I'm still around, but the crappy phone company is taking forever to connect the phone and the internet people say it'll be a week after conection before we can get broadband back (what if had a terminal illness and could die from not having a phone to call an ambulance???)assholes.

And I'm busy with tafe I now have 27 hours a week and a new class, plus I'm trying to get my portfolio together because now is the time to start applying to next years courses<sp(I'm appying to more than one just in case)


Apart from that I've been trying to get my septum pierced and things keep on happening like the peircer gets sick and has to cancel or I have a panic triggered by not eating or she has familly emergencies or she thinks I'm overly stressed and may pass out so she (being responsible) would prefer not to do it .

As a result I've gotten very jittery over the whole thing, every time we try I get closer to the right headspace but still I'm very built up over it.
And I'm sure I still want the nifty hole to spite all this.
Do you have any tips on how not to get that adrenaline rush that can spin you out before a piercing?

Thanks

And in other niffty news
I got flirted with yesterday
By somone who's not 40+ or wierd or twisted who didn't ask if I wanted to got for a ride in their car and who I'm interested in too .........well I think it's nifty and it's never happened before.

On the piercing...

Glucose tablets or a good ammount of food before you go. Gelatin works well (although I don't eat it anymore being vegan). Lots of gelatin. Or just stick with the glucose tablets.

I thought they made plant based Gellatin, these days... Although I suppose the beef based gelatine is still the rule, people not wanting to change, especially when money is involved...

Ask your piercer what they would suggest, food-wise. I'd say light stuff, not too sugery as that can over excite you. Don't take any medication before had such as asprin - it increses bloodflow. And very important, if you can do, take someone with you, to hold your hand, help you stay calm and look after you if you do feel lightheaded.

The idiot phone guys conected us and the nice canadian lady was working today so we have internet.

I was thinking tabouli salad as it has laods of good swtuff with out phlem or preservatives or being heavy.

I was going to ask jordan if he'd like to come with me but when I thought about it the conversation went something like this.



Not so great but you know if I wait a bit maybe I could ask the afore mentioned boy yes/no/maybe

Or you could just eat some of everyones favourite food: jelly!

Good luck!

Why would you want to get rid of it?
