It hurt like hell for about a split second. I've had more painful things done, so it wasn't that bad.

Awesome.

Um, you did what exactly?

The LEEP thing, I take it, was the ‘more painful thing’ you’re comparing this recent whatever-you-just-did thing to, right?

shifuimam, that does indeed sound "uncomfortable." Yikes! Can you, for the record, clarify whether the LEEP procedure was the "more painful thing" or this other thing was? And what, pray tell, was the other thing you had done? Inquiring minds want to know...


You know you invited all of this, right?

Also, I just realized that my roommate came into my room and talked to me for several minutes while the above picture was smack dab in the middle of my 22" screen. Out of context, I think it'd be a bit awkward.

Oh, I know. Something tells me nobody's going to be harassing, however.

And, yeah. The LEEP was exponentially more painful than this. Take a burning hot wire and rake it across your skin. That's LEEP.

I once dated a girl with a left, it was fun to play with by I'd always picture it getting caught in my teeth or something.

What really hurts is when a girls tongue barbell gets caught in your hoops and she pulls her head back.

Yes, it is very painful.

I had an ex take that leap....after we had already gone our separate ways

Of course, once I found out I was forced to sample the goods... I ended up approving.

She ended up taking it out some years later however...found it kept getting caught in towels and her hair and whatnot, quite annoying I'm sure.

That's kind of surprising. Once it heals you're supposed to swap out the originals for straight barbells that are shorter - so short that you don't see much of the barbell; just the balls on either end.

I suppose it could be a problem if you got a circular barbell or a captive ball ring, though.

A lot of people choose to get hoops. I had both (not at the same time).

What gauge did you go with?

14. She said that's standard for girls. I might stretch them out to 12 next year, after they're completely healed and all the scar tissue is there.

Hmmm; I don't know the specifics to be honest. She had little pointy barbells (kind of like a stud) during the times when I, uh, examined them though...apparently those "worked best" with the particular activities going on...but she had other ones as well.

So I don't know the whole story. But she had very long, very thick hair, and apparently it became a problem somehow, in the shower and such.

I've noticed a severe lack of pictures from shif in this thread. This is wrong.

New vest. I've had the hat for more than two years, and I *still* can't decide if I like it or not.

Hat's not bad. You should get different glasses (not saying those are awful). Maybe a more square frame (either black plastic or silver/flat silver metal).

I also have a pair of brown square plastic ones. I just got two pairs so they'd wear a little more evenly.

I kind of want a new pair, but that's big $$.

Glasses for $8 usd. Tell them your prescription, pay less than 10 bucks, and get glasses.

That's rad. And, surprisingly, they have some good frames for $8. I have a weird head, so I'll have to make sure they're not too wide for my face, but I sense a shopping spree in my immediate future.

A vest??! What makes it exciting? Is it electric? Does it have blinking lights? Is it one of those sex vests? Did you steal it from a homeless person?
