I'm the ringleader

So yesterday, I finally got the nerve to get my ear pierced. It took a while to get into the shop but I finally just went for it. The pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I did let out a very audible "fuck". I don't usually do that out of nowhere in public but it had to happen. It's still throbbing like a mofo but the guy did stick a two inch needle through my ear so some tenderness is to be expected. And since I'm such a baby, I had Aldo put the A&D ointment on for me. The fact that he had to roll the earring throughout the hole was even more painful than piercing. Just as I was getting comfortable with the thing, this had to happen. Lovely. But I love it. I just am so anxious for the pain to subside. I want to be able to sleep on my left side again and lay my left ear on Aldo's chest when we're cuddling. I wish I could say it's something special but I'm sure you've all seen a cartilage piercing (or a helix, as I've just found out). I've wanted it for a long time so I guess I could say this was a way overdue birthday present or an early Christmas present.

It's going to be a trip if the parental units get more upset over this than my brother's tattoo. Seriously, that would just reek of favoritism.
