Aw, you're all so sweet. Yes I'll be piercing my ears very soon. Well, I'll actually only need to pierce my right ear. I pierced my left when I was young, and the hole is still open even though I haven't worn anything in it for a decade.
It's so awesome to finally be at a point where I can say I accomplished something, that things aren't hopeless. But trust me, haeden, some days I get out of bed looking dreadful. π
