Ashlee Kent: Piercing Adventures.

I have not blogged in forever. I feel kind of bad about it. Its like how you used to forget to write in your journal forever and then when you finally remembered you felt guilty that you neglected it for so long. That's how I'm feeling right about now. Anyway. There is a lot I could blog about right now but I don't really have the time because I'm at work. My best friend Shelby is prego though and I'm so excited for her. She is going to be a cute mommy and I'm going to be an auntie. I'm pretty happy about it :) being an auntie is great, you can play with the baby whenever you want to, but when they start fussing you give them back to their parent haha. Just like I do with cute Zailee. I love her. Oh and Sheebies we will have to have a baby shower for you :) and I wanna see pictures of your little nugget!

Well onto the next story. This last weekend was Taylor (Hole)'s birthday so we had to have a little celebration. Friday night we all drove down to Ogden to get pierced. It was a little stressful getting down there because we had to rush so they had enough time to pierce all of us before they closed down the shop. We got there at 7 and there were a couple of girls getting pierced before us. (They got down south pierced and it was funny watching them waddle out after they got it done.) When Paige, Taylor and I were sitting on the bench waiting for Adri and Lindsee to get done (because they only let 2 ppl back in the room) some random guy comes up and starts talking to us. He came out of the employee only room so I figured he worked there and was just giving us shit because we looked nervous. He started asking us what we were going to get pierced then all of a sudden he got really serious and was all, "I'm getting my lip pierced so let me go first." None of us girls even knew what to say cuz he was kind of being an ass to us. Right as he said that the girls walked out the room and Paige, Taylor and I got up as fast as we could.

Once in the room Paige decided she was going to go first. The piercer was running around like a crazy man getting all the needles and stuff ready for us. He marked Paige up real fast and before I knew it she was laying down with a needle through her ear. Now the part that hurts the most about getting a piercing isn't the actual needle going through, its how they get the jewelry in that kills. They had what he called a receiving tube that catches the needle. Then they thread in a pipe that has the barbell on the other end of it. Once that is in they take the tube out and screw on the ball. It hurts really bad cuz they have to be really rough when they do it. Paige handled her piercing well though and she was done in a flash.

I was up next. I have had NUMEROUS piercings before, so it was probably really funny to see me being as big of a baby as I was. I laid down on the table waiting for him to get me all marked up when I started to panic and kept saying, "No no i don't wanna get this done, its cool dude don't worry about it, I'll just get something else. I'll get my money back, I just really don't want to do this." Paige and Taylor pushed me down on the table and were like, "Dude you are getting this done." Before I knew it I had the needle through my ear. the barbell in and the ball screwed on. I looked in the mirror and screamed cuz I liked it so much. Lindsee was all, "haha did you scream when he did it?" Me, "No I just screamed after it was done cuz I liked it so much haha." (Oh PS this is funny, when we were sitting on the bench waiting for Linds and Adri to get done it was pretty quiet in the shop when all of a sudden you hear Adri say, "That's it? Yay I did it, I really did it!" She cracks me up :].)

Anyway, we had 4 piercing done and one more to go. Taylor was up next. I was actually out on the bench when she was getting hers all marked up cuz there was this lady talking to Linds. I thought I would keep them company until I realized she was talking about nasty stuff so I went back to the room. Taylor had her piercing all done and he was just putting the jewelry in and we were all finished. Yay we all did it! It was a way fun experience and we came out alive. The plan for the rest of the night was to go to Applebee's in Layton and get our favorite meals. Oriental Chicken Roll up. Ahhhhh its amazing. Don't worry I ate my whole meal before Lindsee and Taylor could finish theirs (and they shared). We had a crazy waitress that kept talking about her nipple piercings. She would come up to our table, ask how our food was and then just stare at us. I didn't like it. The manager came up to ask us our how food was (we tried to ignore her, long story) and I started bitchin' about how the roll ups get smaller and smaller every time i go there. She tried to convince me that the roll ups are measured and haven't changed in size, but I'm not an idiot and I don't believe her. Stupid lady.

After we got some food in our bellies we headed back home, complained about how bad our ears hurt, and fell asleep at about one. Here is a picture of what we all got pierced...
