I went to Evolved today with my sister, Amanda. It was my first time there and we decided to get piercings together…well, two piercings each because on Thursdays it’s Buy One Get One Free! She got her tongue and her cartilage on her left ear pierced. I got my belly button and the cartilage on my left ear pierced as well. It was really fun. Amanda’s piercer was named Sarvas. He was only wearing a Native American loin cloth. It was hilarious and he was really nice. I got a guy named Ruben! He was a guest piercer which was pretty cool and he was really nice too. He looked like Russell Brand (the guy dating or married to Katy Perry…or the guy off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

I don’t really know why I got my belly button pierced. It wasn’t like I was dying to get it done, but I kind of got it as a joke because my mom isn’t a big fan of piercings and tattoos. She once said the only piercing she would approve of other than in the ear is a belly button piercing. I think she was lying.

This brings me back to when I first got my lip pierced the summer before starting junior year in high school. My mom told me I could get it and right when we went into the place, she started making me cry in front of everyone. She then asked me how I was going to pay when she already said she would pay for it. After I said I didn’t want to anymore, she paid for it to make me feel even worse. I cried all day. I only had it for two months. During the time I had it I liked it, but with braces and being a bit older, I don’t think it fits me well. Plus no one can really see my belly button piercing unless I lift my shirt up randomly for everyone to see. Who would do that though? Later!
