I'm pissed off, because... I had to retire my piercing already at only six weeks, dammit!

What happened was, I had another go to change it, but I couldn't get the new ring to go in properly. I could feel it underneath the skin on the inside, but I couldn't find the exit hole with the end. I was trying for a really long time, so I thought I better not try for too long otherwise it wouldn't do any good to my skin. So I put the old ring back in, but I couldn't get the ball to go back on it! It was so fiddly, I tried and tried, and used pliers to close the ring a little, but it still didn't work.

I thought I would go back to my piercer and ask him to put it back on for me. So... I went... (by a strange coincidence it was Server Maintenance at work and all the comps were down, so I had some free time), but the boss was there and she said he wouldn't do it. I was like "Whaaaat?!? WTF!!!" but she said they wouldn't do anything to an 'old' piercing, only on the same day it was done, because if anything went wrong they'd be held liable. << Only if you buy a piece of jewellery from them, and then ask him to change it over for you there and then, will they do it. So the long and short of it was, they wouldn't do it.

My friendly guy at the other place wasn't there either... the boss was there too... (bloody typical of my luck!) and he said they wouldn't touch it either because it hadn't been done there.

><

So... there was no way I could get that ball back on... and I couldn't leave it open, of course, so... I had to take it out... I've just done it and I'm really sad because I LOVED my piercing. ;_;;; It suited me, and... oh, mehhh, what's done is done. How was I to know?

Anyway, it aches a bit now because of messing around with it, but as long as I keep it clean I guess it'll heal up OK. It really sucks cos I liked it so much I was thinking of getting another labret piercing, the chin one in the centre. But now I'll have to wait until after the play in January and if I need a retainer putting in for the May play I need to go back to the same place and ask him to fit it for me there and then. ><

I'm gonna MISS it........ *wails*

lol, I really miss my Dad when it comes to fiddly tasks. Gone are the days when I could just yell, "Daddyyyyyyyyy!!! I need heeeeeeelp!!!" ;_;;; Hehe, I'll still be feeling like that when I'm 90 I bet...

What else? Oh yeah, the Machine rang me up on Wednesday night. I was surprised; in fact, even though it was really late I still didn't think it would be him - not after... recent events (not so recent now, even). But it was... I think he wants to see me again, he said "see you" in a very pointed sort of way... XDDD I knew he was telling the truth when he said in his mail that he was very busy, but I thought it was an excuse as well as the truth, if you know what I mean.

We talked for about 45 minutes, mostly about phonetics. I kid you not - he'd just had an exam in them. ><

I spoke on the phone to Mom today, and apparently Steve was round at her place all morning. He was talking of calling me... why the fuck doesn't he just call me, then? Or drop me an email? Men.... <<

Hehe - he'll be glad my piercing has gone, anyway... Awww that's made me feel all sad again... Ah well! I survived for 26 years without one, so I'm sure I'll cope... ^^
