well that just plain sucked...

today i went to go get my eyebrows waxed. (i know, gross isnt it...) i noticed my eyebrows were getting rather unshapely this morning so i called the salon i usually get them done at and asked if my stylist, micki, was working. she was. so i went up there to get my eyebrows waxed. well... she had never waxed someone with eyebrow piercings, and id never taken them out before, so this was quite the experience for both of us. after pondering what to do, we finally made the (very bad) decision to go ahead and try to wax without removing the hardware. this was stupid. we got wax all wadded up around them and then couldnt get it off, so, like idiots we're trying to use cotton balls soaked in alcohol and the cotton sticks to the wax. so i have this big huge green ball of wax and cotton stuck to my face. i might add that this was not very attractive, at all. and people are starting to stare. finally we get the gunk off the piercings and decide to take them out. that went all well and good, but then i had trouble getting them back in once she was done waxing. read that as: its a really bad idea to attempt screwing little metal cone-shaped ends onto tiny tiny pieces of barbell when you have fake nails on. i dropped one of the ends and it took forever to find it. these little guys are about 1/16 of an inch or so. long story shortened: next time ill take them out before we wax and ill try my damnedest to NOT have fake nails on when i do it. zort zort.

Note: it usually only takes 5-10 minutes for the wax... today it took 45 minutes. :\

Ye Gods! I'm a guy and I know better. Then again, I have stainless in more sensitive areas. :x

Oh man...I had my eyebrows pierced a long time ago, I had a loop in with a little blue ball...I waited about 2 months before I saw a barbell with really cool green-blue balls at the end, and I took out my loop and tried to put the barbell in, and not only did I spend about an hour trying to get it in, it hurt like hell when I gave up and put the loop back in and then lost the ball in the community bathroom in my dorm...and then because I had messed with it so much it got infected and I had to give up on the piercing altogether. I felt so stupid. Oh well, there are worse things in life.
