More Holes...

I got my belly button pierced. Sort of hypocritical, I know. I have made many comments in the past degrading belly button piercings. I've sorta had a change of heart. I guess getting my belly button pierced is a sorta fuck you to the idea that you have to be insanely skinny to show off your body. Except I don't think I'm the type to make that kind of statement. I guess I can become that person. I also think it's not quite the same thing to get your belly button pierced if you have lots of other piercings. I guess if I saw me, I wouldn't think "Oh, she's just another preppy girls" I'd have more of a "Awesome piercings" thing. It's still hypocritical though. No excuses!

I've been thinking about why I got my lip pierced. At the time I didn't really have a reason besides I kinda like them on other people, and I wanted to get something pierced. Now, I think that reason is enough. I like looking at the shape of people's lips, and I like when lip rings artfully bring attention to the lips. I'm not saying the lip ring necessarily makes my lips look better, but I'd like to think it causes the reaction I have when I see people with lip rings--"Ooo that's cool/attractive/hot" (depending on my mood and the person) I feel like I don't know many people who have that reaction, though. The most recent statement by an acquaintance was at the Reel Big Fish show. I saw a guy on stage with both sides pierced and I wanted to tell him I really liked them on him (of course I wasn't loud enough). When I told my friend that (he was wondering why I was trying to yell at the people on stage) he said "Oh, so he was twice as dumb". Thanks man. He was probably joking, but I'd still rather be around people who would agree with me that piercings can be damn hot.
