oubliette

I was so happy to read all 45 happy birthday comments! You guys are the best. I love this site.

Here is my funny birthday story:

I popped the captive bead out of my septum ring long ago for some family event, and could never get it back in, que sera. Early Monday morning I half-woke and noticed the ring was slipping out, so, in a fit of sleep-logic, I took it out and put it in my mouth. You know, to keep it 'safe'. I went back to sleep.

Everyone does weird stuff in their sleep.

A few hours later I started to wake up. Mysteriously, my stomach hurt, but I chalked it up to period pains, took my Adderall, and slowly got up. I forgot all about my stomach ache. It was my birthday! I was happy.

Hours later I realized I didn't have the ring in and went to search my bedsheets, where it usually turns up in the morning. It was nowhere to be found! A sneaking suspicion began to creep in around the edges of my brain.

I tore the sheets away from the bed. No ring.

I had swallowed it!

The people in the Piercing group were very nice.

Later that night I went down to Infinite in Philly and treated myself to a birthday nose ring.
