Too good to be true

Just when things were finally stabilizing, they suck again.
I don't want to dwell on the negative so much right now, so I will update on what Rot and I have been up to these last couple of weeks.

Also, tired of how ugly the word "friend" has become, I came up w/ another word to describe those who are mine: Wufwooz.

Yes, I don't have friends, I have wufwooz.

Deal with it 8)
 

A couple weeks ago, a miracle happened and I went out 3 nights in a row. Two of which featured Rotny.

Night #1 - Das Bunker. Two of my wufwooz have gotten into the habit of sneaking up on me last minute and saying they're coming to steal me away for a night out. And so they did. And so I went to Das Bunker. Ponies, Kyrie, Jess, and myself. I can't say no to them. And they know it. So they take advantage of me!! lol We also went to veggie grill beforehand. Yummayz.
Gentleman Junkie played that night. I had no idea, but I really liked them. Their one song was like... exactly my favorite composition of music. My knees go weak only for songs that are strictly industrial, goth rock, darwave hybrid......... with Egyptian accents. or like... weird Moroccan ... thingies.

and one of their songs was exactly that and I was like OMFG. I forget what the name is. While everyone was in the dance room, I sat on the side to watch. I wanted to dance, but because I had no where to put my bag, and it was ripped, I didn't wanna flail like an over protective idiot on the dance floor. Elo, this really nice girl we all know wasn't having it and grabbed my bag, handed it to Ponies, and dragged me out to the dance floor. I didn't dance. So she grabbed my hand and led me to the downstairs dance room. Wasn't dancing there either. So she took me by the hand again and took me to the ebm room and "k how about here?!" So I danced. lol. She gave me a whole tour of the venue just so I could dance with her. Aww :) I also spoke the John, the owner, about a few things between him, Rot, and me. He said he'd come see Rot at his DJ gig Sunday night. Hehehe, fun night.

Night #2 - Bar Sinister
our wufwooz, Adam and Jon were playing that night. So Rot and I went to support and say hi because we haven't seen people in forever.
All was fine and dandy that night. Then I noticed out of the corner of my eye, our old roommate's girlfriend was at the bar and kept looking over at us. So I told Rot HEY GUESS WHO'S HERE. And he was like GREAT. Our old roommate's been texting Rot apologizing and wanted to start talking again. Rot pretty much told him no, lets just keep it to texts. lol.
So then out of no where we see our old roommate and he comes to us, puts his hand on my shoulder and is all HAY GUISE WHATS UP :D HOW'S IT GOING!? but not before his girlfriend approached us awkwardly and waved at me. I remembered when I did the same thing to someone, who taught me a great lesson in making the 'waver' feel extremely uncomfortable and unwanted. Flash a quick, half assed grin at them and look in another direction, but do not move your body or head at all. Just your glance. Speaks numbers. And I did exactly that. Worked like a charm! :D
Meanwhile I could feel my salivary glands producing acid laced with poison a sweet neon green color begging to be spit on his face, followed by a hiss, and finally my saying DON'T EVER FUCKING TOUCH ME AGAIN. but I just glared at him the whole time and said nothing. Rot was very short with him too. Eventually he invited us to go back stage with him, and Rot sighed an agreement, looked at me and tried to pull me to go with him. I demanded I be left where I was. Our old roommate though Red Bull would make me forget everything.
Rot wasn't very long. Came back and looked at me, shrugged, and kinda rolled his eyes. Enough said. And then we engaged in silliness with wufwooz and other fun peoples we know until we had to leave. I felt bad for Josh because he had no idea what was happening and it was all just kinda like bleh. We had a good time though ^-^

Rot always looks so scary. Honestly, I hate those black contacts he wears lol.
BUT HE ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE MY PEEMPURS ^___^v

 

Night #3 - Roberto's Club
Rot's DJ gig at the venue where Infernal is held. Was a pretty good turn out. It was done by the same promoter that has us go on that Mexican tour with Sandy (RubberNecro). He loves Rot, lol. He's always trying to get him to DJ every chance he can, but because of Rot's work, it's difficult. Alien Vampires was playing that night. When he played his set, he started it out ok, and then started playing shit that no one could dance to. It was hilarious. I think the only time he hasn't done that was in Las Vegas. To show my support, when he played a danceable song, I went out and got down. But then he played more power noise lol. Asshole. hahaha <3
At one point, I was trying to find the trash but for the life of me, I just couldn't. So I went backstage and looked around for one to toss out what I wiped a spilled drink with, and then I saw the frontman for Alien Vampires. I tried to sneak past him and he saw me, so I said "uh... hi. do you know where the trash is?" he just looked at me blankly, looked around the room, and then said "nah." so I said "ok thanks!" and ran out. Very awkward. lol.
We met the other DJ guy who was really cool. He's mexican, so it was a little challenging to understand him because his selection of words was limited, but the guy was super chill. He was all metal'd up. While AV was playing, Rot, him, and myself all went outside and just mingled. And then I had to pee. And then we left. And then we were like omg... too much clubbing. And went home, snuggled and passed out.

What a busy weekend that was! I couldn't imagine doing that every day. No wonder Rot hates going out lol. It's a lot of work =\

LA is still it's crappy self. This shit is more common than AIDs in West Hollywood.



 Above is the remake of Bakalakadaka Street Resident from several years ago:




Oh and I think I got laid off. It's cool, I like feeling stressed and not knowing whether or not I have a job. It's just my life. It's all good.

You want me to pierce you?

I've had a couple people ask me about getting pierced and I keep putting it off like a jackass, even though I really wanna do it, lol. Hopefully this will organize and clarify what steps to take before hand. ;)  Can never be too safe!

T H I N G S    T O    K N O W 

Cynthia piercing? Uh, wut?  -- I apprenticed under a piercer named Mike Hayes at Checkered Past in New Cumberland, PA. He was an APP member for several years and one of the best piercers in the area. I learned a lot of piercing techniques, proper sanitation procedures, and the proper aftercare for any piercing taught by the Association of Professional Piercers.

I have limits!  -- Although I'd love to be the bestest piercer ever, there are some piercings that are too advanced for me. I will openly admit to it, and rather have you see someone who's mastered them if I feel that there is no fucking way that I could do it. However, understanding this, you are more than welcome to 'guinea pig' yourself in agreement that BITCH, DIS MAH FIRST ATTEMPT HOKAY? That's how piercers learn, anyway! Hah

Have specific jewelry in mind? -- I will explain my recommendations for measurements to start with for new piercings. It matters a lot more than most people realize! Anything too heavy can sag the canal exits for unattractive, uneven healing. Anything too thin can tear tissue at the slightest tug. It's always best to go light and simple until the healing stages are well in, and your body isn't pissed at you anymore ;)

Piercings I will do -- I currently can only do 16g, 14g, 12g

       + Recommended gauges , measurements , & type of jewelry:

Eyebrow                     14g | 16g   5/16 | 3/8 (Depending On Anatomy)  curved bb or captive bead ring

Monroe                       14g | 16g      5/16                           "stud"

Labret                         14g | 16g       3/8                            "stud" | cbr

Snake bites                 14g | 16g       3/8                            "stud" | cbr

Medusa                       14g | 16g     5/16                            "stud" | cbr 

Tongue                         12g           3/4 | 7/8 (DOA)                 bb

Cheeks                       12g | 14g       3/4                                 bb

Navel                           14g             3/8                                  cbb

I can do nostril piercings, however I don't have a specific tool that I need in order to perform them. Until I do, I can't do them. Sorry!

I only properly learned how to do ONE genital piercing which is the FEMALE Clitoral Hood. I will NOT do any others!!!

                                  14 | 12        3/8                                  cbb | cbr

Anything that isn't listed there, I've not done. Those are the piercings we got most often, except for the cheek piercings. But that was a one time thing that I happened to be there for. If you insist I do a piercing not listed here, I will look at you and smile shyly, and remind you that I've not done it before. If you want to take that risk of embarrassment (you masochist, you), then be my guest!

cbb - Curved Barbell

cbr -  Captive Bead Ring

bb - Barbell

 

"stud" / Labret Post

horseshoe / Circular Barbell 

Alcohol is a blood thinner!!! --- so if you drank some before hand, you will bleed like an asshole all up on my gloves and shit. Please don't. :)

Also, don't faint on my floor motherfuckers. Just kidding. You can faint. Those are fun :P You lose all color to your face, it's awesome. Like, you literally look like a corpse. Photo opp! :D

Where for to get Jewelry? -- I always liked www.steelnavel.com just because they're not god awfully expensive, and you can custom order all your jewelry. Which is why I added the above chart to help with selections. Or if you want to see exactly what you want to get, I recommend going anywhere that sells Industrial Strength body jewelry. I know there's a place in LA that sells it. They're kind of nauseating, but I mean... it's LA, so... it's going to be.

I can special order standard jewelry -- if you are uncomfortable choosing pieces yourself. This will be plain, standard, stainless steel jewelry that I will have to charge for shipping and cost (I'm broke, mfkrs). A receipt will be provided for you if you want one.


Piercings O N L Y -- I currently do not have the tools to perform gauging, unfortunately. It's a little bit more complicated than it seems, and is not as quick as doing a piercing. Sorry guise! :(

    One last thing!

Why? -- E x ternally threaded jewelry will tear you as it's being installed, causing more injury, more discomfort, and unnecessary irritation to the new wound that your body will already be raging at you over for the next couple of months. Even with a healed piercing, the threads on this jewelry can still tear tissue on it's way out, and can drag in foreign bacteria into your body in the process! WHAT AN ASSHOLE.


I n ternally threaded jewelry isn't an asshole at all. The installation is always smooth and easy. The threads never touch your body, and is just all around better for your new piercing when you want to switch it up a little at the right time.

*note: That cbr doesn't really belong in the Internally Threaded image, but it's an option of what you can get. 

If you have any questions for me, feel free to send me a message or comment or whatever. I'll answer your questions to the best of my knowledge... of which I'm pretty cocky about.
