I’m Going Now

March 17, 2008   Filed Under: Piercing   260 words

Well, not right this second, but as soon as my sister’s friend is done depositing a check. Then I’m off to Cool Cat Tattoo & Piercing salon to get the navel ring thing done. I’m going to go to Walgreen’s now and get wound wash spray and some high-sugar drinks so that I don’t pass out. I just hope I do not get so nervous that I pee on the guy’s chair. Whatever happened to waiting until Wednesday?

I am prone to passing out from things like getting injections and drawing blood, so maybe this will not be different. The funny thing is that this is a recent development. When I was younger I didn’t have a problem with injections. The problem started in about 2001, approximately seven years ago. My brother tricked me that an injection hurt (he screamed) and then I passed out before it was even my turn. Ever since I’ve been queasy at the sight of an injection needle. Even though they never hurt more than a prick.

Anyways, I’ll post a camera phone picture of how it looks as well as a little review of how it felt getting punctured where my umbilical cord used to be. I can’t believe I’m really going–I’m excited and nervous and anxious and frightened all at the same time. I kind of wish that I wasn’t over 18 so that my mom would have to come with me and give consent, because she’d never do that. And I would be safe and grumpy at home instead of scared at a tattoo salon.
