a second hole - 03:30 PM
bummer.
i almost had my tongue pierced a second time today. well it did actually get pierced .. i went to the piercing place, had it done then went to the shops to spend some serious time with a slurpee or two. toward the end of the slurpee i found a little silver ball that was very much not attached to anything, floating around under my tongue!
so i'm in the middle of indooroopilly shoppingtown with a barbell half hanging out of my tongue trying to find some toilets that don't have a huge line waiting so that i can have a look at the damage. there's heaps of people everywhere so i stick my tongue out in the mirror anyway. there's no way that i'm going to stand there with a million women watching me play around with my tongue while it bleeds everywhere & i can't see the bottom of the barbell anyway so i figured the only thing to do was take it out.
i went back to the piercing place as soon as i'd finished my shopping & he tried to push it back through first from the top (that killed!), then from the bottom (that also killed!) but it was no good. the swelling must have already started & the hole was too tight. so now i have to wait a week or two till i can get it re-pierced.
like i said .. bummer.
[edit, 6th of may 2003: wasn't that the start of something?! that's what was supposed to be the second hole in my tongue & the third hole in my body (i used to have my belly button pierced, too). i now have (hang on, let me count them ..) six holes in total poked in me in various places.]
