I just wanted to share what has been happening lately.
I ended up dropping biochem because the labs where too anxiety producing. I felt really bad about it. To make myself feel better, I got another hamster. I ended up getting another petstore hamster because none of my replies to the hamster ads got any replies. My new hamster is nameless right now and I don't even know gender yet. My hamster is afraid of me and won't let me pick him/her up. I don't want to stress him/her out too much so I leave it alone. I try offering food to it, but it still doesn't trust me enough. I hope it's OK. It keeps making these wheezing or sneezing noises. I wonder if the regular Carefresh bedding is too dusty and maybe hamster is allergic?
Also, another strange thing...I've developed a fascination with earlobe stretching. It's strange because I don't seem like the type of person to want to modify my body. Perhaps that's just me stereotyping the type of people who get tattoos and other body mods. I still would never get a tattoo, but right now I would love to slowly and painlessly stretch my gunned earlobe piercings to about 10 gauge or 2.4mm. I'm stopping small because I don't want huge holes in my ears. Some people have really big holes, like an inch or bigger. I would never go that big. I'm stopping small because I don't want to affect my future career choices and also I just don't like huge holes.
Right now I think my holes are at 18 gauge, or at 1mm diameter (basically normal sized holes). I just ordered a 16 gauge (1.2 mm) taper to stretch my ears and a pair of 16 gauge straight titanium pink barbells.
I'm thinking maybe one day, after I retire, I might want to go a little bigger than 10 gauge. I wouldn't want to go too big though, I don't like the look of distorted earlobes.
I told my pdoc about my fascination and I think she thinks it's weird. She didn't say anything, but that's what I got from her. I hope I'm just imagining that.
Anyways, do you think it's weird?
