More Random Notes

1. Yes, I'm certifiable. I just signed up for the Rock 'N Roll Half Marathon down in Virginia Beach this August. Eeck. Let the training begin.

2. I've had this black Ken Cole jacket (vegan!) for a little over a year now, and I've always wondered why they made it without pockets. Well, turns out they did make it with pockets, but the pockets were sewn up for shipping. D'oh! So I have pockets now. I think I can thank one of my former paper route customers for this. He used to work at my tailor (before they closed *sniff*) and told me of shocking the hell out of men at church when they'd complain about not having real pockets on their sportscoats and he'd reach over and rip the things open. Nothing like having a man look at you in horror as you "rip" his favorite sportscoat. ;-) So, in Wilson's memory, I checked, pulled out a seam ripper (well, pocket knife), and opened 'em up. Go me.

3. I want more metal, but I think, with the exception of the tongue, my current need to get up to speed for the half marathon precludes that (bouncing around is not inducive to healing). Damn.

4. Why is it that in Sting's Desert Rose video, which is ostensively set in the middle east, only features two middle easterners (the singer and the bongo drum player)? All these skinny white people dancing in the desert. I bet the other singer is saying something like, "silly decadent westerners" but more poetically than that.

5. I miss my lioncub. Damn it. :-/

Half-marathon is a good distance - not the life-changing grueling eternity of a marathon, but a good long distance nonetheless. From now till august, with the training that you already do on a regular basis, should present no problem. As for the metal, I never interrupted my training when I had my pierces done. I never noticed any particular problems - but it was summer, so I could run topless so my shirt didn't rub the newly pierced nipple. Couldn't do that with the frenum pierce, but when I packed that up the right way, I didn't have any trouble there, either.

Then again, waiting for six months to do your next pierce will only make the experience more exciting for the waiting. Just ask virtualexile about that :)

How did you pack up the frenum? What I want to do is another scrotal piercing (top, not a guiche) to replace the last one (which was placed too high - ended up on the bottom of the shaft and I took it out).

well, it was more the penis that I packed up - so that it wouldn't flop around and rub the frenum against anything. A jockstrap or tight underwear did the trick.

The scrotum might pose more problems, though I would think that if you wore a tight jockstrap to keep the penis from moving over the area, you would be okay. I am not familiar with the healing patterns of scrotal pierces; I would have thought they would be easy to heal. Am I wrong?

The inner ear pieces (like the daith and the rook) don't bounce much.

Hmmm. A definite possibility...
