Life has taken an interesting turn lately. My girlfriend of 15 months broke up with me, and though she'd been thinking about it for a couple of months, it was rather a shock to me. We'd been having problems when she visited a couple weeks ago, but I thought it was something we could work through. I'm trying to distract myself with friends and school, but whenever I'm alone I think about her.
Yesterday was also the first Thanksgiving I've ever celebrated away from my family. The dining hall had free Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday, so Kevin, Jenni, and I went and I got to eat tofurky, vegan mashed potatoes, and vegan gravy. And yesterday I went to my friend Sam's house for a simple but fun potluck dinner. I love Thanksgiving food, even if it's served on a gluttony-inducing holiday celebrating the start of the genocide of America's indigenous peoples. But damn, yams are good.
I was going to ask my parents for a new digital camera for Christmas (since I lost my old one), but instead I think I'll ask for tattoo money.

I got my nipples pierced and they are my new obsession. After losing my wallet yesterday and thinking I had plans with my parents, I thought my idea to get pierced this weekend was going to get trashed. Luckily, I found my wallet and my parents ditched me, so I was left with time and money to get the nips done!
After a yummy sushi dinner, Megan and I drove to Outer Limits so I could get pierced. I'd decided that I wouldn't get my nipples pierced without her there, because a) it's a more private piercing that is going to mostly be seen by her, and b) I wanted someone to hold my hand through the excruciating pain. Since I came down to So Cal for the weekend to surprise her, I figured this would be the perfect time to do it.
I told the piercer, Zac, what I wanted, and after a few minutes of paper work/set up, he asked if I was ready. I said I was, so Megan and I followed him to the piercing room. I took off my shirt and bra and Zac marked each nipple. As he set up and I sat topless on the piercing table, he asked if I was nervous. I said a little, but only because I felt like that's what I should say. In actuality, I wasn't. I'd heard so many people say that, while they loved their pierced nipples, it was a horribly painful piercing to get. But for some reason, all the dramatic stories hadn't gotten to me. I was just excited to get 2 pretty new piercings.
When Zac finally had the needle and jewelry ready, he told me to lie down. Unfortunately, the way the room was set up, Megan could not stand next to me or hold my hand without getting in the way. I tried to relax my body and slow my breathing, but I was starting to get antsy. Zac told me to take a deep breath, and as I breathed out, he pushed the needle through my right nipple freehand. I felt a sharp ache, and when I looked up, he was already moving to the next one.
"Is it all the way through?" I asked. "Is that it?"
"Yep," the piercer said. "Now, take a deep breath."
He pushed the second needle through, with a little more pain than the first, since I was anticipating it and by then some of the adrenaline had worn off. I felt another little tug on each side as he slid the barbells in and screwed on the balls. All I had felt was a good, hard pinch on each nipple, and the pain was already subsiding. And I say "good" because I rather enjoyed it, as well as the dull ache I felt for an hour or so afterward. Now, about six hours later, I can hardly feel them. There hasn't been a lot of bleeding or discharge, and they look great! I'm glad that I made the decision to get my nipples pierced, and I can't wait till they're healed!
