So here are the new earrings. I typically wear studs, so even these feel really big to me. Kinda interesting how perception is affected by experience. For other people, these would be way too small. Something of note, though, is that they're actually kinda heavy. One of the biggest reasons that I always wear studs is that I'm paranoid about having not-intentionally-gauged holes in my ears when I'm old. Haven't you ever seen those women who wore heavy earrings for years and years and years so their piercings are now half an inch long instead of the teeny hole they were when they were first pierced? Yeah, I don't want to be one of those women. Sometimes I'm amazed at how much of what I do is motivated by not looking like the Crypt Keeper before my time.
