CLASSICS etc.: Getting pierced

Getting pierced

I saw a couple of interesting postings here about piercings. When I left my job at the age of 33 to do my Masters degree full-time, I decided I wanted to do something a bit crazy - so I had my nose pierced. (crazy, huh?) Once it had healed, I put a little sparkly stud in it - I thought it was really pretty. I finished my degree and it was time to apply for jobs once again. I was applying for more secretarial work because I still hadn't decided what I really wanted to do or what I actually could do with this degree. To be a secretary, it seems to be necessary to conform to a certain image - business suit, neat hair, not too much make-up, etc, you get the idea. I needed to be earning money and there's competition enough without being penalised for having a sparkly stud in my nose. So I took it out for the interviews. It never went back in. Now that I don't have to conform anymore, I'm thinking about it. Does a cute little sparkly thing in my nose make me less responsible? I don't think so. (There are some who'd say I never was responsible anyway.) Having read Anne's posts about getting re-pierced, I'm thinking about it too. BTW I can't make decisions so I'm waiting for someone to make a comment telling me to go ahead or to stop being so ridiculous.

Oh you should, if you want to, now that you're going back to uni. I've never loved nose piercings myself, because so many of the people that have them don't suit them at all, but they can look really good on the right person. I think you're brave though - I don't even have my ears pierced!

If you want to do it - go for it! I've been thinking about getting a second piercing in my left ear. I currenlty have 2 in my right and one in my left. I just haven't gotten the nerve to do it just yet. I know it is a quick bit of pain - I just don't like pain at all.

Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from www.widgetmate.com. I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.
