as i am not a overly huge fan of sting, i just sat through annie lennox.

i believe i have a crush.

i had to pierce this girl's ears the other day, sometime last week, i don't think i've talked about this yet.

she had her ears pierced twice before. once it closed up because she just let it, another time the ear grew over the piercing.

so she comes to me, i talk to her, sit her down, start to put my piercing instruments (oh, that's NOT a euphimism, but if it were...) up to her ear, and she freaks out.

starts crying, tells me no, no no no, so i drop my stuff, say, "you tell me when you're ready, okay, and i'll just rest it up there, we'll go from there, okay?"

and she nods.

by this time the tears are pouring and i'm thinking good grief, i tell her we don't have to do this, she needs to be sure she wants this.

she nods, as the tears are all dripping off her face.

tells me to put it up to her ear. i do, and as soon as i get everything lined up she screams "don't do it don't do it!"

so i say "i'm not, i'm waiting for your cue, i won't do anything until you tell me to."

to make an incredibly long, tear-filled story short, i finally pierced her ears.

as she's hopping off my chair the people who came with her say "at least you didn't scream when they did it this time."

and i'm thinking... oh man.

if she had screamed, i don't know what i would have done.

now i am hungry, so i have to go cook.

i don't know what i'm cooking, but rest assured, it will and shall be hot!
