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…

Crazy Girl!

I got some studying in today for Biology and then I visited one of my friends who lives a half-hour away. I lent her some cute clothes because she’s going to Spring Bling in Riviera Beach…she has to look fly! I wish I could go, but as usual school gets in the way. I have a test on Friday/Saturday, one on Monday, and then one on or about April 9^th. I’m tired of tests already!

My piercing is having its ups and downs. I ripped piece of the skin and I guess I was developing some sort of scarring. Whether its a keloid or hypertrophic I don’t really know…but it says that people of “darker complexions” are more likely to develop keloids. It was really small when I ran to Hot Topic and bought H₂Ocean spray instead of waiting for the three cans that I ordered online at Body Candy. I can’t risk getting any kind of ugly scars, LOL. I’ll have to take that back if it still develops.

The spray seems to be doing some good, but it has not been the miracle worker that everyone made it out to be. I do notice a substantial reduction in swelling, but as far as the little scar thingy being gone by the next morning…no luck. I would much rather that to be gone than the swelling because I could have taken care of the swelling with ice. I just can’t wait for it to heal already because I love to play with it and I’m having a hard time with the LITHA method (leave it the h*ll alone). Two of my friends said theirs took one month to heal and one said nine months. I’ll probably give up after 3 or 4 months if it’s not healed yet.

Talk About A Strange Day!

I went to two different places to get an oil change yesterday, and both of them told me it would be a 2-3 hour wait, so might as well come back tomorrow. Nevertheless, I went at 7AM in the morning when they just open…both of their “oil changing employees” were late. The second one flat out told me that technicians don’t come in until 8:30AM…then why open at 7? Just to sell tires? Puh-leez!

I came back home and waited and waited to do the piercing as mentioned in the last post. When my sister’s friend finally showed up, I was psyched and scared at the same time. I stopped at Quizno’s and bought a huge cup and filled it with Raspberry Lemonade (yum!) so that I would have plenty of sugar to keep my blood pressure up.

When we got there, the man complained about using the Bioplast rings that we ordered online and told us that he’ll do it, but if we notice anything strange to come back immediately and buy Titanium. We both have nickel allergies, so we were scared that maybe the little bit of nickel in Surgical Steel and the even less amount in Titanium might cause an allergic reaction. We agreed just so we didn’t have to spend extra money even though he assured us that he’s never had someone complain of an allergic reaction to Titanium. He didn’t feel comfortable cutting them, though, so it’s kinda big.

To see my piercing, click here! LOL. I cannot believe I posted a picture of my unshaved happy line with a belly ring in it. I may cut the ring down myself after a month. I bought a saline wound wash to spray it with when I can’t wash it with antibacterial soap, and I also bought Epsom salt for soaking off smut. No smut yet, though, thankfully.

The sad thing is that the guy didn’t use a clamp. He just put the dot and pushed the needle right up and yanked it out. Then he put in the ring and closed it. The whole thing took less than a minute, but it seemed like forever and it hurt like crazy. I didn’t want my sister’s friend to freak out, though, so I didn’t scream. Afterwards, I got up and it was really comfortable and didn’t hurt. It was bleeding a bit, though. When the blood dried up I felt some minor discomfort. I passed out once in the car and nearly passed out at Walgreen’s, too. So much for getting my blood sugar level up.

I thought sleeping would be a pain. After I took a shower I put Vaseline on the ring so it could move around comfortably and so that it wouldn’t be tight and itchy while I was sleeping. That worked rather well, because I slept in peace and didn’t scratch it out overnight. I don’t know if I’m supposed to do that, though…
