But, I'm getting my ears pierced tomorrow. I wanna look pretty! Over here, everyone is making a HUGE deal what my ears aren't pierced (I'm 19..) so I have been thinking about it and why not. It'll be cool.
I'm glad you're excited about your ears. I think its a little dramatic to call it self-mutilation, but I'm glad you're stoked.
It's body modification, not self-mutilation. And having your ears pierced is definitely cool. Enjoy pretty earrings!
