What's the point of knowing everything, if everything sucks so much?
I am a graduate student in Chicago, working towards a Ph.D. in Paleobiology/Paleoecology. My interest in altering my given appearance dates back to as long as I can remember (essentially since I found out such things were possible). While I wouldn't necessarily invest in really heavy mods myself, I find almost all modification beautiful. If it brings a person closer to being themselves, I think it's a wonderful thing.
A decade-old, badly healed navel ring.: Hopefully I will size this up soon!
Getting normal!
2005/09/25 20:30 Well, I finally got to take a bath this weekend. Honestly, it relieved all the discomfort that I had. My boobs felt completely normal afterward. It was so nice! I'm so glad I can get in the water again. I haven't since June, because of all the biopsies and medical tests I had over the summer. So nice!
2005/09/18 10:10 It's been five weeks, and my nipples have healed a hell of a lot better than anything else I've gotten. Maybe it's because I got much better aftercare advice this time around. No infections, very little soreness (altho they itched like hell the other day--not sure what that was about). In a week I get to take baths again! I have not been able to take a bubble bath since June...I'm so excited!!
The scar from my mole removal has stretched out pretty as much as I think it will. I'm going to give it a year or so to age, then get something done to it. It was a really lovely mole on my chest, I miss it! I'm not sure what I'll have put there, but I have a lot of time to think about it. (You can't see it in the photo, it's further up near my shoulder.)
