I had a job as a body piercer. A client wanted me to pierce her top and bottom lips together with a row of industrial-strength staples, essentially sealing her mouth shut. I might add that she wanted me to do this at a dinner party hosted by my parents. The other catch was that she didn't trust me to do it on her until I'd done it on someone else. The only person that I could think of who was crazy enough to do something like that was me.
So, while my parents made dinner in the next room, I sat with the piercing gun and put rings through my lips. I was interrupted only once, halfway through the procedure, but I was still able to drawl out of the corner of my mouth.
The first ring was excruciatingly painful and brought tears to my eyes. Every ring after that got slightly easier, until the last one, which I barely felt at all.
In waking news:
Toronto people, please come to the Wobbly film night. It will be fun. And if it isn't, there will be booze there.
EDIT: Are any of you good at making animated icons from videos? If so, anyone who makes me an icon of either the panda going down the slide and crashing into the other panda, or the panda sticking its nose directly into the camera gets to be my new hero.
