the dramatic conclusion...

I knew you'd be back. Ha.

Well, the truth about the nose piercing thing is this:

I do really want one but know I'd regret it, so I keep talking myself out of it, knowing that in a week or two, my obsession will pass and I'll be back to fantasizing over having long, healthy hair and longer legs.

No worries, dad, I "din't," and my nose is just the same as it was the last time you saw me.

Love you all.
