In case I haven't mentioned it:

I HAVENT BITTEN MY NAILS IN............ 22 DAYS!

oh, and the lip ring is gone. I took it out when I first got here (promised my mother I would), and overnight it sort of healed, and the next morning I realized it was healing too fast, so I sort of shoved the ring through the healed parts and this white gunk came out, and i sprayed hand sanitizer on it, but it got infected and had to take it out. I didn't wanna walk around here and work at the orphanage with an infected lip. But don't worry, it'll be re-peirced when I get to Sweden :')'  that's supposed to be a smile with a lipring haha
