After three years of not having a dentist and ten months of waiting on the NHS list, I was finally given a dentist last month. Today was my first visit there.
It didn’t start well – it was in an area I didn’t know very well and despite all of the maps and directions I was given, I STILL managed to get off the bus at the wrong stop and had to walk 15 minutes. The stop I was supposed to have gotten off on was right outside the dentist. 
I went in, filled out the forms and sat shaking and nervous for 15 minutes and then was called up.
The dentist looked at my teeth, especially the one with the dodgy root canal. She said she can fix the root canal by redoing it (thank God for that because it’s £700 if I had to find a private dentist to do it). She can also fix the discolouration of the tooth (it’s kind of grey because the last dentist left it open for over a year).
There were no other problems with my teeth – no fillings are needed or anything, so I’m really happy. 
Other than my root canal, I’ve never had a filling and I’ve been worrying that I might need one (or more) because of the energy drinks and sugary deliciousness that I consume.
Yay – my teeth are going to get fixed.

My new friend Sam – Miss Bad Influence – and I went in to the city centre to get ANOTHER piercing.
This is my 27th piercing.
I had my left nipple done.
I thought it was going to be REALLY painful but it really wasn’t very bad. The needle didn’t hurt going in but it hurt coming back out. Having the jewellery inserted was the worst bit. I can’t wait to get the other one done!

I recently got my septum pierced and I thought I would share some of my thoughts on getting it done, what happened next and stuff.
On getting it done: it was painful. I have had more painful ones done in the past; my anti-tragus was MUCH more painful, but this one was still quite *omg ow*. I’ve had a look at Tribal Voice’s (the place where I get all of my piercings) FAQ’s^ and they say that the septum is one of the most painful piercings they perform. This isn’t to put anyone off, mind – if you want it done so badly, you’ll get it done regardless of the pain factor. You’ll also feel really good about yourself (like I did) if you come out of the piercing studio after only saying “ooh, hurt” and not crying like a baby. 
On how it looks: one of my favourite things about this particular piercing is the fact that it is very easy to hide. My mother is VERY anti-piercings and to be totally honest, she would have a heart attack if she knew I had this piercing. She tolerates most of the piercings I have but loathes my lip and finger piercings but the septum piercing is one of those ones she particularly despises. I know I’m 24 but I live at home and have to respect (or at least pretend) her opinions. Also, Myke hasn’t said so but I don’t think he liked the piercing very much, so I’m having to keep the piercing “flipped up” pretty much all of the time. This honestly just makes the piercing THAT MUCH COOLER because I now have a SECRET piercing.
When the piercing IS “flipped down”, it just looks like I have little balls stuck under my nose. It’s kinda cute:
