I’m hot, tired, jet lagged, bruised up, and maybe a little sick so tonight’s post is made up of stuff I lifted from others…
Blame this on Shrijani on LJ…
She posted on LJ about pierced ears, when and how she did it, how many holes she has, etc…
I had to wait an unbearable amount of time to get my ears pierced the first time; I think I was 12 or 13. They didn’t have the gun yet, but things had passed beyond the needles and waxed thread. the posts were sharpened and pushed through into waxed backs.
I was forbidden to get “double pierced” ears. My mom must have thought it was pretty outrageous and “whorey”.
I did my second holes myself with the studs used to pierce my first holes (which had been filed down to make them “dull”) on Valentines Day when I was 14 after a church youth group event.
I’m not certain when I did the 3rd holes; I suspect that I was in my mid to late 30s.
My step daughter wanted a cartilage piercing, so at Christmas when she turned 12, I went to the piercing pagoda at the mall (anyone who knows me, knows that I’d rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick than go to the mall) and got a piercing kit (you buy the jewelry and the service and then go back to get it done). We shared one cartilage piercing each. (the only time I was “gunned”) I did the last one myself when turned 40. (same year I got my tattoo and belly button piercing)
Now on to the snerked stuff…
Blame this one on Momwolf (on LJ)
But here’s how I (and every other kid in the late boomer generation) learned the preamble to the constitution.
Schoolhouse Rock ROCKS !!! (OK we all know that this one isn’t “realistic” because women and blacks did not get a vote until much later, and the urban sprawl at the end is disturbing), but it was an awesome way to learn, and I still sing the preamble, and I (and I suspect a lot of my generation) have very fond memories of “Schoolhouse Rock”.
These memes are Popfiend’s (also on LJ) fault…
What Your These Fireworks Say About You |
 You are focused, single minded, and intense. You don't let others see your intensity often, and when they do, they are quite surprised. You burn brightly, but you also burn steadily. You have the endurance to get the one thing you desire most. |
You Are Belly Dancing |
 You are sensual and naturally sexy. Never trashy, though. You are comfortable in your own skin. You don't have hangups about your body. You are confident and playful. You love showing off. You tend to be a little dominant and assertive... but only in a flirtatious way! |
I’m not quite sure who I snerked this one from (I think it was lots of people)…

You Are Pinot Noir

Sophisticated and worldly, you probably know more about wine than most
drinkers.
You have great taste, and you approach all aspects of life with a gourmet
attitude.
You believe that the little things in life should be cherished and enjoyed...
and of the best quality possible.
And while you may take more time to eat a meal or tour a city, it's always
time well spent.
Deep down you are: A seductive charmer
Your partying style: Refined. And you would never call it
"partying"
Your company is enjoyed best with: Stinky expensive cheese
Kind of Wine Are You?
and now. I need to get this place and myself cooled off as best I can in hopes of getting some sleep.
The word “exhausted”? Gross understatement.
