oh my god. i have to listen to soothing music right now to calm myself down. i have been up since 6am...due to a certain someone named BRANDON. last night, somehow, though everyone hates this kid, he wound up passed out in laura's bed (unbeknownst to laura who was soundly sleeping). then at the bright hours of the morning, brandon starts thrashing around, yelling (in his sleep, i don't know). then he starts kicking things around...so i yell at him to wake up...didn't work..he just mumbled some incoherent babble and began thrashing around again. then he knocks shit over, kicks my COMPUTER...and starts yelling again. so i couldn't take it anymore. i got out of bed...and once he realized he had woken me up...he gets up and goes in the bathroom. he then proceeds to stay in there for 45 minutes...randomly shouting things...by this time, i want him out of the apartment. so keith and chris decide they are going to trick him into going outside, and then we'll lock the door behind him. well, that worked, only we forgot to give him his shoes. so he starts pounding on the windows (we live on the first floor) and BREAKS the window. great. so now we have a pissed off, hungover, guy breaking our windows. i yelled at him through the broken glass to go home...and he yells that he needs his shoes. so i threw him his shoes, and he finally disappeared. mind you by this time it is 7am. way to early to be dealing with that crap. so i just decided to come into work...craziness. will the drama never end???? just for the record...i am totally not mad at anyone other than brandon. it is his inconsiderate punk ass that i hope goes to hell. and now for the cinnimon bagel...mmmm

sitting here at work...listening to music...this song goes out to ****. it's perfect. it's an mp3, so if you don't have a fast connection, don't download the song. it's around 4 mb or so...it's a great song though, and it makes me think of him every time. *sigh*

Ohmygod, I'm sooooo tired. I'm at work, and this job of mine isn't helping me stay awake one bit. I work in the fast-paced, cutting-edge, awe-inspiring, wonderful world of barcodes. I find it hard to imagine a subject that is more mundane and repetitive... It has inspired my haiku for today:
"crimson hate pulses
all of my being rages
barcodes incense me"
Thankfully, I will be leaving here in mere minutes.
I did pick up Liz at the airport, and if anyone has been reading the comments on here, then you know that Liz is now officially my girlfriend. My Grandparents would cut me out of the will if they knew I was dating a Jewish girl. Actually, they'd not really like the fact that I'm agnostic either... and I think they'd actually hire a hit man if they learned who I really voted for. :) Well, I still love them because someday, I'll be as set in my ways as they are. Except I'll be a lot more embarrassing for my children and grandchildren. I can almost hear their future voices, "Damnit, Grandpa! Stop pinching the nurse's butt when she tries to put in the catheter!" Aaaaaah, the memories to come, and then to promptly forget the next day because of the alzheimer�s. :)

woohoo! dot comments rules! it was really easy to configure, and it looks awesome. so now if you want to comment on anything i've written...click on "whatcha think" :) you can add comments to any post, even in the archives...awww yeah. :) i commented on it earlier, but last night i had an odd dream. i dreamt i was in a play...but that i joined it at the last minute...so i didn't know any of my lines except for a few...and i didn't know any of the choreography for the dances...but it was a really bad play so no one noticed...but steve martin was in it...and he was the only good person in the play...and in one scene, he decided to improvise and started dancing with me. so i went with the flow and we danced...it was really fun :) then afterwards, steve martin told me he was impressed with how easily i had followed him...and how i should be in a real play with him...but then i woke up...but it was a pretty sweet dream...what it means, i have no clue...but it was still pretty cool... :)

sorry andrew, the pig just wouldn't work. i have it set up to display the flower only once per day...and so when i tried to add the pig, it wanted to add a picture for every post...so if i posted multiple times in a day...there would be like a million flowers...so i figured changing the color of the text would work the best. so now anything written by andrew will be shown in blue. :) that will help to tell when it's not me writing.
anyway back to what's going on...this morning was operation hide the kitty. last night we found out we are having a city inspection, so the kitty had to go...poor thing. he just got home and his little paws are really sore...but corinne, being the good friend that she is, let us hide him at her place...so rather than trying to fight with him to get him into his cat carrier, i just scooped him up and carried him to the car. that worked out to be much easier :) i think he liked it better too...i have been majorly stressing the past couple of days...and being woken up at 5:00 in the morning was not helping. two roommates of mine need to realize that running around the apartment screaming and laughing is not considerate to those that are sleeping and need to get up at 7:30. save it for the weekend, guys. or at least for when i'm not trying to sleep. :( on a lighter note...i have been thinking about adding comments to my posts...so people can defend themselves or just comment randomly...i think that would be kinda fun. so look for that soon :) alright, back to work...

Yuppers, this weekend was a blast, and for proof; I actually spent more time sleeping on the couch at Charlie and Chris' house than I spent sleeping on my own bed. It's better to crash a friend's place than to crash on the road, I always say. Here's the quick run-down:
A big group went out on Friday and did an impromptu bar crawl with cheap beer, karaoke & pool, in that order. Then Saturday was pretty laid back with a little bar-B-queue with some old friends and then a movie at Chris&Charlie's. Sunday was a doozie though; I got brunch with the Crew* then headed down to the Gay Pride Parade**, and then at around 4:45, we took off for Evanston, and I went to spend some time with Liz�s mom. Anyway, the Crew then went to the Green Mill to hear a poetry slam. Damn fun! And finally, after some Taco Bell, I retired to my home and watched a movie with Rob and Matt***.
I could go on in more detail, but then this thing would be three times as long�
I�m looking forward to Liz�s return tomorrow @ 7:15 am at O�Hare, I get to borrow her parents� car to pick her up. I got a big block O� Hershey�s Chocolate as a little present for her, I hope that will cheer her up a little because she�s bound to be a little jet-lagged.
*The �Crew� refers to the Evanston Crew, which consists mainly of my closest friends, Charlie, Chris, Robert, Vijay and then from time to time other friends and girlfriends
*The best parts other than the nudity were the Dykes on Bikes and this huge 2-story Shopping cart that has it�s own pimped-out motor. And just in case anyone might infer something from my attendance� No, I�m not gay. :)
*Matt is my youngest brother, 18 & also not gay... that I know of.

"I like how things have been going between us and I would like to see what comes of it." i think that just made my day. even though it isn't really a definite answer...it has taken our relationship up a step...but i don't want him to get into a serious relationship with me if he's not ready. sometime soon he and i will talk about what exactly he means...but for the time being...i will be wearing a smile on my face for the rest of the day :) finals week starts today...i have two final exams...one on wednesday and one on thursday...and then i have two papers to write before friday...yikes. i had better get crackin. our family reunion is this weekend...i think it will be pretty fun. it usually is. i feel bad for my friends when they come with me though...it isn't very exciting when you don't know anyone...but it's hilarious once you get to know my family. plus you just eat and drink all day...play some horseshoes...jump in the pool...play some cards...woohoo! fun in the sun :) hmmm...andrew hasn't posted in a while..i wonder what he was up to this weekend...in case you didn't know, andrew lives in chicago with his family and friends...while i stay down here in good ole lansing, michigan. i love chicago. i am living there someday. that's a promise :)

festival of the sun rocked. you pay 10 dollars at the door, and they hand you two tickets and a wine glass. each glass of wine or beer is a ticket...and after the two tickets, you can buy additional ones for a $1.00 :) it was awesome! corinne and laura went while i was volunteering to pour beer...i think they enjoyed themselves :) after that, we went to a party on orchard street...that was fun, but after standing for two hours pouring beer...then standing around at the party...i got tired really fast...but alex (our ride home) left without us and went home to bed! so i called "Big Daddy Taxi" and they drove keith, laura, and myself home :) bailey comes home today! :) corinne and i also have plans to put on our cap and gown and run around campus taking pictures...i'll post them later on...then you can see beautiful pictures of MSU's campus...finals are this week...good lord i hope i do well. it's gonna be a close one... :(

it's almost here. on july 12th...it will be a year. wow, a whole year. i amaze myself. last year, on a wednesday night, i saw office space at a certain someone's house. and that certain someone got me woodchuck...because he knew it was my favorite drink in the world...it seems so long ago. but i can remember everything about that night. since then, a lot has happened, but amazingly, i think our relationship is still at about the same point. not really knowing what lies ahead for it...i wonder what he thinks. i wonder if i am as important to him as he is to me. i wonder if he thinks about me when i'm gone...i wonder too much. :) i wonder if he reads this.... :)

my shoulder hurts. not from working out. not from lifting anything. oh no. there is a reason bailey is getting his claws out. it was such a struggle getting him into his cat carrier this morning...but after 20 minutes of chasing him around the house, i finally got smart and closed all the bedroom doors...then i had to put one side of the carrier against the wall so he couldn't escape...then unscrew the top so that i could just completely take the top off, shove him inside, and then hurry and close the lid before he darted. in the meantime, he stretched out those lovely claws and grabbed hold of my shoulder...ouch! but once he is in the carrier, he is ok. we got to the vet's and he always stays really calm. he meandered out onto the examining table, and purred and rubbed against the doctor...i have a feeling bailey is going to be just fine :) he has to stay til sunday...so i will be kittyless til then...
ok enough about the cat. this weekend is the festival of the sun in old town lansing. woohoo! beer and wine mmmm....since i am volunteering...guess who gets their drinks for free...awww yeah...life is grand :)

so i finally made a decent site for www.decormier.com. i put up a message board so that my relatives could post what was going on with them...and to keep the family updated. :) i am so tired now though...i stayed late after work to finish it...it only took me a couple of hours...not too bad...my next project is going to be making a photo album for laura. that should be fun. i didn't get to go to the play this week due to rain...i didn't want to sit and get all wet...alright...time to do homework....

so yes, now andrew will be able to post all his crazy ass thoughts on here. want to post your messages? let me know, and i will think about it. andrew's is only temporary...until he sits his lazy ass down and makes his own site...i finally got my hair cut yesterday...you can't tell but i really can...i found out highlights cost $85.00...that's a whole lot of money for something so subtle. i should get my whole head dyed for that price! so i don't know if i am gonna do it...bailey goes in tomorrow for his declawing...poor little bugger...but the couch will be happy...but i have a feeling he might start biting more once his claws don't work...he has to defend himself somehow!

Woo-Hoo - Carrie has green-lighted me to post to this from time to time. Now even though I've not been leashed yet with any "PC" rules of conduct, (like no cussing, or taking the Lord's name in vain) I'm still going to try to keep it on the fringes of decency. Christ knows I�ll screw up from time to time but geez, I�m only human.
So today I get a call at work from my Dad, which is a rarity to begin with, but what really surprised me was the subject matter. See, I have a younger brother who is currently carrying on a long-distance relationship with a young brit named Samantha. (My brother's name is Samuel) So, Sam is coming to visit Sam in about a week and then Sam is taking Sam to New York for a few days and then coming back to Chi-town. Both Sams are looking forward to their conjugal visit, and Sam even talked about getting tested. Unfortunately, Sam keeps horrible working hours and still hadn't gone to get tested. So today Sam finally resorted to asking help from our parents, who in turn, sought help from me. Talk about an awkward phone conversation. So in the middle of the day, I had to find out if, and where, Sam could get a VD test for HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia before Sam gets here. Not to worry though, Sam should be all right since a few places will get results back in a week.
But let this be a lesson:
1) Always make VD testing appointments far in advance of the time you need the results by.
2) Don�t date people with the same name, it's confusing.
3) Try your best not to involve your siblings in conversations with your parents that might involve the phrase, "then they swab your urethra, and it stings," because for retribution, your sibling might write the story down and post it on the web. :)

the last post was from andrew...he is thinking about getting his own site up and ready...and he wanted to know how the whole blogger thing worked...so i let him post on mine just to get him familiar with it...i have been looking at greymatter and dot comments...although blogger goes down frequently, i don't really like greymatter a whole lot...i haven't had a chance to do dot comments yet...so i might switch..i need a haircut. my hair is getting out of control...it is getting too long to do anything with...:( summer session is done one week from today...thank god..i can't handle classes anymore...not three at a time anyway...creed joined a band...now i have a feeling i won't be seeing much of him anymore...oh well...it was fun while it lasted. work calls...so does class...*sigh*..summer, be over!

Fun, fun, Carrie has let me post some messages, I don't even know if this will make it onto her website. I'm thinking that if it does, I should keep the language clean... That's gonna be difficult, because the first thing that I want to put on here is my funny story from this last weekend.
Here we go:
I went out drinkin' for Rob's birthday, I had a great time until I woke up the next day... That next morning, I woke up inside an SUV in a garage that was only big enough to accomodate the SUV with no more than a foot of clearance on any side. I was so bewildered, it took me a whole minute to figure out what had happended while I searched the inside of the garage for a light and/or a way out. And it was hot as hell in that damned concrete would-be tomb I was covered in sweat... But thankfully, I escaped and after I went back to retrieve my lighter, I meandered home on foot.
I wasn't even that wasted, I just fell asleep in the back of this girl's SUV while she and her boyfriend were driving over to some bar...and I stayed asleep. When they couldn't wake me up, they left me for dead in the back seat.
My head was swimmin' a little still in the morning, but really, at 7 AM, I'd be confused even if I was sober.

i'm sick. :( every year, without fail, once the air conditioning turns on...wham. i get sick. i am losing my voice...but it's not that bad. last night i hung out with jackie...we made margueritas in the blender...they were so good! we made a huge mess in the kitchen though...i think the kitchen floor will forever be pink :) **** called me at around 1:30am...it was pretty funny...i found out he was upset that i didn't go out to lunch with him on thursday...i think he might be jealous that i am spending a lot of time with my other friend...which is ridiculous, because HELLO we aren't dating. but he said he had looked forward to just spending time with me...and since i was with someone else when it was supposed to be just the two of us...he got a little mad...but i had no clue it was supposed to just be us at lunch. i give up. i think he wants to start dating...so it looks like another talk is due. *sigh* boys are so confusing. bailey is getting his claws out friday...he has to stay overnight...so i hope he doesn't think i am abandoning him. he has had way too many trips in the car recently...poor thing. oh well, he will be happy when he gets home again :) alright, time to go drink my slurpee. my throat hurts.

well it's off to detroit for me this weekend. tonight i go to hang out with jackie..it's been a while since i have seen her...so i am looking forward to that! then on saturday, i go to play golf with my grandpa and then out to dinner..mmm...then sunday is father's day, so we are taking my dad out to eat :) i think **** is going to miss me this weekend. he has been really affectionate lately...i am lovin it! but i am not going to expect anything from him...everytime i do, i think i freak him out or something, and he starts to pull away. relationships are so much easier with no expectations. bailey gets his claws out sometime next week...then he will finally stop tearing up the furniture. although then he won't be able to climb up the loft post to wake me up in the morning...oh well...two months of living in the oaks...i might be staying with creed for the week that i have no place to live. now THAT would be interesting. :)

i love it! i got my new barbell in, and it is awesome! it feels 100 times better than the long ass one they put in at first...i can talk 100% normally and eat whatever i want...i am so happy! the only thing i have to worry about now is that i played with it too much while i had the longer bar in, and now i have a little bit of scar tissue forming underneath my tongue...but i can dissolve aspirin under my tongue...and with the short bar in, it should eventually go away...let's hope! it doesn't look bad...just a little weird...but how often do you show people the bottom of your tongue? :) anyone who was thinking about getting it done...DO IT. it rocks. :)

that was a little scary...i thought i was going to have to redo everything. my computer crashed...due to a worm called 1i0n or "lion"...you know, why must people do such malicious things? it changed all the index.html files to say "kill all the japanese" and then proceeded to spread itself to ALL the servers...why couldn't whoever it was just rename the index file to something else...then email us and tell us that they were able to get in? so five of us stayed last night til 11...fixing everything....just because someone was bored one night. *sigh* anyway, tonight i am going to the play on MSU's campus again..and today during lunch i am getting my shorter bar for my tongue!! hallelujah!!! i'll be sure to post a picture when i am finally done...i also got my pictures back from the actual piercing that john creed took...they aren't that great of quality (inside pictures with a disposable camera *shudder*) but they are still pretty fun. you can see i am scared out of my mind :)

so i am the featured site at camville again :) that rocks. i was looking at a picture today...and i realized how beautiful the color blue is...a deep blue..not quite navy...brighter than that...like a sapphire blue...and how pale blue skies just make me happy. *sigh* have you ever seen the movie "requiem of (for?) a dream" ? there is a part where a guy and a girl are lying on the couch...and the camera just focuses on each one gently outlining each other's eyes, lips, cheeks, and neck...it is so sweet. dave commented on how they just looked perfect together...and how that's what he was looking for. someone that perfectly complimented him. honestly, i don't think it exists. for me, i mean. i don't believe there is someone "perfect" for me. rather, i believe that love makes you blind, but eventually, reality sinks in. and when it does, i will find someone whose flaws i can live with...and someone who can live with mine. but that sounds so unromantic. i guess i am tired of hoping for that kind of movie-romance, and ready to start a realistic relationship. on the other hand, i really need romance right now. do you know how long it's been since a guy bought me a flower? i don't know why i am so obsessed with that lately. daydreaming about an incredible sweet guy bringing me a flower for no reason other than to show me he cares about me. someone softly stroking my hair...just cute stuff. i miss it. so while i rant about reality and relationships...i still daydream. i'm crazy. :) fastest way to my heart fellas: give me a beautiful flower to show you care...how silly does that sound? but trust me...it will work. :)

i hate being up this early. but work calls. i need to go to class tomorrow. i am having some trouble understanding my statics class...so i think a trip to the prof is going to have to be arranged sometime next week. only three more weeks of these classes. then i only have one class to worry about. woohoo! then real graduation time :) oh how i wish it were now. thursday i am going to get a shorter bar for my tongue...i can't wait. i am sick or flicking this one around in my mouth. it doesn't hurt anymore...now it's just annoying. i am also getting a dun dun dun....HAIRCUT! just shortened a little bit to cut off the dead ends and make it look nice...but anyone that knows me knows i hate it when people don't know what they are doing to my hair...i let my friends cut my hair once..and she cut it too short and i accidentally punched her in the stomach. sween will never let me forget that one :) next week i am getting a "big girl" haircut as my aunt mary calls it...i am getting highlights :) i think it will look really cute, so i can't wait. oh, and i got approved for my car loan!! so i have to start paying for my car...but it will be all mine!! my first car! :) it's a red two door 2000 focus...i love it. i wish i could have gotten the four door...but i didn't pick it out...and a car is a car...and it is mine! :) now i have to figure out how much insurance is going to be...*sigh*...there goes my money...

oh man, my parents found out about the tongue ring. thanks to my sister's friend cathy, they now know about both of ours...but it's ok cause my mom just laughed and my dad kept saying he didn't understand why i did it...i just wanted to do something different that always looked fun. and so far, it is. i mean, besides the swelling and the pain...both of which have mostly gone away. but my parents are awesome. they have the motto: let us make our own mistakes, but give us good advice that will prevent us from making them. but even if we do make them, they are always there supporting us. i have a really good relationship with them...which is kinda rare these days. so they were a little disappointed that i got a piercing...but they are letting me deal with the consequences...last night creed, dave, todd, and i went to steve martin's play 'picasso at the lapin agile'...man that was a good play :) we saw it outside, on MSU's campus down by the river. it made for a wonderful night. wine, nice summer weather, and a good performance...i don't have too many of those kind of evenings. they are doing two more plays outside like that in the next two weeks...and i plan to go to both :) i can't wait. after the play, dave and creed and i hung out until dave bailed on us, and then creed and i went to todd's til about 3am. having a tongue ring and restricting your alcohol intake sucks. i so wanted some beer last night. but i had to settle for good ole refreshing water. mmmm. so i got to spend the night with ***** (just sleeping people)...which made me pretty happy. he and i have been getting along really well lately...:) alright, time to go eat some food...i saved some spaghetti for when my tongue felt better...so it's time to break that out tonight..mmm...food :)

mmm...i just had the best strawberries :) since they were cold, they made my tongue feel a lot better...it actually has been feeling a lot better today...but now i find myself playing with it more..and that's bad! i don't have a whole lot going on this weekend...i'm going to see Steve Martin's play on MSU's campus...should be fun...it's an outside play, and unless it's lightning, they still perform. laura took my car to livonia for a couple of hours...i was a little hesitant to let her since her car had two blown tires...but i think it will be fine...now that i have had a super good lunch, it's time to get back to work :( but it's friday!!

out of all the people to notice, my 13 year old cousin candice was the first...after talking to people at work, my mom, my aunts, and my grandparents, no one noticed except for her. and she saw it right away :) go figure. so i believe it's not that noticeable...unless you are staring at my mouth when i talk...usually people look you in the eye...or at your chest if you had big boobs, but that's never really been an issue with me... :) there was craziness abound in the apartment last night. i was awoke to people making out below me...but it wasn't laura. she knows better, thank god. :) it was then that i decided it was time to get up...at 6:30!! aaahhh!!

happy birthday to my mom! i didn't go home, so i had to call her and wish her a happy day :) andrew is back from spain...he told me all about his trip...and how much fun it was...it makes me want to go traveling now. but after looking over my finances, i won't be going anywhere for a while...i have so many things to pay for! from car payments to rent to food to bills...bleh! it's a good thing i have a good paying job...i don't know how i would get on with my current lifestyle if i didn't...tomorrow i am gonna go visit mr. creed...he bought "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" and i have been dying to see it. update on the tongue: yes, it still hurts. the swelling is going down, but not fast enough for me. now the pain is just annoying. enough already! i still can chew food normally...i just want to be able to bight into a big fat hamburger! but noooo....more mac n cheese for me :)

well, it's day three and my tongue is still sore. the swelling has gone down a little, but i still can't eat hard foods. but since i love mac n cheese anyway, it's not too much of a problem. creed was pretty sweet...he made me mac n cheese after he had already made pizza and my attempt to eat that failed :) colleen called last night! i haven't talked to her in forever, so it was really good to hear her voice...she and mr. mike wojciechowski are getting married july 20...and then they are moving back to michigan! woohoo! i mean, it sucks for them, having to leave florida, but i will be happy to have sween close by again :) tonight i am going to see my cousin candice's recital...should be interesting. especially because no one in my family knows about my tongue ring...and i still can't talk 100% clearly. so we'll see if they notice. it will be the ultimate test to see if it really is that noticeable...for work, i had to take the new certification test...they came out with cold fusion 5.0...and i am only certified in 4.5...since i took the beta test, our results won't come for another 4-6 weeks, but i think i passed :) school sucks. i haven't been going to class...but i made a pact today that i will not skip anymore classes til the end of the summer...i can't afford to! we'll see how that goes...

woohoo! there it is. my tongue ring. creed and laura went with me, but laura couldn't watch. it actually didn't hurt that bad, if you can believe it! the only thing that hurts now is the fact that it is super swollen. but i like it! as soon as the swelling goes down, i think i'll like it even more. creed took pictures of it as they did it, so when he gets them developed, i'll scan them and put them up for whoever is interested. :) now i wait for my parent's reaction...:) i have to learn to eat around it...i can't have alcohol for a couple of weeks...maybe only two...and when the swelling goes down i can take out this bar and get a much shorter one...i can't wait! for all those skeptics out there...most people haven't even noticed i have one until i tell them...it is really not that noticeable. plus, if i need to, they make tongue-colored balls to put on it, so that you really can't see it at all. i don't talk funny...at least, not more than anyone would with a swollen tongue... :) plus, if i need to for any reason...it is removable. not like a tatoo. so if i get sick of it, out it goes. :) so i'm happy with it...yay! :)

ok, for the record, i wasn't interested in pedro, rather, i am confused as to his interest in me. guys are very flirtatious, and i can't always tell when the hell they are interested, or just flirty by nature. if he is interested, then i have to stop flirting, cause i'm not interested in him. but if he is just messin around, then the flirty fun can continue. :) anyway, back to the more important things: today is the day! in four hours i will have one more hole in my body. ladies and gentleman, i am scared out of my mind. i have only ever had my ears pierced. but i'm trying to pysch myself up...thinking about how it will be *after* the pain...then it doesn't seem so bad. but i'll admit it. i'm a wuss. so i pray to god that it will be quick :) now i'm off to eat a big lunch...before i am unable to eat anything at all... :)

aaahh!! my sister just stopped up to work and showed me her tongue. it looks really cool...but now i am super scared to do it. tomorrow at 3pm. so far, i have heard that a) you drool b) it hurts A LOT c) you have to keep the long-ass barbell in for TWO weeks d) you can't use a straw or it will mess up the healing process and e) you can't drink alcohol! :( but it still looks cool, and all of the above are only temporary. once i pass the two week mark, i get a shorter bar, and it won't hurt that bad. so the test will be if i can withstand the pain for so long. i'm definately going to get it done, but we'll see how long it stays in. i'm so nervous!

last night dave and i went to the bar. it was a really fun time. however, i now have the hangover from hell. coffee is good...as i try to stay awake and finish my work for the day...big news: danielle is getting a tongue ring today! and guess who is getting theirs tomorrow....ME! :) that's right, i am getting my tongue pierced. if i don't chicken out that is...i am going to have laura or whoever comes with me take pictures...and then i will post them up here...i plan on buying lots of slurpees and slim fast shakes for the next couple of days...but once everything settles down, i think it will be really fun! is it true that people make assumptions about people with tongue rings? i think that's silly. but we'll see if i can stand the pain and how long i keep it in...i'm not a big fan of continous pain...i got the top of my ear pierced once and after two days of not being able to sleep cause it hurt...i just took it out...but i'll try my best to withstand the pain...:)
