Probably good advice---I think there's a tattoo parlor that does piercings for 25$, but I haven't gone in there yet to find out which ones. I never have much time, but my mom pointed it out to me the other day...

And I'll be sure to make sure when I do get one, that they'll custom bend a screw.

*clears throat* Too late for Claire's. I had gotten my second set of piercings there. I think the girl screwed my ears up a little (one looks a tad higher than the other side, but I can never be exactly sure). When I was six, and got my ears done, I had a gun done. And the girl threatened me! O_o Sheesh... I did have a needle for my belly ring, I think. I was trying to hold my breath, in order to calm myself down (I tend to do that a lot, with anything) and right in the middle of the procedur, it's like, "You can breath, you know". Eh... it's wasn't that bad; felt strange. Now I don't feel a thing, unless my jeans press against it and get it caught. XD

Mbif, curious to why I would/should hide my nose stud if I work? Just wondering *how* you meant that---heh, if you meant that they may not allow it there---there's been at least seven different waitresses with nose studs, and a few other people (cooks/dishwashers/etc.). *chuckles* I'm way jealous of them. But I'll keep everything in mind. ^^ I want to save up a little first. And pay off my credits cards for those pants at Hot Topic. *clears throat*

...by the way, I tried to dye my hair purple a few days, but it washed out. x_x Ugh, that was terrible... Is there any kind of dye I could use on my hair that'll last 4-6 weeks, that'll fade gradually, yet works in a lightened brown-colored hair? I tried dying the front strands of my hair and then random streaks through the rest, and it all washed out (yet was SUPPOSED to stay it for 4-6 weeks. *rolls eyes*). I had to resort to red hair dye in a can:

Surprisingly, it came out nicer than I thought it would, and got a lot of compliments on how great it looked; but I wanted the purple! *LOL* And yeah, that's me---I'm scary (but I don't bite!).
