This is actually something I've been thinking about lately — who I was and who I wanted to be — in my bout of nostalgia that began a couple weeks back. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, though.
PS at first I thought Gedanken was some anime you'd been watching till I realized. Duh. German. Don't tell my high school Deutsch teacher!
I couldn't as I have to have it re-done, the inner side has healed and the hole is gone (on the skin outside it is still visible and goes about half-way through).
I thought that while I can never be 25 again (and don't want to be) why should I not wear things that are dear to me, like my nose ring just to condone convention? And here are a lot of older women now who have a small diamond or something as a nose piercing, so why not my nose ring. And I think while I'm at the piercing studio, I want to have a lip ring as well :) One of those little bend arrows in black titan that curl around the lip :)
LOL - I thought that thoughts wasn't the right word but Gedanken has the right ring and meaning, so yeah from time to time my German heritage is showing :)
ooh, Gedanken carries a lot more meaning than "thoughts", so that makes sense.
When are you going to get the piercings? I've thought now and then about a small nose stud/diamond, but I think it would depend on where I end up working. Granted, after a while you can take it out — and not sure one would look good on me — but some so-called professional places look down on piercings. I've thought about getting another tattoo, as well, but nothing has really come to mind that I'd want.
