I JUST GOT MY NOSE PIERCED!!!

AAAHHHH!!! can you believe it!!! i'm in denial or something. i'm not sure what i think of it, its a little bigger than i wanted so i'm unsure, but irina really likes it so that's encouraging. ooooh, i dunno.... ahhhhhhh. i really want to like it. i just spent 70 bucks on it, i better like it! knickers is gonna kill me, but she's been so downright rotten lately that i figured "who cares?!?!!" yes, quite exciting really. for those of you not around (or no longer working because you're now on maternity leave) i put some pics on my flickr account. i hope you like it, and at the same time i hope you don't just say you like it to be nice.

so this morning as i made my bed i got thinking about my friend lana. we rarely have contact, but we went on a road this summer and had a really fun time. then when i'd been at work for 15 minutes the phone rang and there was this woman with a chinese accent saying "you're at work already??" it was lana!! it was sooo nutts. she said she'd been thinking about me this morning but didn't have my number only my business card. it was so funny and random! so i got her email address and i'm going to go visit her in T.O. some weekend in march. she's really awesome and i really admire her. lana gave me my chinese name "ting-ting". there was some debate over its meaning, she claims it means "young girl" and vanessa another hong-kongese girl in our old office said it means "stream or river". one of our co-workers overheard that and suggested it means "babbling brook" due to my excess talking :( but mrs kinney loves me so i take no offense at her little jab.

you say that its black when i know that its white.
its always the same, its just a shame that's all.

Wow..Les!
It looks good! You are a brave woman, and knicker will have to deal with it. You know she'll probably be jealous. I thought you were going to do some hot yoga tonight?!

my plans got all screwed up tonight. i didn't do anything i had planned and yet did all sorts of stuff i didn't plan. like pierce my nose for example.

i'm smart, i went to the head of our HR department and asked if BBD has any policies against facial piercings. the answer was "there are no policies, as long as its tasteful". and i've been told it is. everyone so far really likes it. knickers may surprise me, she didn't care at all that i'd been to the andy warhol museum. she said what i do in my own time is up to me. so maybe i'm underestimating the old goat (as mayelin referred to her).
