I have learned a valuable lesson...

Apparently, I'm not too keen on getting piercings. Other people can have them, but the idea of getting anything done myself gives me the shudders. I've never given it much thought before; the last time someone suggested I get my ears pierced was when I was about twelve. It scared the crap out of me then and it scares me now.

Thusly, I feel a sort of braveness coming out of this weekend-- I took a couple of my friends so they could get some work done (one eyebrow, the other navel) and I was in the tattoo-and-piercing place while they got it done. The antiseptic smell kinda made me want to puke, and thinking about piercings made me want to pass out, but I survived! ^_^ I really had no clue that it bothered me until then. It was about a zillion times worse than that time I accidentally went into a gaming store during a Duel Monsters tournament. Some of it definitely had to do with being out of my element, but I'm beginning to think I have a genuine fear here. At this point, tattoos are preferable, in my mind, to piercings.

I'm gonna go before I freak myself out any more.
