(it is an erotic anime, but it's not hentai)

Synopsis:

Since ancient times there has been a race of flesh eating monsters called Shokujinki (食人鬼^?, lit. "Man-Eating Ogres"). They can assume human form or otherwise live in the shadows while feeding on humans. The Kifūken (鬼封剣^?, lit. "Ogre-Sealing Sword") martial arts style school was created to hunt down those creatures and its teachings have been passed down through the generations to the Momota family. The story revolves around the forbidden romance between Toshihiko, the latest heir of the Kifūken school and Yuka, a young woman who is also a Shokujinki.

[Body Mods] Tongue [day 4] RIP Tongue Piercing

After some not so serious debate (and feeling sick to my stomach) for the past 2 days I decided to get the piercing removed. No, I wasn't in much pain other that a few sharp pulses while apparently laying my tongue wrong while I slept. No, I didn't take it out 'cause my parents freaked or anything like that (they in fact have no say in the issue because I'm an Adult lol). No I didn't take it out only because it was annoying.

I took it out because the metal was making me sick to my stomach and having a tongue piercing will honestly make it hard for me to get a job any where other than a call center (and I do not want to work at another call center). Honestly, I just did not like it.

I'd rather have my lip piercing back. Or to try eyebrow.

[Body Mods] Tongue [day 3]

[Images- 1 2 3]

Day 3 loves me (well 5am). I was able to eat a Jenny Craig meal, Wheat Thins, some rice cracker snack mix, a brownie and some bread with little to no pain. The tongue is still swollen and well there's crater on the top part of my tongue and the bottom well has some white skin hanging a bit off (this is the tongues version of a scab). That's about all that's new.

Oh, and most of day 2 the roof of my mouth was dry =/

[Body Mods] Tongue [day 2]

I currently have each ear pierced 3 times and now my tongue. I used to have lip, but I took it out a few months ago due to my body rejecting it.

Ok, so I decided to wanted to record my journey with getting my tongue pierced for future reference if it rejects and for people who may want to know from day to day how I fared.

I got my tongue pierced at Sunland Park Mall at a place called Shield. This is the same place I got my lip pierced earlier in the year (about 6-7 months ago... my lip rejected meaning the hole kept moving almost to wear it was pushed completely out of my lip, so I decided to just take it out). The piercing itself was not painful at all, and the clamp wasn't even all that uncomfortable. Then again, I do have somewhat of a long tongue (I can touch the tip of my nose with it easily) so I probably had a much more comfortable experience in comparison to someone with an average length tongue. I experienced next to no swelling, and next to no pain during day one. I took some pain meds like the piercer had instructed so that was probably why I didn't experience pain. I was able to talk, but with a smallish lisp- and I had a lovely blue mark on my tongue because of the piercer marking my tongue for proper placement.

Now it's the morning of day 2. Pain is minimal but during the night I felt like I had to trow up! BUT this was probably due to the headache I already had and my apartment being really hot. Like, the type of hot where you sweat. I took some more pain meds, and I attempted to eat some yogurt. Swallowing does move the tongue and well this is a bit painful but nothing unbearable. Talking is easy, but it is obvious I have the piercing.

Overall, I haven't experienced that much pain. And I have to say, ears and lip hurt way more!

[Product Review] Pantene Pro-V: Color Preserve Smooth (shampoo)

[product website]

"When hair is color-treated, it changes at the structural level. It's natural protective layer is removed, allowing layers underneath to become chipped and rough. this is one reason why you may experience hair that feels like straw and color that can look dull over time."

This product is created specifically for color treated hair, which I've had for about a month and a half now. This product defiantly does it's job, and my hair has never been better even when it was not color treated. The product has a wonderful smell and it keeps my hair shiny even if I don't wash it the next day. I would recommend this product to anyone who has color treated hair- the bottle does not lie! And my mom has been using in for years now :D
