living alone is tiring. constantly doing dishes or doing laundry or cleaning or whatever. still, wouldn't give it up for anything.
doing dishes right now, cleaning, waiting until i have to change my loads over and dry all my clothes. when that's all done, i need to start cooking. have five hours or so. my nose feels weird -- got my septum pierced on wednesday. but dean, you say, you hate septum piercings. trufax: i'm not the biggest fan. however, i fucking love the stretched septum look.
i also think it's kind of awesome that i currently have three facial piercings, but you'd never know about one of them if i didn't tell you: the septum is pretty much invisible, as i have a 14ga niobium retainer in -- niobium is a dark, almost black, metal, and the inside of my nose is dark, so the retainer is pretty hard to see. the plan is to let it heal a couple months, then buy a 12ga retainer, then 10ga, etc., until I get up to the size I want. Probably 2ga or 0ga, 00ga at the very biggest. The whole process will probably take around a year, a year and a half, and that's if I'm well enough to stretch every other month, so, we'll see. the whole process will end up costing around $150 for all the jewelry.
just for fun, i added up how much i've spent on body modification since i first got into it at nineteen: around $950 in 17 months. on average, then, i've been spending like, $50-60/month on body mods. holy fuck.
