Meanwhile, inside my ear

[lady_kishiria]

So, I have this zit inside of my left ear. It hurts like a bastard, so of course I cannot stop poking it.

Why do we do this? Is it that we wonder if the next time we poke, it won't hurt?

Pain reminds you that you're alive?

No, that can't be it.

But... I do the same thing. If it's there... I poke/pick it.

Dunno about you...

But for me, I have a complex with ANY lumps on my skin. I can't stand them. (Also why I rarely wear any jewelry.) I used to chew off warts when I was little... x_X

I had a wart on my hand once when I was little and I chewed or scraped it off too. Happily, I have not had any since.

I don't wear a lot of jewellry, but I think that is my whole ascetiscism thing happening there: nuns don't wear jewellry beyond their wedding ring. I do like rings; it's just hard for me to find ones that fit my skinny little fingers, and the loverly thumb ring I was given in Tijuana I wore down to the copper and it turned my skin green.

You just reminded me...time to put on my pearls for a little bit because they need to be against skin periodically. They are cultured, but of very high quality, a gift from my grandmother when I was a teen because she felt I needed something classy, and she was right.

Badira likes to wear them sometimes, too.
