So Much For Studying…

June 8, 2008   Filed Under: College, Friends, Piercing   226 words

I planned to study the whole weekend but then I got so many job offers that I didn’t really get the chance. I could not pass them up because I got bills to pay…and they surely ain’t payin’ themselves! I managed to partially memorize the solubility chart, but other than that…not much.

Three friends of mine opened up a belly button ring store. They plan to sell other stuff, too, but that is all that’s up there for now. So, I made the website in exchange for a few free rings. They are linked to the right under F.erocio.us…Adorned Soul. I got to choose the name, too. I wish them luck. I’ve always wanted to open up an online business…but in the middle of a recession? I just don’t know how that’s going to work out. It’s scary enough as it is when the economy is booming. You just never know whether a business will be successful or not…or maybe I’m just not meant to be an entrepreneur.

Well, I gotta go take a quiz before I forget to do it. And then maybe after I’m done with that I’ll be inspired to go to sleep right away so that I can wake up bright and early en la manana. Yeah right…

Is It Called A Navel Or Belly Button Ring?

FOR CHEAP BELLY BUTTON RINGS GO TO ADORNED SOUL.
Check out this if you’re looking for a Jamaican Pot Leaf navel ring.

Even though I lack spontaneity and couldn’t jump up and go have my belly button pierced today with my sister’s friend, I still decided to finally go and get it done. Her friend bought two rings and decided to wait until they arrive to get the piercing. We’re going to go together.

I also bought three rings at Body Candy. I’m such a dork! Why is it that people who are, for the most part, BROKE always spend money that they should really save for something more important? I guess getting my rebate check really made me realize that I should spend at least $100 on myself. I’m halfway there, by the way. It was so hard to limit myself to just three. I’m glad they didn’t charge for shipping & handling or tax. And of course…there are pictures.

The bad news set in when I called a piercing place that a friend recommended. I quickly learned the shop will take my jewelry, but only if it’s an actual circular ring. I’m going to call the one I planned to go to in the first place tomorrow and see if they’ll use the body jewelry instead of an actual navel ring. That’s the only reason I got ring #1. I read online that the jewelry is easier to clean than the ring and that it’ll promote keeping it in until the piercing is fully healed (3-4+ months) because it’s much easier to find a likable one.

I can’t wait to get them! I think they’re all super cute. And regarding ring #3…No, I don’t smoke marijuana. It was the closest ring I could get to something representative of my Jamaican heritage.

As previously written, we’re going in to get the piercing soon after the rings arrive. The free shipping was 2-7 days, so I guess at the latest I’ll have the operation the week after next. I’ll make a post about how it went. I know that I’m going to buy more once the healing occurs. That’s if I keep up with the regime of silly tasks necessary to keep the dang thing from getting infected. If that happens, I’ll just say goodbye to the rings and give them to my boyfriend’s sister or one of my friends.

Some Things Are Just Weird!

March 3, 2008   Filed Under: Boyfriend, Friends   182 words

I find it strange that strangers can understand me better than people I’ve known for years. I don’t know if it is something about being around a person for too long…maybe people become numb to the pains of people that they are around frequently. Maybe they feel they have no reason to use tact. I think the word I should be using is respect.

Respect is such an important thing to me. It can make or break a friendship. I can be friends with someone who is the complete opposite of me, as long as they can show me the respect that I will undoubtedly show them. It’s about respecting my choice of saying “tomatoes” when you choose to say “tomatoes.”

That being said, there are certain people in my life who are about to be dropped. I don’t have many friends to begin with, so I’ll become a loner. I think I like it better that way, though. Those were the days when I didn’t have to invest energy and love into people who don’t feel the same.
