Earrings get!~ n.n

Well, I've said I would do it, and I've delayed it long enough...so yesterday I bit the bullet and got my ears pierced. Both of them~

I had been wanting to get them pierced for some time, mostly because it's not necessarily a gender exclusive thing anymore...at least not among our generation and later. It's really something I've wanted since I was a child anyway, and to be honest, my father would have never really liked it even if he wouldn't have prohibited me. I had enough respect for him to wait until I was essentially grown and largely independent.

But yeah, I'd decided I'd get my ears pierced back in my first semester, and I just couldn't bring myself to it. I blame a combination of circumstances making it difficult and having to adjust to a new place, but I knew in my heart of hearts that I was just being a bit of a baby about it. xD

So I finally put my foot down. It was amazing how light and happy I felt on the ride to there, and how happy I felt getting it done. It was the first thing I went to do when I walked in, and I went on and shopped for a few other essentials afterward. n.n

Needless to say a weight has lifted. It feels like I'm able to show my true self outwardly now with more confidence. I'm glad I haven't encountered that many jerks as of yet, and I hope I don't. XD

Here's some pics~ n.n
They're the June birthstone Alexandrite. Not pearl. I hate pearl, and I think anyone who thinks that's the birthstone for June is daft because pearls aren't minerals, they're organic secretions.

Like I tell every other person that gets their ears pierced (this only works when you wear the dangling earrings btw): When you find yourself about to be in a cat fight, you make sure you LOUDLY and OBNOXIOUSLY be all like "HOLD UP GURL" and you get those things out of your ears and you give them to your friend that's with you and you be all like "HOLD MY EARRINGS GURL WHILE I TAKE DIS CHICK OUT" then proceed to win the fight.

lol yeah.

I don't wear dangling ones, I think a stud protrudes enough as it is D8

Still, I may no doubt be tempted to wear some dangling ones someday...after I can switch earrings...gotta wait 6 weeks. >_>
