Update on my goddamnmotherfucking torn ear lobe: 
So I went ahead and drained it by soaking the lobe in a hot cup of chamomile tea, then I iced my jaw muscle to draw away fluid from the lymph node that supplies the ear.
That evening I took a hot shower and pulled out the plug, washed it. Then I dipped a q-tip in lavender oil and coated the inside of my ear hole and the plug with it.
If you or anybody you know tears the shit out of their ear (the inside of my ear looks like raw chicken) have them do all the shit above, it worked really, really well. There is no longer any swelling, pain, or blood.
Looking at it, though, tells me its going to take quite a while to completly heal. I'm going to wait about eight weeks to stretch that sucker again.
Oh, lifes little lessons.
In better news, my super-hot, tattooed, little orphan Annie looking friend named Amanda and I went apartment shopping (for her) and regular shopping yesterday! Yay!
She is 27, has two male room mates and is beyond sick of it. Shes just sick of stinky feet and loogies in the bathroom sink and is going to get a cute little place of her own. 
We looked at a studio in edgewater (north Chicago, really close to the lake) then hit a couple of shops down by clark & belmont. After that we went to her apartment, got stoned, went to Target and spent oodles of money. We, of course, bought all girly stuff: shoes (I got these great Converse slip ons, black with little white poka dots 
), panties, bras, sexy pj's, and I got a new bath robe. I LOVE SHOPPING!
Did anybody else watch the lunar eclipse last night?
