Saturday morning I got an industrial. No, that is not my ear. Mine is not quite so clean looking right now because I have only had it for a few days, and it is obviously not going to be healed that fast.
But I find it amusing that it seems like very few people expect me to be into this kind of thing. I remember the beginning of Sophomore year, when I first came back to this school district. I had not been there since fifth grade. I ended up sitting next to one of the guys I had gone to school with and he recognized me, and commented about how he would never have thought I would be the kind of person to gauge my ears. This was obviously before I got the industrial, but still.
Then I get into Photography class today, and one of the girls in my group asks me if I just got it done. I said yes. Her response was “Wow, I didn’t know you were punked!” I was like … um, okay. Then her and the other two girls in my group went off asking me questions about whether or not it hurt, how it looked painful, how they wanted to or had their noses pierced, were considering their tongue being pierced, et cetera.
I have already decided I will not go beyond my ears. My belly button — I am not skinny enough for that. I do not have a reason to show off my stomach, and even if I did, I probably would not. My tongue, well. My mom had her’s done and wrecked many of her teeth, so I see no reason to go that far myself. I have no interest in the nose. Snake bites, I think, look really cool, but not so much on me. And beyond those “standard” piercings, just no.
I just found it kind of amusing that I obviously do not come off in real life how I actually am. I do not know if I am better at expressing myself here, but maybe I am not.
Anyway, not much else has happened. Valentine’s Day was uneventful, no surprises there. School is terribly boring and I would be willing to give up everything to be done with it for the year, and again no surprises there. I am immensely frustrated with my photography class, and I am getting more and more doubtful that anything good is going to come of it. Work is sometimes a blast and other times barely keeps me awake. Saturday morning I have a solo for Solo & Ensemble. Mind you, I hate soloing. I especially hate soloing on non-Jazz pieces. I would sooner improv a twelve bar Blues than play to you some normal piece that’s written out in front of me. And another thing, being the genius I am, rather than pick a piece that swung since I have such a tendency to swing everything, I picked something that’s straight.
Logic would tell you that playing straight notes is easier.
But I beg to differ.
1. What are your opinions on make-up? Do you wear it? Do you think people look better when they wear it? Do you think it’s worth it?
2. Do you have any piercings and/or tattoos? Are there any that you want? Did you regret getting any of the ones you have?
3. What kind of music do you like to listen to? Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind of music do you like to play?
Edit / One more question!
4. When talking to someone you do not know about a subject you are not sure if they have any knowledge of, is it better to give them more information than may be necessary to make sure they understand, or is it better to assume and speak in a way that you and other people understanding the subject will be able to comprehend? Giving too much information could make you seem full of yourself, yet giving too little could create just as many problems.
Classical violinist says swinging notes very much harder than playing them straight. Then again, that’s probably because I’m a VIOLINIST. Gee.
I actually don’t associate piercings with certain types of people- especially ear piercings. Tons of girls at my school have gauges, and they are by far not all from the same social clique.
Hm. Questions-
1) I don’t wear it, because it’s a pain and I don’t think I need it. Some people look better with it, some people look better without it. I don’t think it’s worth it, myself, but, like I said, I don’t usually wear it (well, except for cover-up of course) but for special occasions.
2) I thought about getting my ears pierced when I was younger, but I never bothered, and now I don’t have any piercings. I’m sort of indifferent to them.
3) Classical, rock… anything but rap or country. :P Like I said, I’m a violinist, and I usually have to play whatever the director of whatever orchestra says, but when I pick, I like Baroque- I picked the concerto I’m working on right now, so I’m doing Winter from Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons. :)
1. I don’t really have too much of an opinion. If you want to wear it, fine. I’m personally too lazy to get up and do all that. xD Plus, it makes me break out, but that’s not really the main reason I don’t wear it. I think most people do look better if it’s done right. I don’t really think it’s worth it.
2. I have my ears pierced, but that’s it. I do like them, and I don’t regret that I did it, but I wouldn’t consider doing it any where else on my body. I don’t have a tattoo, and I’m not really sure if I want one or not. If I do get one, I want it to mean something, not just something random, because it’s going to be with me fore the rest of my life.
3. I listen to a lot of country. (: I listen to pretty much anything really, not much rap though. and I play the piano. I love listening to jazz music, I really do, but I can’t stand playing it; it’s really weird. Something about it just wants me to pull my hair out.
4. Hmm. I wouldn’t talk about it like I was talking to someone who knew a lot about it, cause that could just confuse them and they could grow disinterested from not being able to understand. I would probably ask them if they wanted to know more about it, and if so, then proceed to explain.
1. I’ve given you my view on this already. c:
2. Oh, good god. I have a whole Word document on the body mods I want to get – would you like to view it? xD So far, I’m going to stretch my first ear holes until a minimum of 4g and a max of 2/0g (they’re at 6g right now, I think?), a lip or an eyebrow piercing, and a bellybutton piercing. As for tattoos, I’m going to get the card suits across my knuckles, a Russian phrase down my back, a lip tat (probably gonna be in Russian, too), and maybe a Heath Ledger quote somewhere. xDD I can’t forget about him.
I probably will regret these later in life, especially when I’m trying to get a job, so I /am/ trying really hard to be sensible and think this through. I do make rash decisions – when I want to do something, I do it; I’ll think about the consequences later. xD
3. I listen to a range of different styles of music, from rock to hip-hop to techno to Euro pop, and including everything in between. Right now I’m in a metal-ish state, but my all-time favorite band will forever be Panic! At The Disco. CCCCC:
1. I’ll never wear make up because I’ll always associate it with selling myself. Also, since I’ve never done it, I’d look ridiculous in it. Many people look awesome when they wear make-up but it’s not for me.
2. Ha, no. And no.
3. Oh I wonder. :D My instrument is the musical pencil. I’d like to play the keyboard/piano but I have no way to learn. ]x I sing and that’s it for now.
4. If I don’t know someone that well, I’m not going to talk about anything that may be obscure or esoteric. If it was someone I knew who didn’t understand, then I’d explain as much as possible.
1. Make-up. lol. I use to hate make-up, actually. I do wear it, but not all the time. Only cause I am quite lazy person. I wear it at school though – not all the time. I don’t really need it. I just put eyeliner on and mascara. That is about it. Sometimes whatthatcalled. err. cover-up. Yeah whatever. I sometimes put cover-up on, just because idk. XD I just do. I don’t really need make-up, my skin is pretty fair. And um not all the time. people use too much make-up and sometimes they look better without. Is it worth it? I think it is only worth it if you want to have make-up on. It isn’t really worth anything – it just what you want.
2. Nope! I am clean! I had an ear piercing when I was a baby, but it got infected because I am allergic to nickel, metal, gold, ect. whatever the case may be. But I see they now have different things to put through your ear. I want ear rings but there is a part of me where I don’t want it. I am also debating on piercing my nose. Only because I think it will look good and I do want it. But just I am not exactly sure. Piercings are very popular around our time right now – everyone has a piercing. Just I am not sure if it is my thing. For tattoos – lol. No. I don’t think I will get a tattoo, if I ever got one then it probably be because I want to put my parents name on my shoulder when they die. :) But that is probably it.
3. uhhhh. any. except rap (some are okay), screamo, metal, punk, ect. I don’t really care as long as it has a good beat. Nope. I don’t play one. :’D I did in 6th grade but I don’t count that since it was for the class.
4. I HAVE NO IDEA. you confused me. and I am distracted. D: so. I probably just go, “IDK. ASK SOMEONE ELSE SMARTER THEN ME. KAYBAII.” XD
