my moral standing is lying down

This has got to be the best most well-behaved piercing I've ever had. It hasn't even been a week, and I can pretty much poke and prod it without much pain at all. It's still a bit sensitive right around the hole, but I barely feel it anymore. The other really fast-healing/no-problem piercing was my conch, surprisingly. Oooh, I would really like to get another one of those! I'm really surprised, however, that my nose is healing so rapidly. I hope I didn't jinx it now!

Yesterday, while cleaning the piercing before going to bed, I realized that the swelling had gone down on the inside and that I could swing out the bent end of the stud. So yay, I swung it out of my nose to clean it and such... it was quite amusing 'cause I had a stainless steel 18ga post sticking out of my nostril. LOL! I still won't turn it without cleaning it first, but I think it'll pretty much be fine. =D

I really have to get a pair of 6ga tapers so that I can stretch my ears to a 6ga. I don't know, I'm feeling kinda nervous about going to a 6ga, although I really don't think it's all that much bigger than an 8ga. In the meantime, while I gather courage and motivation, maybe I can find a pair of 8ga plugs with *stars* in them!

Mudvayne is playing in late November at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. I really really really have to go! It's on a Wednesday, unfortunately. I have to find out who wants to go and then scrounge up some money for hopefully not-bad seats. I ♥ Mudvayne and seriously NEED to see them live again! They're also playing at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, but that's on a Tuesday, and I just don't know if I'd be able to drive there, and back, and show up at work the next morning bright and early at 8am. Although if I could choose, I'd pick the Starland Ballroom 'cause its all general admission ( = the Floor = MOSH PIT!). Dammitdammit!
