saffronhareExcerpt from my Free Will Horoscope this week: CANCER (June 21-July 22): ...The adventures you swore you would never have the courage to attempt are suddenly within your capacity. You can at least partially dissolve the one fear you've always believed would hobble you forever.
Hm. This is pretty timely of him, really. For my birthday every year, I try to do something that frightens me. I've got a full moon cycle in which to accomplish the task, but I have no idea yet what it might be this year. In recent years, I've been sort of a pansy about it and I feel a pull toward something Real. Monday's piercings don't count -- they were part of a separate bargain and weren't nearly terrifying enough. Thinking, thinking. I have a pretty unreasonable number of fears that hobble me in many ways. Maybe I'll just set up a dartboard.
Also, and. There was an odd moment when the dude at Irezumi's was giving me the aftercare pep talk when he said I should avoid licking these new piercings. Part of me paused and went, huh, when he went on to add that I should also avoid getting any bodily fluids on them. I must have given him a look, because he stopped in the middle of his spiel to say, right, you're not quite that kind of piercer, are you? I said no, carry on anyway, and managed to keep from giggling for the rest of it. I mean, really -- in my ears!?!?! Ew. Also, I should not go swimming in any ponds. Which is a great relief, let me tell you.
I have perhaps exceeded my daily allowance for commas now. Time to stop and get more work done. Productive morning. A bit slow. :) Must find more caffeine now.
