Soul on Fire

@!$%

I stretched my ears recently, (finally went from a 0g to a 00g), and have been getting the strangest reactions from a couple of the females that I work with.

Firstly, no one even noticed that I had gone up a size, yet when I pointed it out to them, they acted as though my ears had turned into a bloody festering sore, that smelled like someone used mayonnaise as deodorant on a 150 degree day.

“OH MY GOD”, they said, “THAT’S SO DISGUSTING!”

Is it? Or could it possibly be something not nearly as shocking and unnatural as they conjured it up in their heads to be?

I believe it’s the latter.

On another note, I always wonder what goes through people’s heads when they make such comments. Surely they’re not thinking that my stretched ears are attached to my body, and by them saying that they’re disgusting, are thus, (more-or-less), stating that my appearance is disgusting. That the sight of me makes them cringe and shift in their seats uneasily. That the mere thought of my presence makes them want to run into traffic. 

Alas, if they do think this, why is it so hard to keep them as thoughts? Why not cringe when I walk out of the room? Or perhaps, remember that although my ears are stretched, my feelings are still intact.

Insensitive comments such as, “that’s disgusting”, “ew”, “how could you do that?”, “you’re such a pretty girl, why would you do that?”, and whatever haphazard “zingers” these people come up with will be met with these following words:

SUCK MY DICK. PLEASE.
