because you should know

I have something in common with Tori Spelling: neither of us has pierced ears, and we are both obsessed with earrings.  But it ends there.  Imagine!  She's too afraid to get her's pierced. My earlobes are asymmetrical; the outgoing one is out in front and the shy one hangs back a little.  (Sidebar:  And I have that odd recessive earlobe trait:  the lobes are connected to my face!  I repeat: the lobes are connected!  It's the only recessive trait I have, from what I remember from my high school Anatomy & Physiology class.  I was an odd duck in that class; I have no idea why I ever took it.  All my friends that I'm still in touch with from that class are nurses.  I swear.  Like, six girls - okay, three.  Me + the medical profession = permanent queasiness.  How do they do it?  I can hardly deal with my own blood and vomit on the rare occasion either makes an appearance.  Maybe it's for the fashion...they totally get to wear white Birkies to work, which I won't deny: I do like.)

There was something else I wanted to write about...it was one of those real deep thoughts.  Completely tabled at the moment.

Someone told me last month that I have small earlobes. It's why my ears can't hold up ear pins. (http://tinyurl.com/yftxgve)

Is the asymmetry why yours aren't pierced?

oohh, never seen an ear pin before...wait...have i?

yes: i blame it on the asymmetry (and the part where the holes could close has always left me a little gaggy).
