Different?

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately, finals and roommate drama.

So Sometimes I forget that I'm different. I was reminded last night. I was hanging out with the best friend and his parents. I had my hair pulled back so my ears were showing. I had all of my piercing in. I've had my ears multiply pierced since I was 13. I got my latest hole when I was 16, I am now 20. I forget that I have them. Well best friends parents were rather shocked that I have five holes in my ears. For the rest of the night they kept joking how I had all my booty in my ears. At least it could be worse, cause I have a rather large posterior so they could have been making jokes about that.

I forget that the average is two holes. I forget that I'm edgy. I don't see myself as "different". Specially with my blue and purple tips. I honestly don't see myself that way. I don't see myself as a girl with the dragon tattoo kind of outcast. Maybe it is because I believe your fashion sense and morals have nothing to do with adulthood and responsibility. But the real change I feel that I have made is that I don't feel persecuted. I understand their confusion and their jokes. And it didn't hurt. I learned something about myself. That I am different, and there are lots of people in this world that want to understand those differences, but are confused how to go about it.
