I needed that like I needed....

a hole in my navel. Which I did.

Lovely day so far. This morning I exchanged cars with bobamster (because hers actually fits a longboard inside and I didn't want to fuss with racks) and headed to La Jolla shores. The waves were pretty nice, though there was some funky cross-current filling in the sets in odd ways. Kept shifting south over time. Not unmanageable though, and I got in two good hours of surfing.

After devouring lunch and showering, I went to Inr Nrg to have my navel pierced. I have to say, it was one of the coolest experiences I've had. Nick, who did my piercing, was a typical young altnera-rocker with lots of body mods but he was really into the symbolism and energy of mods. He thought it was pretty cool that I was having my navel, which is a symbol of new beginnings, pierced on my birthday. He explained everything to me and had me use some yogic breathing to center myself before and during the piercing. It was a very Zen experience and I am quite pleased. :)

I'm going to get a tiny nap so I'm perky and energetic for Wit's End later.

So far, 35 is okay. :)

Nick's a really cool guy. He did my nipple several years ago. And he just did leeshers's navel piercing a few months back.

Weird, the two of you have the same birthday. Happy birthday!

He's very cool. A friend of mine referred me to Inr Nrg and I'm glad she did. It was a really cool experience.

Weird, the two of you have the same birthday. Happy birthday!

Who, me and leeshers? Cool. And thanks. :)

Happy birthday, dude. Nothing like self-mutiliation to celebrate the day of your birth :)

It beats killing brain cells with alcohol. That's sooo been done. ;)

Well, now you've gone and done it. No burial in a strict orthodox Jewish cemetary for you, little missy. Okay, maybe that's not the only reason.

Oooh yeah, there's a whole laundry list of things...

He may be good with symbolism, but somebody should really introduce him to vowels.

Oh, you English types with your strict adherence to the rules of your language.

Zen? No screaming in abstract pain? Pfft. You're no fun.

I don't know who you've been talking to, because I'm plenty good fun.
