A few things! One, I found a place to buy my comic books. I won't make full value, but they are so incredibly difficult to move that attempting to get full value would be like a full time job. I think I can get enough to cover most of hair transplants out of them plus a few games!! Took once box over there earlier as a test run and they gave me cash on the spot. ... Do surgeons usually accept cash?
Two, my courage is definitely way up. After selling my comics and just... I dunno, life? I was on a high, and I was deadset I was going to get my ears pierced, I was in the mall anyway. Piercing pagoda place was empty when I was in the comic store, and I went to head right to it after making the sale but in the meanwhile a huge family had setup shop... having like 3-4 infants ears pierced... and it was like... some big event I guess? So yeah they took over the place. I wandered over to Claires, as even though they are aimed at tween and teen girls, I read they are happy to do adult, presenting male or not, ear piercings and tend to be good. Unfortunately, once I got to the store and saw exactly what was in it... was a little much. But I was going to try, only one person in it so I was going to wait until they left just to not seem like a pedophile (seriously, it felt super creepy being there), rushing in to get your ears pierced is one thing,
waiting in line seemed like something else entirely. So went to look back at the piercing pagoda, no luck there yet, still on infant #1 or 2. Weird. Went back to Claires, now like 3 people in it just hanging out. Back to pagoda, the party continued. Back to Claires... like 5 or 6 people. This continued for like 45 minutes before I ran out of time and had to leave to go pick up my sister (I needed car so took her to school and borrowed hers for day). So while I can't say for sure I would have gone through with it, I really, really felt like I was going to and I was willing to stay as long as I needed to. (Also drank a Blood Orange Diet Coke while walking back and forth, super weird drink that I don't know what I feel about it.) I didn't even feel defeated afterward, just frustrated as any normal customer who didn't get a chance to buy what they were planning to buy because of crowds!
Third, apparently my lips have changed dramatically just in the past few weeks and I really only just noticed. I just sort of looked in the mirror a while ago and was totally confused. Asked my sister if she thought I was crazy and she said yeah she definitely noticed,
she thought I was wearing perfectly done lipstick for the past 3 days! (Like, lipstick and nothing else with visible beard shadow, which would be pretty weird.) So yeah. I don't know what the deal is. I didn't think HRT did anything to lips? If its a side effect of something else I really need to figure out what, because it looks
amazing.
(Edit: Also, I'm loving what hair I have lately and can't wait to get a full head of it. Sort of looks like Morena Baccarin's hair when she has it shorter and natural, where its totally curly but starts to go into waves. I am super, super curious how its going to end up!)
