Resolve

Last year my New Year's Resolution was: Drink More. Specifically, Drink More Booze. That worked out pretty well, and I was able to stick to it with minimal difficulty.



This year, I resolve to Sparkle More. I have so many necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that never even see the light of day, much less get worn regularly. So for 2009, I resolve to Wear Jewelry More Often. Every day except for the occasional schlubby weekend: a necklace, earrings, and (if not too impractical) a bracelet.

Have you considered an additional piercing? Having some hidden sparkle might enhance your inner sparkle.

Genital piercings kind of gross me out, and I think nipples with rings look like pierced pig snouts. (edit: Fine on other people, just not on me, thanks)

I have a tongue stud, but I got that more for utilitarian than decorative purposes. I'm not much on hidden pretties like fancy underwear. Most of my underwear is pretty damn boring, really, and that's the way I like it. Lace makes me itch.

No, I want my sparkle where people can see it! I'm not much of an internal person when it comes down to it.

As far as genital piercings go, I think it should depend on the genitals. Some folks just shouldn't, you know? I'd never do it, mostly because what I do to my body now has to work for me when I'm old, and if I got a prince Albert or something, it might not work out so great when I'm seventy. And there's another thing. I've encountered hidden piercings before and they just seem to get in the way of the bidniss at hand, so to speak.

Never worn fancy underwear myself. By all rights they shouldn't stay on long anyway. I mean, in a perfect world.

I think if you don't wear underwear, always wear loose clothing, and bathe at least once a day, genital piercings can be fine. I fit into none of those categories.

If you're looking for a place to sparkle, FBM is playing at Korruption a week from tonight. I'll post about it.

Maybe you should tell me what you don't like, then I'll tell you it's not that.

I don't like modern "country" music. I can handle about anything else. My collection spans everything from Abba to ZZ Top.

THAT'S a relief. Whew. I don't have to lie or anything.

We're like a cross between Iron Maiden and the Misfits, Music like Maiden, Lyrics like Misfits. If we don't rock you, clearly you don't want to be rocked. lol.

Those are damn good resolutions. And a very pretty photo.

This is a great resolution. I got some nice pieces for Christmas I am trying to remember to wear. Last night I remember thinking, Damn, forgot my earrings.

Yeah, I'm not doing great so far. I even forgot to put in my damn nose ring after I washed my face this morning. Chalk it up to still being a leetle hung over.

oooh! Me too!

Those are, I think, the bestest New Year's Resolutions EVER. You can totally expect to be cited for inspiration in an upcoming resolution-type post. Please forgive the imitation. :)

Yay! No forgiveness needed. Hop on the Fun Resolutions Bus with me, yes please!

I applaud this resolution- simple, to the point, w/ a hint of devilishness...nicely played

You forgot: Enjoyable and Likely To Happen Most Of The Time. Crucial elements of a resolution, IMO.
