I'm behind with emails, comment moderating (if you've never commented before, then I have to approve your comment before it will be shown), Private Messages (forums), commenting back (I currently have 33 comments to return) and all other stuff like that.
This *having a life* thing is not so good for my online stuff. 
I hope everyone had a totally awesome New Year's Eve and felt absolutely awful on New Year's Day (due to having a hangover: a sure sign that the night before was good!). 
I spent mine watching 13 episodes of Grey's Anatomy and downing shots of Vodka, heh.
I had four cartilage piercings done today; two in each ear. My ears feel really heavy, hot, swollen and painful but I'm hoping it'll pass soon. Once the swelling and bruising has gone down, I'll have my sister take a photo.
I'm going to return comments tomorrow (I mean it); I'm not in tonight.

Look:
That is my left ear. See the big purple bruise? You thought I was joking when I said they were bruised, didn't you?
They didn't actually look that bad until I got up; the bruise formed overnight.
Even though they're bruised and swollen (and one of the earrings wants to sit against my earlobe and look wonky), they still look pretty cool, don't they? They'll look even cooler once they've stopped turning purple, heh.
I'm getting used to them now; they don't feel hot and heavy any more and the pain's now more of a dull ache (which is to be expected, I guess) rather than a sharp/stabbing pain.
Now I just have to wait two to four months for them to heal. Great.
