and my nose ring, like other things to which I award the same recognition, has gone missing. Tonight I decided to stretch my ears… I guess in an attempt to obtain a new “makes me feel like me” thing. However, anyone who knows anything about me knows that no thing will ever do the trick. Not when what’s missing is really who. I’m excited about the gauges. Maybe they will teach me patience. Maybe they will physically hurt enough to be a distraction. Maybe. One two three STRETCH.
