one day of grading until freedom - woohoo! i am contemplating some celebratory body art. now, the question is, to lip ring or not to lip ring? whether tis better in the lip's center to suffer the pulls and needles of outrageous self decoration ... heh, it all comes back to hamlet after all.
random aside -- one time instead of an expository essay i wrote ophelia's suicide note as an epic poem. i keep meaning to return to/edit it for reperformance. hmmmmm.
i would lurve to get my nose repierced, but sadly my sinuses freak out after a few months. well, not exactly ... last time it was in for 1.5 years, but then it was really gross. do any of you have any great tips for how to keep noserings from irritating yr sinuses? what an ooky question.
anyway - lip ... wonder how that would go in the classroom. i am already kind of the freaky one - albeit not by my standards at all. i personally think myself quite plain by true freak standards, but i guess relative to normal (not in an equus way) i am viva la diff. i think lip rings are quite elegant and sexy, but i can see where some superiors might do that oh so NOT subtle recoil in horror thing. anyone out there have a tale of debuting a facial piercing at work? how did it go?
as for other things, this really tenuous potential dating interest went kaput. ah, well, maybe next time. i've gone longer than 3 months.
ok, back to le grind.

And the mention of Ophelia always makes me think of the Dylan song, "Desolation Row."
Lip rings are quite sexy when pared with the right lips. I'm sure it'll go over well. Or like a lead balloon. Either/or.
Good luck on the grading.
I dunno about the sinus thing. I had my nose peirced three times, but none of them were in for longer than a year and a half. mine didn't work out too well because I discovered that I am allergic to a lot of metals. also I think, ten years ago + i didn't clean them as frequently as I aught to have. plus they were peirced with an ear peircing gun, which my pro peircing friends all wince and flinch when I mention...
maybe if you got a real small stud sortof a bar to wear at work for the lip ring. I dunno. I'm not alowed to have anything except earrings since I work in a nursing home. I don't think I'd want to deal with the old folks reactions anyway, because It would be harder to be sympathetic to them, and that's pretty much my job.
I always used to know one or two people who magically were able to finess their way around their jobs dress code, but usually it depended alot on the manager involved, and it was usually a record store or a coffee shop.
yay freedom! sorry about the dating thing.
oh and I forgot to add-- oh, yeah, capoeira's great. It's such a huge part of my life, and it's so hard to summarize. Yay looking capoeira up!
