Where is everybody?

[Cammy]

My husband went on a much needed holiday back to the west coast where his uncle and aunt are. They are wonderful people. So now, I am all alone. I used to have my mom with me because I took care of her, but this aloneness suddenly is bringing her recent death to the forefront. It feels pretty awful. What I am really trying to say is that I tend to post in times when for whatever reason I feel isolated in the outside world. I come here and feel like at least there is a community of understanding people. When things are going super, I tend to post less. Distress is the trigger a lot of the time. By the way, I got my darn lip pierced yesterday with a nice silver ring. My husband is going to sh*t, but I have sacrificed a lot for him so I guess he's going to have to learn to live with it. I am NOT taking this one out. It's mine because it expresses on the outside what's on the inside. I can't see what one little piercing in the lip matters when I'm covered in tattoos. Fringe is fringe, but I am not hardcore like some people. If you really want to see piercing taken to its nth degree, Google Extreme Piercing Images and you won't believe what you will see. Still, I believe in personal choice, I just don't know how these people can get a job - it would be pretty hard to do with dozens of stainless steel horns implanted in your scalp or a face filled with dozens of piercings. To each his own, I say.
