Self portrait I took this morning. I’m working on my portfolio for a photography class and I’m focusing on portraits. I’m looking for creative lighting and ways to make portraits really unique, so this morning I took some tissue paper and lamps (and the flash on my camera) and ended up with this. I like it.
I finally changed it and I am SO happy with it! I have in an Anotometal synthetic opal/titanium piece.
Choosing a roommate is hard.
All these girls seem so nice!
And I’m afraid I’ll decide I want to room with someone right around the same time they find a different roommate, and I’ll have to start over after I’ve finally picked.. This really is like online dating. You have to be compatible, you judge at first glance on their profile picture and listed “hobbies,” and then you hope the good vibes are mutual.
Oh and how awkward will it be if someone wants to room with me that I’m not that into? Ugh. And maybe I’m being silly because I don’t want to room with someone from Texas (my state). But I’m going to an out-of-state school for a reason, and that kind of takes it back a few steps, right?
But I did find someone I really liked, at least based on our initial conversations and what I’ve seen of her! Maybe that’ll work out for me.
I want to get a triple forward helix like this SO BADLY but I’m so scared because:
•I have a pretty low pain tolerance and most people say it hurts like a bitch.
•This would be much harder to hide from my mom than my belly button. I’m 18 but still not supposed to get any more piercings until I leave for college.. She won’t know about my navel but there’s no way I’d make it another 7 months without her seeing any new ear piercings.
•It has more chance of infection just because it’s a cartilage piercing and I do not want that. I don’t even know what happens or what to do if it did get infected.
•It’s painful post-piercing too. Found quite a few people saying it hurt to smile or chew for a couple days or even weeks.
•It might not even be worth it because my hairline goes down a little more in front of my ears (sideburn-ish, but not in a manly way) and it kind of covers that part of my ear even when my hair’s up. So maybe you wouldn’t even be able to see it??
THE PAIN, MAN, I JUST REALLY DON’T KNOW IF I CAN TAKE IT.
But it looks so cute! I’m seriously obsessed.
I might get just one done, and if it doesn’t hurt as much as I’m afraid it will, then I’ll go ahead with all three in one sitting. I really would like all three but just one would be fine if I turn out to be too wimpy for them.
Piercing problems. Rant. Personal. Thanks for tolerating lol.
I haven’t been on tumblr in over a year, but a couple days ago I started trolling my dashboard again and discovered it’s still pretty perfect. I may start posting again. I haven’t decided yet. I’ll eat and do Thanksgiving tomorrow and decide later.
Hope everyone’s been well, especially my old occasional tumblr penpals!
