Last night I went to the Pincushion in Plymouth center and got my right ear done. Finally!
For years I've been feeling off-balance, and maybe now that won't be the case.
So now I've got 14 ga. captive bead rings in both ears, and I love them. And getting them done was thrilling. First she pierced the right one, and it was like... being entered. It was my first time being pierced by an actual professional, and it felt amazing. The burn, the sound, the tearing of flesh... I think I want more.
And she stretched the left one out to match the gauge. That burned like hell, and at the end, there was this interesting "pop" as the last of the old scar tissue tore away. So now my cherry is gone for good, and I don't miss it.
In other news, I had a very strange dream last night. I dreamed that old gods and concepts came to life, and were in human avatars, kinda like in the movie Dogma. They were all talking to me, trying to save me from... what? I don't remember. I don't think I was a lowly human... I was some mythical being from the far reaches of the past... I wish I could remember which one, that would help with some interpretation. But it was a great dream, twice I felt myself waking up, and I actually struggled to stay asleep... and it worked!
But then the phone rang.
If I could, I would stay in the dream world, and leave this one behind. In dreams, I am more than I am, and in dreams, I have some measure of control. In dreams, even though the world is chaotic, it actually makes more sense to me than this real world that we are in.
But these are dangerous thoughts, suitable only for musing, and that not too long or deeply.
Ciao,
Steven
