Another hole.

osarabaYou know I've been bad when I even neglected to update LJ with my most recent piercing addition. I know it was some time after Yaoi-con that I got it, but definitely before February. I think it was most likely sometime between December and January. Anyway, the topmost CBR in the cartilage is my most recent piercing.
Lately I've been itching for something else to do with my ears and so I decided on stretching my 12-gauge (first holes in both lobes) to a 10ga. I had been thinking about getting talons or claws, but made of acrylic rather than titanium. But then I read somewhere that it's not a good idea to stretch with acrylic, but I don't really want stainless steel talons/claws, so I thought maybe I'd stretch with a taper, then put in acrylic jewelry. But by then I thought that maybe I'd wait to get the talons/claws until (or if?) I stretched to an 8ga because they'd look a lot better as 8ga talons than 10g talons -- more noticeable and all that. And then I saw these up for auction and I couldn't resist. $10 for 4 pairs of 10ga acrylic plugs with O-rings? That's a really good deal.
I'm waiting for those to come in the mail; I'm going to have a lot of fun wearing the tapers around for a while. I expect that it won't be much of a problem to stretch; going from 12ga to 10ga isn't much, but I like how the tapers look as earrings anyway, so I'll probably leave them in until I get bored, then put in the acrylic plugs. And I'll actually be able to change the plug colors according to what I'm wearing -- oooh, fashionable. ^_~
And then... I was asking Angelica and Louie if they remembered when I got my most recent piercing so I could make note of it in LJ, but they couldn't remember. But then Angelica asked if I was interested in getting another piercing 'cause she's ready for another one. I said that I hadn't thought of that (and I hadn't 'cause I'm about to stretch my ears to the next gauge and I usually count that as a "piercing" when I'm in the mood to do something with my ears), but March 15th is approaching and that's the anniversary of our first cartilage piercing! I want to get something done to commemorate, but at the same time I'm looking forward to the stretching and only having the stretching done, without anything else to detract from it.
What to do. Yes, my shallow musings are definitely back in full force. Well, this is what you asked for when you asked me to start posting in LJ again. ^_~
