i have a very sore septum but i am still very satisfied.

2008-07-25T21:59:00.000-07:00

Soo, today I got my septum pierced. I can safely say I am experiencing some sharp pain in between my nostrils, but I am quite psyched about my new metal. Now, I've got my lip pierced twice [snakebites, yay!], my monroe [beauty mark thingy], nostril [twice in my left one], a scaffold industrial [bar at the top of my left ear], and my earlobe piercings are stretched to 1/2". So I am no stranger to body piercing. But this is a piercing I've been itching to get for months, maybe over a year now. So I am definitely a happy camper.
It just occured to me that I never did find out formally what gauge the piercing actually IS, but I'm thinking it's a 14g. That's pretty commonplace for these piercings [the smaller they are, the more chance of a 'cheese cutter' effect if it's pulled on. no thanks.], so I am gonna stick with that. 12g seems a little big, 16g pretty small. Not to mention, it looks 14g. So we'll say it's a 14g. And upon looking at it for the billionty-millionth time, I am certian.
Anyway, my ocd-esque desire for things to be evened out is very satisfied. My face is just so much more symmetrical. I have something going on in the center, and it makes me just... sort of relieved. I'm pretty sure a TON of people are going to say I look like a bull, but that's okay. After all, I am a taurus. So my feelings aren't hurt. I'm just acting like my astrological symbol ;].
I just love my piercer more and more every time I go to get a piercing [which is pretty frequent]. He's professional yet friendly, and he does his work quickly. No "ready? one, two, three... and here's the needle! here it gooooooes, in your skin. feel it?" shit. It makes me revel in the agony that much more. My piercer [who, by the way, is Larry Hudson. Crystal Clear Tatoo in Warner Robins, I RECCOMEND IT TO EVERYONE!] just kind of does the deed quickly and as close to painlessly as possible. So that's pretty awesome.
Not to cut my blog all abrupt and shit, but my fiancee's watching How High and I just can't concentrate. Stoner comedys are my weakness, I guess. Maybe that's because I'm a stoner. Fuck it, though. I gotta go watch this.

someone buy me a nintendo ds promptly.

2008-07-21T23:58:00.000-07:00

Not seriously, but I really am ACHING for a goddamn Nintendo DS. My future sister-in-law recently got one, and I've been watching her play Super Mario Bros. with intense envy. It was then that I decided I really truly wanted a DS. Now, a little background information... I have a Gameboy Advanced, and a Gameboy Color [which I play more frequently; don't ask why]. I love playing them; I'm sort of addicted to Pokemon Silver and Tetris.

However, the fact that their screens aren't luminous kind of makes me want to die. If it's tilted the wrong way or it's slightly dark I am virtually fucked and I can't see well enough to do anything and it just ends up pissing me off and Nichole is done playing Nintendo for a while.

Now, I do have the little attachment for my GBA which magnifies the screen and shines a little light onto it. But it's horribly dorky-looking and not very convenient. I have to carry it around in my purse along with my GBA, hunt both seperately down [my purse is a fucking mess, that task is NOT easy!] I think it's just time for an upgrade. And since the DS is like, $115 at Target with Jeremy's 10% discount [whut whut, marrying an employee. I got BENEFITS!]... I just don't see why not.

So anyway, I started looking up a list of games for the DS. HOLY ASSBALLS. There are like a million games on it, and I can play all my old GBA games, too! Which is thoroughly awesome with a capital AWESOME. I get nerdy little butterflies just thinking about playing the DS, with it's little stylus and two screens [hence the DS]. It just makes me smile. I'm not even epically bummed out that I don't own one yet, because the thought of 'maybe for Christmas if Jeremy REALLY loves me [check out that ultimatum, ya'll!]' just makes me giddy in seventeen different ways.

Aside from my faggy joy about a little handheld gaming system, I just played Tiger Woods PGA Golf Tournament 2008... and hey, shit's fun. Jeremy and I got kind of overly into the golfing portion of Wii sports, so we finally rented a 'real' golf game from BlockBuster. It was thoroughly enjoyable, although I am quite probably the worst putter ever. When I'm ten feet away from the fucking hole and I should just tap it, I [and the wiimote, I swear it's not JUST me!] freak out and have a pseudo-seizure and end up hitting the ball at like ten million percent power, straight into the rough or the bunker. And then I cuss at also ten million percent power and then... well then it's time for Nichole to take a break from pretend golf. It's just a pretend version of a GAME, but somehow it still makes me one angry bitch.

And while I'm on this sweet-ass roll about video games, I'm gonna mention that I cannot stop fantasizing about Guitar Hero 4, which I am ludicrously excited about. Seriously, I am just counting the fucking days. I am FAR too excited about this game. I am not even going to have much time to play it; I'm gonna be caught up in finishing my senior year [yeah, right. mhm.], but I am still stupidly psyched. I am getting pumped just thinking about this shit.

I am not as excited about Rock Band 2, which in my opinion is just scrambling to make its debut before GH4 and is going to end up making a sequel to their first game with little improvements or innovations... whereas every fucking time Guitar Hero puts out a new game, they steroid-pump their old game and make it a superbeast of badassery. They manage to completely revamp their games, improve their problems, expand upon their old game, implement groundbreaking new features, et cetera, et cetera, I cream in my pants about Guitar Hero, blabbity blah.

But I saw the setlist finally, and I have to say... wow. If I had a penis, it would've gotten hard when I read it. I'll go ahead and repost this badboy, so my readers [what readers? awww.] can check it out, if ya'll haven't already.

I admit, some choices are shitty. But there are just so many that make me get butterflies. Mm.

HOWEVER, I do realize that the Guitar Hero 4 setlist will probably be equal to or greater than in badassery, so I am not completely swayed. I am still definitely a Guitar Hero girl at heart and Rock Band is quite a fun game, but if I had to choose [and if the games are not compatible with eachothers equipment, or rather the rock band game with the guitar hero equipment, I will have to], I choose Guitar Hero. It has not broken on me or my friends [Rock Band has!], every note ACTUALLY REGISTERS on the god damn Guitar Hero guitar, and fnally, well... I just like the way it feels better.

And if that makes me an opinionated little shit, I already knew that, so ha.

Time to go do something else, ya'll! Come back now, ya hear?

No, but seriously.

Peace&ove,

NichiDani.

first post. and silva vs. irvin

2008-07-19T21:08:00.000-07:00

Alright, I just made this blog. But I'm not gonna jump into a whole long story about who I am and what I stand for and where I was born and what I like and blah blah who gives a fuck. I'm just gonna jump right into some good ol' bloggery.

I just got done watching the Silva vs. Irvin fight live on SPIKE TV. To put it in my own words... it was fucking brutal.

Anderson Silva is an intimidating

Brazilian motherfucker.

James Irvin has a tattoo under his right

man boobie that makes me smile.

But okay. So like, not even a minute into the round, James Irvin goes to land a high kick into Anderson Silva. Silva said "Nah man, fuck that" [In Brazilian. No, not really. Just kidding. But I digress...] and grabbed Irvin's leg, pulled it out from under him, jumped on top of him, and started landing all these sweet-ass punches straight into his fucking dome. It was badass. KO at like 1:01. It made me happy.

So I thought that was about it for UFC tonight, I was even suggesting flipping the channel. Cause mostly fights after the main event are just not very exciting to me. Hey, sometimes fights before the main event are not exciting to me. And even the main events suck sometimes. But it's mainly the post-main-events that make me nod off.

Tonight, that was not so. Holy shit. Brody Farber vs. Rory Markham. I'm not a huge MMA buff or anything, so this may not mean much, but I've never heard of either of these guys. But I'll definitely remember Markham from now on. He knocked Farber the fuck out. Firstly, I was just kind of uninterested. Cracking jokes about how Farber looks like a cancer patient and Markham looks like an underwear model, so on and so forth. Then the fight started and I shut the fuck up [aside from some oohing and ahhing, cause I felt the need to.]

They were both incredibly agressive. Not in a 'these two fighters obviously have a beef' sort of way, in a 'wow, these are two energetic and exciting fighters.' Not to mention, they both have great records. But wow. Farber got Markham a little beat down, and he thought he had him. So, he let his guard down an eensy bit for like a nanosecond. And in that nanosecond, Markham administered this totally bad-a headkick and Farber stiffened up like a god-damn 2x4 and fell to the ground in barely over a minute and a half. W-o-w. KO in the first round, yes yes ya'll.

Aside from the fully awesome UFC event tonight, I don't have much going on. I went shopping for some clothes and shit, and then drew tattoo flash until Jeremy [my fiancee, I should prolly mention that] came over. Then we watched the aforementioned UFC and after that I was assaulted [maybe I'm being melodramatic...] by a beetle in bed and had to crush it in my hand with a little wad of toilet paper. Pretty brutal, if you ask me.

I guess that's it. I am a failure at blogging. Aw.
