haha, i duno, ive not had one requiring rubber bands in over a year... but i got mine doe at about 3.2mm and have since stretched it up to 8mm, but use a small tunnel type jewellery with it, so 99% of people have no idea it's there at all.
just settled on the 8mm and got round to buying jewellery, so the rubber thing is still new, but i had been using just a normal metal one, covered in ptfe tape, for stretching it.0 -

I have no idea what is going on, haha. At least I know the rubber smell comes from rubber bands now! Then we get to millimetre talk, and stretching and tunnels!0 -
i got a piercing in the septum area, as you gathered, from the pic you linked...
when it first got pierced, it was just over 3mm in diameter... and i stretched it by adding plummers tape to my jewellery until it was 8mm...
this almost exactly what's in there at the mo... need the rubber to keep it in...
so how's your weekend been?

it's... good. ish.
bit of a farewell party for a friend last saturday, which was a good night, although with some... uncomfortable consequences im still trying to sort out in my head
:(
sunday was good, partner's old man actually reached 70 (not bad for someone who's been clinically dead a couple of times) so there shall be cake awaiting when i get home.
surf was nice yesterday, lovely shape to them and i caught a few nice ones that just totally re-invigorated my stoke for the sport.
aaaaaaaaand im back in work today and as i only work mon-wed, there's usually this huge build up of work for me by the time monday hits again, but i seem to be not only on top of it all today, but actually kinda bored cos there's nothing to do!
hence the long post i guess... sorry bout that...0 -

Ah Irecall your drunken posts!Crumble Froo wrote: »we clearly dont cross paths on here often.
Ah I see, that kind of thing, plagued me for years in college.aye, it was weird at the time, then really uncomfortable the next day, and i said it to a freind and her reaction kidna confirmed to me that it was really just.. arrrgh... yep. uncomfortable and line crossing and secrets and all sorts of ugh.
You like 12 hours ahead of us? Good luck getting the phone. I've lost my 8 year old beast dozens of times, but I guess nobody wasnts to steal it you see!but yes. cake. clsoer to 4.30, really... (which is awesome, i leave in 5mins, gotta skate hard to get to the bus lost and found before 4pm and try get back the phone that i bought less than a week ago >_<)
My sister is in donegal with my cousins atm, surfing her brains out no doubt. Most of my cousins are paddling as you say, one just stood up and started surfing lol, never having done it before. I just lent her a few hundred to buy a surfboard. So she will be bringing that home. She has tried to explain all this summer wetsuit and winter wetsuit and things to me, sounds quite warm anyway, hoodies and booties sound weird! Must try it anyway, swimming is good exercise.GO SURFING!!! it's just one of the greatest things in the world! plus, as a beginner, you'll be too busy paddling for the horizon that you don't get to feel teh cold. i'd recommend booties and a hoody though, with your wetsuit. not necessary, but will make time in the water more comfortable.
I used to body baord up in donegal for about 6years every summer, easter and halloween... man i loved it... in hindsight, twas almost inevitable i'd get into surfing.0 -

13 at the moment, and woo! i got it! huzzah! it's a pretty old model, i'd imagine one of the first to get a colour screen. cost me $60, which is about €25-30.My sister is in donegal with my cousins atm, surfing her brains out no doubt.
lucky thing! i miss donegal so much.
i know i, for one, spent most of my learning to surf time just trying to get out the back, and trying to paddle past the waves. much better at it now, but some of the bigger days can get the better of me.. .and my local beach with the prevailing winds, tends to have this wicked drift, so it's like trying to get past a river for about 8m of the paddle, so you'll tend to end up a half mile to the left of where you left from.Most of my cousins are paddling as you say, one just stood up and started surfing lol, never having done it before.
my bro did that, first lesson, within 20mins, he was standing on his board, by the end of the lesson he and his mate had caught a wave together, stood up and jumped onto the others' board.

haha, one thing i love about summer wetsuit here... there is none boardies and a tshirt and away we go. hoodies sound, look and feel weird... but when faced iwth the alternative of instant brainfreeze every time your head meets the water...

We have dangerous beaches around here, reknowned for drowning so i'll try a safer one. In fact I did one day body boarding and ther was all these little waves...then I turned my back and the biggest waves I've ever seen came out of nowhere on a sunny day.

Surfing would be so much more appealing in a warmer country, but then you would have sharks. i saw a picture of a guy surfing in australia and you could see a big ass shark in the wave under him, eek!haha, one thing i love about summer wetsuit here... there is none boardies and a tshirt and away we go. hoodies sound, look and feel weird... but when faced iwth the alternative of instant brainfreeze every time your head meets the water... my hoody.
Dog is called Buddy. We didn't call him anything really, and used to call him buddy jsut by chance, so it stuck. Have 5 kittens. Originally had 2 and one has just had kittens herslef at 6 months old so now we have 5.Crumble Froo wrote: »ooh, what are the kitty and doggy's names?

The mother is called tumtum(after the three little ninjas -_-), the cat the same age as her is called Samhain. The three young kittens are called Freddie, Tony and George. they are awesome, You could watch all the animals all day. It was funnyw atching the kittens learn to walk. They can jump so high but didn't know how to use their legs right so tehy were walking on 4 springs and bouncing all over the shop! Now they are flying all over the placce confusing the dog, confusing themselves, jumping over each other and general fluffly wrestling. Buddy doesn't know how all these cats are multiplying and seem to be able to climb walls now. He cocks his head and goes into professor mode when he sees them, you can see he is thinking hard! They can hump so high and to get down they try and walk along the wall vertically downwards, it's pretty cute...
Oh I better stop talking about them, or I will go on for ages.

yikes! though one of the worst things about surfing is the days where you could be waiting 10-15 mins for a wave, then you go for it, wipe out, get tumbled round in the washing machine, finally figure out which way up is, go to take a breath, only to see another wave breaking on top of you, repeat 2-6 times...Oooh, hope I'm like that, if skateboarding or rollerskating or iceskating has helped my balance. probably a lot of paddling to be done.
skateboards are just surfboards for concrete! if you're into skating, then check out the film Lords of Dogtown, excellent film and really important for the interactoin between surfing and skating.Surfing would be so much more appealing in a warmer country, but then you would have sharks. i saw a picture of a guy surfing in australia and you could see a big ass shark in the wave under him, eek!
dont really tend to get sharks here... not nearly to the extent of australia anyway... had a basking shark hanging around sumner for a while, but they're harmless. kaikoura can get some sharks, it's this huge feeding ground for all things ocean, whales included, but i've yet to surf there.Dog is called Buddy.

love samhain as a name. mate of mine has a wife, three kids, 7 cats, a kitten a rat and a frequent visitor dog. cats, im not mad on, particularly ebony, who flirts outrageously with visitors, getting them to think she wants to be petted, and then clawing you if you go near her. or just walking up to you and jabbing her claws in you. god i hate that cat. but anyway, they took in this wee kitten, pagan, and it was just the cutest thing watching her grow up. she got on so well with the dog as well, she was like her little puppy. the other cats had to sneak around so that pagan wouldnt chase them and get billie (the dog) to back her up.
or the time the rat bit one of the cats that was nosing around his cage, only for one of the cats to appear a week or so later with a dead (wild) rat in its mouth, and sit outside the rat cage, looking in, chewing on this dead rat. i swear, people dont give animals enough credit on the communication front.0 -

Most things Samhain does is to annoy the dog, and make him jealous. It's quite funny to watch. Poor Buddy, he could get angry and make short work of a cat but he is too nice and just backs away from the troublemaker! He gets sad and neeeds some rubs, putting his nose under your hand when you stop rubbing him to get more. The cat started copying him then! And when I go to rub Buddy suddenly the kitten is there purring and rubbling my leg. Heh. Sometimes that cat tries to hide and take a swing at buddy, evil cat!love samhain as a name. mate of mine has a wife, three kids, 7 cats, a kitten a rat and a frequent visitor dog. cats, im not mad on, particularly ebony, who flirts outrageously with visitors, getting them to think she wants to be petted, and then clawing you if you go near her. or just walking up to you and jabbing her claws in you. god i hate that cat. but anyway, they took in this wee kitten, pagan, and it was just the cutest thing watching her grow up. she got on so well with the dog as well, she was like her little puppy. the other cats had to sneak around so that pagan wouldnt chase them and get billie (the dog) to back her up.

The other kittens and buddy just stare at each other and then the kittens run around him jumping with the mother kitten watching on sternly all day long in case Buddy puts a paw out of place.
That rat thing is hilarious!0 -

That's a grand movie alright, although it seems that the link between modern skateboarding and surfing has disintegrated somewhat over the years. I've been skating for nearly 10 years but have never stepped foot on a surfboard. Probably should try it out sometimeStarting tomorrow I can't drink for two weeks
gonna get HAMMERED tonight 
ouch! Sorry for your loss. After those two weeks though, another fantastic excuse for more outrageous excesses. 0 -

the link is alive and kicking in many areas... particularly by the sea, where i live, there's a fair crew of surfer/skaters. was watching them on the ramp recently, had a few pro dudes from dunny up (dunedin is farking cold, only the hardcore surf there) who didnt surf, and were amazed at some of the **** my mates were pulling on the ramp.. 'only a surfer could pull that off'.
only last friday actually, was the big opening for a bowl in our local skatepark and dude, the surfers ripped that one up. twas funny watching styles and trying to figure out who surfed and who didnt.Tar.Aldarion wrote: »Not a fan, make drunken conversations? :P

Meds, six month course of antibiotics (which sucks anyway, I hate taking meds if I don't have to, but my skin has gone to crap over the past while so I just need to get it sorted once and for all, even though I'll probably end up with bloody swine flu or summat after that long on them :mad:) apparently it's okay to drink after the initial two weeks coz your body gets used to them0 -

Café paradiso is apparently amazing, the menu does look class, plus it's near the thirsty scholar (or whatever it's called these days) one of the best pubs in corkCork is grand! I haven't been to that place either though. I walk past it at least twice a week though, I should probably pop in some day.
When are you visiting cork? If I see you I'll give you some vegetables
I can has vegetables?0
