Pinnochio - Peen Warning.....

Don't miss my rescue mission below.

Over the weekend I woke up to pick my nose, as usual because I have class and a certain disdain for making sure a giant nose giving isn't dangling from my piercing - which is a magnet for all things inhaled - but something was amiss. My nose hook. For those without a nose hook/piercing or otherwise inspection of how it actually works.... I drew you this:
It's nothing like an earring even if I had to take it out to prove that to my mother. It's fitted to your very own disgusting, snot infested nostril (unless you have the forsight to take care of that which I never seem to do). So no loose peices to snort and choke on, it's in essence like you took a fun swim and were caught by a fisherman. Snagged by the snout.

Those who know me will readilly contest I fuck with it all the time, as the hook gets sloppy and hangs out of a nostril, making it look like I'm picking when I'm really just stuffing the hook back into place. Yeah right huh? Promise, I'd never deny a pick if I was picking as those are necessary human things. Do you poo a belch? There are forgivable belches. Five hardy belches? Someone needs to take that person to the restroom.

I woke up my pink hook was gone, which is very much my fault. It was fitted years ago for a new piercing to allow for swelling and I was well told I'd need to have it adjusted. It hadn't beeen much of a problem, so I never went back.

The missing was around 11pm and I bounced the entire Morgan clan from the bed to find it. It's small, so it was a stupid venture but all flopped onto the floor just the same to ignore DM having a fucking meltdown over a nose ring. Needle in a haystack.

Now is the time to note WHY I had a meltdown. First, I like it. I don't think I need more reasons but I have them. Second, I've been discriminated against for having THIS:

tiny nothing of a nussiance. With how pink I am, it offsets the entire stupid idea that someone might be offended by it. Third... what century am I living in? Fourth, look at the photo, short of me pulling on my nose.... are you seriously looking past my eyes to notice THAT????? It's microscopic. And lastly, I took a spear through my nose - to some, that is something to nod at. Those would be the people I'm apt to sup and drink with. Innovative and original? Not remotely, but anytime I see a nice tattoo or piercing... I give a nod of understanding, someone had an experience and that alone is awesome, even if trendy these days /yawn. Getting hard to be original even if I've had mine for maaaany years. This fellow has full ownership of the unique corner... I've never liked dragons so many!


Those are the reasons I lost my mind and had to get another piece of jewelry before earth exploded into dust and fragments from my angst. I can't say more why, it just happens to matter a lot to me. When you go through a lot of shit defending something, or standing up for something - however petty it is to other people, it carries a heavier load of defiance. I am extremely infantlike in tantrums in standing up for my expression - tattoos and my bitty nose thing, as it means absolutely nothing to how I behave as a human. Has it stopped me from getting work? Yes. I'm that obstinant. Want me your way or want me in the way in which I rock? Acceptance and worry of what others will percieve is on my last nerve. If my expression on my body hinders business, that person is living in a rerun of the Partridge Family, and I'd like to bring the gent who did my piercing and all these years later my adjustment for comparison - he is something out of National Geographic and I just want to fiddle with all the sparklies and distorted business on him. Don't be dirty, above waist.

Mr. Morgan, and not from my upset spell, took me straight away in the morning to replace it. As a former pierced person, he gets it. He didn't appreciate the cost and was intensely eyeballing a sign for the cost to pierce baby ears.

"Babies man..... that's just not right."
"Isn't it like circumcision? Better to get it done before it'll make a mental pain related scar?"
