i cannot tell a lie.
well, actually i lie all the time, most of the time involuntarily (i really think i have some kind of disorder).
the point is, however, that i am in pain. the previous "ouch" still holds true. i spoke with a regular customer today who has her lip pierced, and she told me hers ached for a week and a half. so i'm not too worried anymore, just annoyed. everyone seems to have this fascination with it, including my apartment manager. she asked, "how does that work with kissing people?" i replied i didn't know because i can't yet, and she found that really funny.
we saw liz tonight when we went to texadelphia on the drag, and she said it looked good. i'm starting to grow into it. with my other piercings, i felt really self-conscious for a few days, and then i started feeling cool. that's sort of how this is going. that sounds ultra-lame, but it's the truth. i mean, that's the reason people partake in body art after all, the fact they think it'll make them look good. it doesn't hurt as much to smile any more at least. laughing's still pretty painful, and i certainly can't really bite things. the burger i ate tonight i just ripped into bite-sized pieces and shoved them into my mouth.
i must admit to the world (i.e. owen, who already knows) that i watch "charmed" every afternoon at 5:00 p.m. that's right around when i get home, and i've got a whole routine. i shut tima and janeane up in the bedroom, let raz in, and for about two hours we lie on the couch watching "charmed" and "law and order," the latter for as long as four hours. it's really sad.
i fully acknowledge "charmed" is a bad show, however. the acting is horrible. it's just something i can't help but watch, though. i saw the first episode rose mcgowan (rawr) was in, and i've become interested in her character. for the most part she's a bitch, but she's hot so it's okay. it's so terrifying that she became blonde later. ick.
i let my apartment manager know we're renewing our lease for another year. the rent's only going up $10, which is really good. it's really weird to think i've been convinced to stay somewhere another year; usually i'm so eager to discover a new area and a new home. this place, despite the ghetto assholes across the street and the basset hound upstairs, is really great, though. and i love my apartment manager. she's so cute and nice and willing to help all of her tennants. it's a little more official: i'm becoming domestic.
anyhoo. speaking of domestication, it's late by my standard. 6:00 a.m. comes earlier and earlier these days (of course i hit the snooze for an hour and then just rush out the door after spending 5-10 minutes getting ready).
<3, chels
p.s. check out my boys. :D
