Well this weekend is homecoming! Our high school homecoming already passed, but I do cheerleading for the town football team and I love it. This is a picture of my team and my second family. I spend at least 10 hours a week with these girls and I love them all so much. <3 We get to go out to get pizza for dinner on Friday night and then we get to teepee the football players' houses. Last year, I got to teepee 10 houses and it was so much fun. The actual homecoming game is on Saturday night and in that game we give our parents roses and the cheerleaders receive roses from the football players. It's a cute and fun thing to do and I'm really excited. In a couple of weeks, we have our first competition in the morning and our second competition that night. We don't get to go to nationals this year and I'm pretty bummed about that but we do get to go to state (if we qualify by winning first place at one of our competitions) which should be fun. So yeah, these girls and this team are pretty much my life. Secondly, I need to go on a rant. Tattoos and piercings are the subject of this one. I think they look really cool. I definitely want to get a couple more piercings and I definitely want a couple tattoos. I'd like to get "All in all is all we are" across the top of my neck. It's a quote from the Nirvana song All Apologies. I also want a double piercing. But people are taking these things WAY too far. If any of you have never seen these, they are called surface piercings. (see second picture) While these are on the wrists, you can get them anywhere including neck, back, stomach, wrists, legs and sometimes even eyelids. This is disgusting. There is a fine line between socially acceptable and just flat out ridiculous and this is flat out ridiculous. What compels someone to wake up and pierce their wrists? I am usually accepting of things like this but I am not okay with surface piercings. That is all.

I agree; I think they look closer to the inside of elbows.

Oh my gosh I totally agree with you. I want my double sooo bad and I think I'm gonna get it soon. But surface piercings are so gross! How do people even look in the mirror and find that attractive?! Also, I really want a tatoo. But nothing too big, just like something small on my ankle or wrist but my mom said after I'm out of college!!!! I can't wait that long!!

You can wait that long! Remember, they are permanent (and painful). I have seen lots of people with tattoos that they regret getting or (worse) are misspelled!!!
