Ouch!

I did something that I've wanted to do for quite some time now.... I did something that many people didn't think I didn't have the balls to actually do. Yup! Got my tongue pierced today. That's right. I finally did it. When i got off of work @ Imo's around 3pm, i called Bobby and said that I still wanted to go today and do it. So... he gave me two numbers to call and he called two numbers in order to get prices and see what time each place closed. I called RetroActive and some other place. The reason I don't remember the name of the other place is because something was wrong with that phone number. As soon as I put in 972-0707, my heart began to beat a little faster. Suddenly someone answered, "RetroActive". I asked what time they closed and how much it was. "6:00pm. $40.00". After that Bobby called me back and our consensus was that we were going to Jamestown mall to RetroActive. Once we hung up, I put on some clothes, brushed my hair, gathered the rest of my "dough", slipped on my shoes, put on my coat, picked up my purse, pocketed my cell, and grabbed my keys. I headed over to Bobby's house, then we went to the mall from there. We finally made it to the shop and I convinced myself to be cool. I said to myself, "Be calm! Be calm!! Aight? Be cool, mama. Be cool." We walk in....I tell the piercer wat i want. he takes my ID. Makes a copy. Takes me to the back. When we made it to the back room, I got a little hyped. I prop myself up on the seat. I look at the all the tools he's gonna use. I looked at the needle. I looked at the tongs. I looked at the actually "thing" that's going to be entering in my tongue. All I could think was.... OuCh!! I mean, everything looked so big to me. But I didn't let it faze me. Then he started.... I closed my eyes...THEN I felt it. It felt like I bit my tongue really hard.... After that, I was in a daze for the rest of the day. Once Bobby and I left the store, he turns to me and says, "u okay?". I gave him a very simple "...yah." And we kept walking. All I could think about was getting somewhere and laying down. We stopped for gas, got some bottled water, aleve, and finally headed to the dorms. After that, I layed down and we watched movies the rest of the night..... What a day.
