OFIIDIM Is A Go
The last couple of weeks have been unpleasant. My dreams have been unpleasant, my companionship has been unpleasant, and…well…basically, I have been unpleasant. Now, with my birthday mere hours away, I have decided that a new state of affairs is in order. And because I simply adore Ms. NYC Rouge and her witty ways, I have decided to give this endeavor a catchy name:
Operation Fuck It, I'll Do It Myself
Ok, so it doesn't exactly have a catchy acronym (OFIIDIM), but it works. Take these examples:
No one wants to go on vacation with me? Fuck it, I'll do it myself.
No one wants to bring me flowers? Fuck it, I'll do it myself.
No one wants to go hiking on my birthday? Fuck it, I'll do it myself.
No one wants to bring me to climax? Fuck it, I'll do it…well, you get the general idea.
I kicked off OFIIDIM today with a trip to the parlor. The tattoo and piercing parlor, to be precise, where a very nice young man was happy to stick a gigantic needle in me.
I've wanted to get a nose piercing for years, and I decided that this was the day it was going to happen. To be fair, I suppose OFIIDIM would require that I stuck the needle in my own nose, but I'm retaking the reigns of my life, dear reader, not giving up my last vestiges of sanity.
Janie was wow-ed. My dad was appalled. My mom just sighed and asked how I was planning on cleaning it. In case you're wondering, a mild combination of antibiotic soap and water does the trick.

Well let me be the first to wish you a happy birthday!! I have been lurking for about a year. I found you by googleing Karlskrona, as I was a high school exchange student there in 1990.

Welcome to the Nose Ring Club, darling. Just a simple piece of advice regarding nose rings. When you wear sunglasses, remember to take them off by pulling UP not DOWN. I made this mistake. There was blood. I noticed that this piercing might knock against glasses sitting on the bridge of your nose.
ENJOY!
