So I bet it comes out of the bun a lot, then. Do you have any good tricks for keeping it up?

why tho? My mom got my ears pierced when I was a baby

It was a silly impulse. One of the few times I was off on my own, without family nearby, for a long length of time.
After the first year I was feeling pretty lonely.
So naturally I had to go do something to make myself feel brave and independent, and at the time to my younger silly self, it felt like the thing that would make the biggest statement would be that, or a tattoo, or possibly a drastic hair change. Only I liked my hair and really couldn't bring myself to do a tattoo, so that meant piercing my ears.
In retrospect, I wish I'd have just gone to visit the cousins more often. They weren't THAT far away, and visas were easier to arrange back then!

Oh well, can't change the past.


How's your foot doing?

iono I don't use pins, hair doesn't like pins much.

I just use good hair ties. It falls out after a bit but eh.. it's just up for housework or when I eat.

I got my ears pierced as a kid.. but I only have a nose stud piercing otherwise.

Which I always recommend if anyone gets any further piercings, especially ears get it done with the needle. Not the gun thing, those can't be sterilized as easily as the needle.

if my math is correct (also based on how old I was when Smallville premired in 2001) I was 13 in 1999




still hurts to walk on. I hate foot injuries

Yeah, it's hard to give them enough of a break that they get a chance to heal...
it does look a little less angry than the first picture you took, though!

yep, I'm glad because I need both my feet to play Pokémon Go

Ah, what kind of sport is that?

ooooooh, I've heard of that! I must be tired, not to have remembered.

Guess I should stop for a bit and sleep. Goodbye for now, I hope you find a good gift for your sister. Maybe someone else will have some better ideas for you.
