I think I'm a closet earringomaniac. Though I may look otherwise, I actually have a secret fetish for any type of earrings with wonky designs on them, especially the big hoop ones. This may sound bimbotic, but I bought three pairs last Sunday and today I walked past the earrings stand and was compelled to buy more. Thankfully I swallowed the urge to spend another five bucks because I hardly wear them. I just like to have them sit prettily in my earring box, which is slowly overflowing. To date, I have 21 pairs of big hoop ones and a host of other types. 21 isn't such a big number, so it's not THAT bad...I guess. Gotta quell the inner bimbo.
It's that time of the year again where I begin to experience a growing urge to pierce another pair of earholes. My mom has written me off as crazy around earholes no. 4 or 5. It has become a sort of annual tradition eversince 2004, for me to coincide my earholes with the year. So next year's 2007, hence the urge to pierce earholes no. 7 (on each side). I walked past the jewellery shop today and was tempted to step in, and I had to keep reminding myself that 2007's not here yet, and I would be breaking with tradition. Plus, I didn't have enough dough in my wallet. People have asked what I would do when 2010 rolls around. I think my ears can survive another 3-4 holes and then I'm done. And no, I'm not going to pierce across my face. Strictly ears only. Anyway, three years is a long time. We'll see when that time comes.
