I met a girl called Sam through my workplace in December. She’s my mini-me (who’s taller than me) and although she recently found a new job, we’ve stayed in contact. ‘Cause, seriously, this girl is cool. And apparently, a bad influence on me too.
We arranged to meet up this afternoon and have lunch at a place called “Buffet City”, which is a Chinese restaurant…but an “all you can eat” buffet.
We both managed two small plates before we decided we were full and left.
We started wandering around the city centre, not sure what to do but just chatting while we walked along.
And the subject turned to piercings…and I think you probably have a good idea where this is going…
I wanted to go into my usual piercing place to get a new lip ring and so off we went. As we walked in, Sam’s all “Hmm, I REALLY want a new piercing. Do you know if they have any piercings for £20 or less?”. I didn’t, so we went to the counter. Sam looked down the list and found the piercing she had really wanted for a few months and it was in her price range. I was innocently enquiring about some of the piercings I was kinda interested in getting at some point.
Well, between Sam and the person on the counter, I got talked into getting a piercing I’ve wanted for about…two years?
Long story short: I am now the proud owner of a septum piercing^.
After we got pierced, most of the shops in the city centre had closed, so we decided to go home.
The jewellery I’m wearing in my new piercing is a horseshoe ring and it’s flipped up, so no one can see it. It’s a ninja piercing. 
I’ll put photos up when the piercing is healed enough for me to be happy pulling the jewellery down.





I liked this group the least (as did Myke) but they had cool stage effects, with their backdrop gates going up in flames. That kinda made up for the fact that you couldn’t actually hear what they were singing; it was SO loud.
