I have trouble wearing jewlry that I cannot wear constantly-- in bed and in the shower too, so another reason why I avoid it.
On the boss front, I realize that one of the things I fake really well is being well-socialized, but really I am just an awkward weirdo who doesn't know how to talk to or read people at heart, and man does that part of me come out when I am tired. I thought boss was annoyed at me because she was busy and I was not taking enough initiative and so I took more initiative. Instead she was annoyed at me because she thought I was not telling her enough of what was going on and she felt like I was acting too independently and didn't think she was my boss. Holy misread Batman!
Yeah, Amy, my cartilidge piercing hurt for a looong time.
Now I know to go needle if I ever get the third one done like I've been kinda meaning to.
Your third ear?!?!?
Phew, Sophia.
Libkitty, that's awful. I wish you all the strength in an impossible situation.
Yeah, I take my jewelry off when I come home too. Except the sleepers. For a while I was leaving thread earrings in my main 5 ear piercings, but they started knotting. But they were the only earrings comfortable enough to lie down in. And I lie down a lot at home.
I love jewelry shopping at etsy and uncommongoods.com. My two web go to places. There was also somewhere that sold silver jewelry with cheap gems for the price of shipping but I can't remember the URL. They were sometimes good for $6.
YES JESSE THIRD EAR.
Third cartilage piercing, der. Which would bring that ear up to 7. And full done. Just one on the other side. Not sure why.
Sophia, things sound good with your boss, despite the mis-reading of each other. That's great to hear.
I wear necklaces probably a couple or three days a week.
I wear a necklace every day; I vary between 3 or 4 and swap pendants back and forth on the short chain all the time.
I wear 3 rings every day -- an old silver (or white gold) filigree ring with a ruby that was my grandma's, a silver ring with a solitaire amythst (that can't be the right spelling) cut as a hexagon, and a silver band that's just Celtic knotwork all around.
I fell out of wearing earrings when one piercing got infected, and I haven't worn earrings in a long time. I used to wear them every day without fail.
I never wear any jewelry to sleep or in the shower, though.
YES JESSE THIRD EAR.
Hee.
I have many ear piercings (6 and 3, I think), but never wear earrings any more.
Except in Nepal and a rare few other occasions, I never buy my own earrings. My parents do (in Nepal, I only bought them because I knew my mom wasn't into the whole crazy bargaining/tea/chat thing that happened with shopping there, and damnit if I was going to leave there without local jewelry!) With the exceptions of the Nepal ones, if they weren't from my parents, I don't wear them much at all. They share my taste in earrings 99% of the time, so it's a nice situation.
