Eh... 19 months ago

Getting my nipples pierced was good for a story and just to say that I’ve had them, but other than that…
I didn’t experience the increse in sensitivity that was promised, in time they started to hurt constantly, and my boyfriends eventually got bored with them (as did I).
If I was asked, my advice would be to pierce one then wait a while, and do the other if you still think it’s worth it. Best of luck!

have a magnetic personality

"Woah! She's got a personality!" 19 months ago

In a new circle of friends just a few days ago, I made an off-color joke. I was afraid of how it might go over, being that I just spouted off without thinking, and everyone sort of sat and stared for a moment. Just when I was about to crawl into a hole and die, one of the guys exclaimed (no joke here): “Woah! She’s got a personality!” So… What? Everyone thinks I’m just a pretty face? ; )
The problem is that I remain cautious around new people until I get to know them. I am nice, quiet, polite, I hang back and listen, I take it all in, and then when I feel like it’s safe, I’ll come into full color in the blink of an eye.
I really need to work on this goal… I can’t imagine all of the amazing people I’ve missed out on by not showing all of who I am right away. I know that I wouldn’t hang around for a month and wait to find out if some shell-of-a-person actually had a really great personality in there somewhere…

stop being passive-aggressive (read all 2 entries…)

Sarcasm 3 years ago

I really need to watch my sarcasm. The other day, I muttered too loudly as my boss was walking away. We were able to laugh it off, but I may not be so lucky next time…
