Generation Gap?
I recently experienced voluminous amounts of pain that followed with several hours of suffering. (warning, slight amounts of exaggerating told in this post) It was the second time I had encountered this degree of pain however, it lasted much longer then expected. While at work a couple of Fridays ago, I unintentionally ripped out a piercing while applying make-up. I was in a bit of a rush to just freshen up my face before going into a meeting when I wasn’t paying attention and ripped out my nose ring. At first the pain did not hit me. I was more or less dissatisfied with what just took place to realize that my nose was bleeding and pain was sheering.
When I finally realized what I had accomplished I began to feel the sharp pain in my nose and throbbing sensation in my stomach from the shock. I know this might sound a bit exaggerated but if you have never experienced ripping out a piercing then it would be best to just take my word for it.
I attempted to insert the nose screw back through the tiny hole for over two hours. Mind you, resting in between and disinfecting the area after messing with it. (Nose screws are virtually impossible to screw back in unless you have taken a course on it!) With today’s technology, I decided to consult youtube for the expert demonstrations. Thus, what got me wondering if this was a generation gap? Why am I not able to get the screw back in my nose being that I am almost 30 years of age and these emo/hipster kids are able to accomplish this with voracious behavior? See for yourself how purely easy they make it seem…
Needless to say, I ended up back in my piercer’s chair that afternoon to have her insert the nose screw. To much of my surprise it took her about 20 minutes of struggling to get it back in and even had to manupulate the jelwery a bit to fit. At last, its safe and sound back where it belongs and I’m more careful these days. But still can’t help feeling a bit old or just nose screw retarded…heh.
So is “nose screw retarded” a whole level?
i.e. Man, that was totally nose screw retarded!
More like ‘nose screw handicapable’ maybe?
I think you both might be on to something here…Maybe I should consult the piercing society manual and see what I can find…mmmm, research just as good as brains!
