So I did it! Friday I went and got my first piercing. I actually went through with it. My boyfriend recommended a great tat shop and Kate, the artist, did a great job! So step one is complete. The eyebrow is done! It did not even hurt. I was laughing because she was finished and I was going, "Have you started yet?" She thought I was funny because I went into there all apprehensive when it was actually nothing to get all worked up about about. She used about a 16 gauge curved barbell. So it looks super cute. I have to wait 6-8 weeks as with any normal piercing before I can change it, but my glasses should not pose a problem at all according to Kate. So woot! I am smilling. This next week is going to be interesting. I helped my friend Andrea and her kids move to Charleston. They got settled in. I stayed with them a couple nights with a friend of mine and my boyfriend. He, or further known as Matt, took me to a couple places to look for a house and to get the piercing. So I have my first appointment Tuesday with a renter. YAY! It seems as if I might get to leave HELL after all. Although, I am not one to put all my cookies in the milk before it gets warm, so I will wait and see before I start doing cartwheels through the living room. However, I will cross my fingers and a few toes. Yes, I can actually do that, folks! Not so much a talent, just something I learned to do one day when I was bored. Anyhow, I also have to manage to complete my first graduate school course this week. I had gotten an extension, but I have seriously been slacking. My mind has been elsewhere. Not so much a bad thing, I don't guess, but for Jen school has always been a priority. I do not mind so much that it is taking a back seat for a while, just as long as I graduate and get a job. The sad part is however, is now due to extreme procrastination, I have three weeks of work to complete in two days. I will prevail. I work well under pressure. That is when I am at my best. I just hope I get a prize at the end! A sticker perhaps? *giggles* A girl can dream right? Ahhhhh only to be six again....Being an adult sucks! I however enjoy the perks of adulthood, such as love and sites such as this *winks*. So all is all it all balances out. You win some, you lose some. As Forrest would say, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get!" Amen to that!

Brave? Me. Nah. Just trying to open a creative outlet. I have a person who loves me and who is willing and supportive enough to let my express myself. He thinks I am beautiful no matter what I do.
To be honest, it did not hurt at all. The piercer, Kate, put a clamp on my eyebrow and said, "Now you will feel some pressure and I want you to close your eye." The next thing I know I was asking her if she had started. She laughed and said, "Well, I have been finished for awhile. I just can not get the ball attached to the top. That is the hardest part with a curved barbell." She actually lost one of them. To better the situation, she even gave me an additional barbell and ball free for losing the other one. She rocked. For all of those who are interested her shop was called THE INKWELL and it is in WV; The staff there is amazing. They are very talented artists and their prices are very reasonable. I am going there soon to get my two cartilages in my ears pierced and my first tat! WOOT! I am so excited.
