My First Tattoo!!!

I wish I had a picture of my mother's face when she read that title.

Oh, and this is a joke, by the way; I just got my cartilage pierced. Mama - that's what you get for not responding to my Facebook chat message.

Also, FUCK. I just wrote this entire long blog post, and my internet kicked me off right after I tried to post it. I'm gonna go ahead and add "internet" to my bad things in France list.

Anyway, today I went to a piercing shop to buy a new nose ring, and left with a new piercing. Of course. But, in my defense, I did leave with a new nose ring too. It's bright blue and beautiful. I would take a picture to show you, but another fun thing about my bedroom in this apartment is that it doesn't have any lights. I'm basically in a cave of darkness right now, which I don't feel is very conducive to picture-taking. I'll take one tomorrow :)

So, the cartilage piercing hurt a ton - much more than my nose piercing did - but it looks cool as hell, so I am definitely happy with my decision.

OH MY GOD. The new Desperate Housewives came on last night, which means I can watch it now! I mean . . . I don't watch that trashy show either? Okay, don't judge me. I'm a straight-A student studying in France and becoming bilingual. I fully admit that the shows I watch are horrible, and I embrace it. At least it's not Fox News, right?

So anyway, I'm in love with my new piercing. A few people want to get tattoos while we're in France, but no worries everyone - I will definitely not be partaking. It's not that I'm against tattoos; it's just that I can't think of anything important enough to have on my body for the rest of my life. Maybe I'll get one in the future, but here's my thought: if I have to wrack my brain for a tattoo idea, then it's not meaningful enough. It should be much more important than something that I come up with just so I can get a tattoo.

Sidenote: every time I tuck my hair behind my ears I hit my new piercing and it hurts. A lot. This is always the worst stage of new piercings. But also the best, because you're all excited about how new it is. I still haven't gotten sick of my nose ring though - actually I'm still completely in love with it.

Okay, so that's pretty much it. Today was a success: new piercing, new nose ring, and no rain. Wonderful.

Now, I have to go read an entire Moliere play. Wish me luck :)

Love, Josie
