Last weekend was a Lost Weekend for my family. We spent it watching all 23 episodes of the first season of "Lost." After much prodding from friends, I finally decided to get on the "Lost" bandwagon.

Maybe it's just the color, but I can't say I'm too keen on the lip ones, though I imagine you'll swap 'em out once they heal, right? Were you going to stick with studs or put hoops in?
The nose one looks good, and probably always will, regardless of color or style.
hehe, well, they're not real actually...they're just stick on jewel thingy's that i had. i just wanted to see what it'd look like. but yeah, i wouldn't want blue lip piercings. i do like the nose too. i like the lips as well, but most people haven't liked those as much. except for people who themselves would do it...heh.
they look like the polka dots that mad madame mim has in the cartoon version of the sword in the stone. Especially not liking the lip ones.
Well you said to be honest...I don't like them. I don't really like piercings at all though, so it's not just that they look wrong on you. Piercings are not my thing really. That probably didn't help at all :)
Don't do it. You are much prettier without them. Stop trying to be someone else, ok? The lip piercings look retarded (in any shape or color), I don't even know what possesed me to do that when I was younger... You just don't have the face for it lolo, trust me on that, ok? I really don't mean that in a bad way, because you're not ugly, but they just aren't for you, you get what I'm saying? Probably not, because you hate me for being the only sane one... You know I'm not against piercings, I'm against them for the wrong people...
I think you would look best with just one lip ring. the nose brings too much attention to the upper half of your face with your glasses and two lip piercings is a little too excessive. love you! ~Ricky
thanks for all the input guys! i don't understand why you all think my face isn't right for piercings...i think they look good. but whatever. and all three is a little excessive, yes. i was just seeing what all of them would look like. meh.
oh, and wtf skiver, it doesn't matter what it is...you claim to have done it. and what do you mean you're the only sane one? i seem to remember many things to prove contrary to that statement. and it's not as theough the others here have said go for it, so i don't quite get what you meant by that. whatever. i don't believe you.
Why do you seem to think I'm a crazy idiot? I'm not, that's the insane notion I was talking about! And yes... I did go for a a lip ring once--I'm a big Depeche Mode fan, remember? I thought it was good, but it rather sucked, but I gather it was mostly becaue I was hiding it like hell from my family (heh). Everyone is stupid when they're 18. And yes, I've told you about that too, stop acting like all these things are coming out of nowhere...
And what the hell do you mean I'm not sane? You of all people were insane, because you're twisted point of view doesn't make sense... What have I done, or wanted to do, that was insane? Sky diving and cage fighting are perfectly sane to me, and probably everyone else here. I don't know what you could be talking about...
You have thoroughly hurt my feelings... How the devil is it that you've come to hate me? It's not like I killed your dog, or stole all your money or anything... So what? You have no reason to hate me, so stop please... I've been nothing but nice to you, and now you always retort with "wtf skiver"... You know that just plain hurts...
Simply because I'm all about throwing my two cents around, it doesn't really matter what someone else has or hasn't done, whether they've "learned" something and wish to pass on their experiences as dire warning. The only way for us to truly learn anything is to experience it for ourselves.
We've all got our opinions, and we're welcome to them, but trying to pass them off as an afterschool special lesson, "don't do that. I did that once and it sucked for me, and was a mistake, and it'll suck for you, too, trust me," that's bogus.
And what's up with that "stop trying to be someone else" crap? She is who she is, and if she wants to pierce her lip or her nose, or anything else for that matter, that's her choice to make, no one else's.
That is called being yourself.
Gah, so much freakin drama on the blog... but I agree with Ricky actually. I think it'd look too busy. I say a single lip piercing would be lovely- the double is too distracting. Plus I think the asymmetry of one would look nice on your face.
Aaaand thanks for coming to my party and for the wunderbar presents! Talk to you lata.
I'm sorry Mr. 1031, I hadn't intended on insulting you, so I apologize. I don't see where I stated any after school malarkey anywhere in there though... I said she wouldn't look right with them, and that her volition is being ushered by her peers... I know her well, and this isn't exactly her at all. That's all I said.
I'm sorry to you too Laura, I should have known better than to think you'd react well to me...
thanks for your input 1031 :). i would certainly agree that doing this isn't me trying to be someone else, but me seeing who i am and what i want. i hate how people always assume that since you're doing something you've never done before you're trying to be like someone else. that's retarded. opti, were you trying to be like someone else? this depeche mode guy perhaps? and how the hell could you hide a lip ring from your family? you'd have to walk around with your hand over your mouth. why don't you just BE yourself, instead of trying to be someone you're not. because you're clearly not comfortable being what you are, but you also are not comfortable trying to be who you want. just be you. fuck your family and if they don't like the things you are. that's lame.
hansy my dear it was wonderful to see you, i'm so glad i made it back!!! i have been inspired to get myself a henna kit..haha. yay! you're welcome for the presents, i hope that top fits :)
No, I was quite sure it was me, I just looked retarded. And yeah... that's how I did it (and I kept my head down and wore scarfs all the time)... Laura, you know who I wanted to be away from everyone bossing me around, I'm still trying to be myself (it'd be easier if my savings weren't blown though...).
You ask for an honest opinion, you get it. I like the nose stud. I don't really like the lip ones. I tend to like rings in lips more than studs, though. Have you considered that? Noses are all about studs. So damn cute!
I know I don't need to say it, but just do what feels good. Have fun! It's your body, your face. If you don't like 'em, eventually, you can just take 'em out.
BTW, thanks for making me a "glorious person". I feel so shiny! Someday I'll have to tell you something humiliating about me. :)
mike, it's not that i care that you don't think i look good with them, or that you did it and didn't like it and don't think it would look good on anyone else (or just me), it's that you assume you know me so well. stop assuming that. if i want to do it, then it's me. what don't you understand about that? i told you plenty of times that i'd thought about it. it's obviously something about me, otherwise i'd just drop it. i'm not being ushered in any way by my friends. most of the people i've talked to say it wouldn't look right on me. probably because i'm the type of person who is all sweet and you wouldn't expect to have piercings and stuff. but so what? just cause i'm sweet doesn't mean i can't have piercings and still be sweet. it's something i might want to do, i'm just waiting it out. and in the meantime, seeing what others think. a lot of people have said i shouldn't do it. a lot have said i should only do one. all the rest have simply said it's your body, do what you want. no one else has any say and if you don't like it you can take them out. which i'd say is probably the best way to think about it. i just have a very low pain tolerance. if there were no pain involved, i'd go do it today.
maybe just the nose, cutie
I'm more confused about what you just said than anything... We did know each other, ok? I'm not assuming anything, unless you lied to me all those months... Stop shutting me out like I never existed, it causes me more pain that I could have ever caused you...
I'm sorry, but I don't know what to say to you. I don't know why you want to do this, it's not as fixable as you seem to think it is, and I've tried pointing out the scars it leaves (some cases small, and others as large pock marks--trust me). I'm still worried you won't like it. I thought a lot of things were me, and quite frankly, other were right, and I regret some of them with most of my life. I know it's your body, but I know how stupid kids can be when they think they're being smart.
What do you mean your pain tollarance isn't high? That's pretty much all it's about, it isn't about looking pretty, because they don't inhance jack. And I think you think they hurt more than you're making them sound to being, or something (though you make shots sound painless--ew)... It does hurt a lot, but it's not the worst pain in the world (at least I don't think...). I've had to under go surgeries without going numb, which aren't too bad on good days, so I don't know how it will be for you. I don't know, I'm just confused why you want them, are you just trying to get rid of your sweet side or something (I mean appearance wise, I'm not calling you a slut or anything like that)? It sure sounded like that in your response... That's the best part of you, please don't ditch it.
You just confuse me Laura, you're just so... I don't know the word for it, but you're definitely something... I'm glad you still remember my name, and I'm glad you didn't just call me skiver again (I don't know if you forgot about it that time or not, but it hurt bad)
Wow. I didn't realize things were so tough in Kansas. Y'all can't afford anesthesia? Can't you make it out of all that corn or something?
right...ummm well i think you confuse yourself and try to think more deeply into the things people have said than they mean. what i said was that getting piercings wouldn't take away my sweet side. and yeah, they do enhance appearance. in my opinion anyway. and we all have our own opinions. no, i didn't forget your name, you just always freaked out about putting your name on the internet, so i refrained from doing so. but i couldn't that time.
you missed the entire point of what i said. it's ridiculous how much you ignore the point and reply with some off-the-wall comment that had nothing to do with what i said. i've told you before that i like piercings. i've told you that i've thought about getting them. i said just because i got pierced wouldn't suddenly make me a horrible person. that's bullshit. my pain tolerance isn't high...what's so confusing about that? i have a low tolerance for pain. i don't like getting hurt. that's not what piercings are all about, and if that's what you think then you have a lot more thinking to do. true, there are those who get piercings simply for the pain factor, but that's certainly not me, and you should know that. people get piercings because they are aesthetically pleasing, or mean something to the person. my friend caleb just got his eyebrow pierced the other day because he quit smoking. it was a way of reminding himself that he'd quit. it's the same thing with tattoos. sure, some people get them just to be cool, but many get them because they actually mean something. do you honestly think little prissy prep girls go in and get their belly button pierced or their lower back tattooed because they like pain? i don't think so...
maybe we 'knew' each other, but i don't think you really ever understood who i am. i don't know. you never seem to get it right though, no matter how blatantly i throw it out there. do you not remember our chat about piercings and tattoos? i mentioned it a number of times. you never said anything about having done it yourself. and you never tried showing me scars from getting pierced. and stop fucking calling me a kid. you're only a year older than me, you're not some high-and-mighty elder...jesus. you always act so important, it pisses me off.
just stop trying to understand me or know me or tell me what i should or shouldn't be like because you obviously don't know me and don't care to really read what i say, so whatever, just forget it.
i'll do what i want, and make my own mistakes if i feel that it was one.
and don't go replying saying "oh why do you hate me so much!? wah wah wah!" i don't hate you. i hate that you think i hate you, and that you refuse to just take what i say without thinking it's some direct insult on you. i'm replying to what you said. what you said kinda pissed me off. so my reply may sound a tad angry.
ugh.
oh, and mike, this is ridiculous and getting far too personal. so if you want to keep telling me what i should or shouldn't do, just email me or something.
You're all nuts.
i must agree dear chazy-butt
Look, I'm going off of normal knee jerk responses that I "thought" you were saying... Prissy girls get them cause they want to fit in, not to look good, I mostly see them as badges of courage though. I did mention it briefly, but I guess you over looked it like a ton of other things, not a big deal. I keep calling you a kid because you act like one a lot, and you've led the good life, and I'm jealous... I am reading what you say, and quite frankly... I'm really strapped with work and I'm all tired all the time, so I'm sorry if I sound like I'm saying stupid things (reading over it, most of it came out wrong, so ignore it).
We do have anesthesia down here (I'm not from Kansas, this is just where I have to be for a while). I just had a number of really dumb fuck doctors... I even had this one dentist that tried to lie and say I had six caveties!!! I had none, and I'm glad I freaked out at the needle to find out it was all fake...
Wow, this is all getting rather serious. No need for that. When I said that I didn't think they would look good, that was, and still is my opinion. But it's not my decision, or anyone elses, it's your decisionto make. Maybe some of what opti said was right, but at the end of the day getting into a fight over it is just a bit silly. I know they can leave marks, and maybe you won't like them and regret it later. But you might like them, and theres only one way to find out.
Much of what is being said is opinion. We all see the same things, but form different opinions about them, based on outrlikes and dislikes. So just because one of us doesn't like it, doesn't mean you won't Lohans. If you want to get piercings, you really want to. Get them. If that makes you happy, go for it. Doesn't matter what any of us think, you're the one thats got to live with it, so you're the one that has to like them. Whatever you decide, I hope you make the right decision for you. And can everyone please stop arguing, let the girl decide. Ok, I'm done.
Hope you all have a nice, HAPPY day, and no arguing, I mean it!
I think you think it was a bit more serious than it was... Lohans and I weren't fighting, I just thought, from my experience with her, that they wouldn't be right for her. And it's not an easy lesson to learn having to deal with that (or it sure sucked ass for me), because I liked piercings a lot when I was younger, but I got much more mild on it as years went by.
We've said our peace, no harm or foul between us (as far as I could tell).
I think I want to cry.
woah! your back!!
and loads of stuff has happened!
and i missed it all!
!!
!
p.s.
i at first thought those two pics were one and the same, and you had discovered a long lost sister or cloned yourself or something.
Studs or not, you're beautiful! My opinion is, you have such lovely lips full of character, and the studs distract. The nose one is clever, but you also have a wonderful nose, so what's the point? I say stick with using stickers for crazy nights out, and be your own gorgeous self the rest of the time.
You look sick in those pictures.
I agree with Becca 100%
