At least I get to poke around in other people's dwellings. ;oP
Also, can you tell I suck at sharing the intimate details of my life? lol.

Failure to thrive". Ever been to BME.com? You should go.
To be honest, I've become quite addicted. Call me crazy, but body mods and piercings (some certain types in particular) are something I have a little fetish with. Don't ask me where it came from; believe me, it's not from family. I have a sister (1 of 4) with a tragus piercing, a retired nose stud, and a couple tattoos but that's the extent of it. This little fascination of mine has come out of the woodworks in full force lately, and I can't help but contemplate my next little adventure.
I ask myself what I find so interesting with them, and something about them seems so sensual to me. So different; so oddly attractive.
You'd never realize it, because I certainly don't seem the type to have a load of piercings. But I can't help but think that's half the fun. Who would ever suspect the nice girl from Manitoba, the small-town girl, could have a profound interest in metal? Certainly not I.
I'm not saying I'm unique in any way, just interested.
The fact of the matter is; where's the nicest, cleanest, most respectable piercing parlour around here? I'm looking for a new addition. :oP
So, another new year has arrived. It's 2007 and with the change in date comes so many more rituals than would originally follow the coming of midnight. Yes; the dreaded New Years Resolutions.
When thinking about the new year ahead of me (which, mind you, feels no different at all), I too have given into the cliche of bettering myself in the new year by creating New Years resolutions. They can be great things to make; even though I thoroughly believe that waiting for a new year to make these changes is kind of ridiculous.
I'm all for rising out of bed knowing how I want to make my world a better place. I like to think I try my best at that.
It's just, typically when you ask someone what their New Years resolutions are, it's often incredibly superficial. They're about appearances most often than not.
I'd love to see a change in heart. Do what you choose with your body in order to feel more confidence, by all means you have the right to. I just wish people would consider the fact that the new year doesn't revolve around themselves.
Now, I could be a little hypocritical since I myself can be very selfish. But I'm working all the time to change that.
Let's consider selflessness this time around. I think it would be nice for a change.
And looking back on this, I'm sure I seem preachy. I'm not a saint by any means; there's no way to go around that. I love the fact that people are making any goals at all. But it's like wishing for world peace (to quote Miss Congeniality, :oP); sometimes you thoroughly believe in what seems to be unreachable.
