creative that makes me feel moved.
    5. i want to get out and try new things. go to new places. not worry about how long it takes to get there or how much i’m going to spend on gas/tolls or the miles i’m going to put on my car.
    6. i want to live and be… and possibly find someone to share these new experiences with.
