I was watching one of those after school specials when I got the idea to pierce my nose. I did it with a starter earring and some ice. It hurt but the worst was that I pinched a nerve and it made my left eyeball twitch when it was cold out for years. Eventually the piercing got infected because my Mom wouldn't let me wear it around her and so I'd take it out at home and wear it at school. This was in 1990 before piercing became so trendy. A few months later I dyed my hair pink and shaved the back of my head from ear to ear so that I could wear a pony tail and everyone could see how cool I was or I could hide it when I was around the parents. The pink dye was nixed fast- I bleached it out but I had the skater/Red Hot Chili Peppers hairdo for a while.
I thought I was so punk rock and cool.
