Funny story about that tongue ring.

On night shortly after I had removed it, I had JUST left a friends house when I was 'pulled over' by a cop.

While searching for my 'proof of insurance' I pulled a large stack of cards out of my wallet and started sifting through them.

While doing said, I noticed the little baggie, sifted past it, and so did he.

He said, "What is in that little bag?"

I said, Oh, and sifted back toward it, then showed him and said, that is my tongue ring.

He started for a moment then said..."You have your tongue pierced?"

I said, I did, I became a preschool teacher and decided it inappropriate.

He then was silent for a moment, shut off his flashlight and said,

"You're free to go..."

What better way of testing the structure of your belief than by imposing patterns of it's dissolution and profiligacy into your very core.

a tongue ring feels comforting

Yes.

It was a bit of a 'spur of the moment' choice just after I moved to Seattle at 18, in 1995. It was brand new to the mainstream at the time.

I only lived in Seattle for 8 months, due to getting extremely home sick.

When I returned to the town I grew up in, people were so horrified by my tongue ring, my parents included, they would stare at me, mouth agape, in horror and walk away.

As it became more prevalent, this stopped.


Yes.

I would often play with it.
I would run it back and forth on the back of my front teeth...making a distinctive sound.

But, once I hit my early 20's the novelty had worn off...

Only if that's what reflects your inner monologia.

Truly....

I've mostly given up TV

In favour of music

Still.... there are times when it is wonderful to have something think for us

What's on tomorrow?

Did I tell you of the time I couldn't find the 'power button' to shut off my TV, another had turned on?

It had been so long since I had turned it on, that I couldn't find the power button in the dark.


After searching fruitlessly, I had to turn on the light to locate it.
