Earings!!!!

I wish that before my mother decided to pierce my ears when I was a baby that she stopped to think about how pierced ears are going to plague me. I hate wearing earing. I feel as if I can feel them in my ears all of the time! Anyone who knows me has heard this and if you are one of my closest friends you have heard one of my rants. I don't even like studs. Sure, I have worn earings, but not enough that I'm just like, "hey...I think I'm going to wear earings for the rest of my life!"

Does my mother listen to me when I tell her that I don't like earings?! NO!!! She keeps giving them to me and then she gets upset when I loose them! My mom is one of those girly types of women. She puts on lipstick just to take out the trash while I can often be seen taking out my trash in my pjs with my hair in a scarf. Sorry...but last I checked I don't have to rock the runway in order to throw out my trash! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a complete tomboy either. I just don't like putting things in my ears, but no one listens to me. Sure I once had my eyebrow pierced and the upper part of my left ear, but those were different.

One of my friends makes jewlery and for Christmas she decided to make me some jewlery, what did she make me? EARINGS! Trust me, they are gorgeous earings and if I wore earings, I would rock these! They are fierce! So I wore them once for her, took pictures and then put them back in their box and kept them in my drawer. She technically can't get mad, at least I didn't loose hers. :-)

So now it's my birthday season. Yes, I said season and what's the one thing my friend told me? She wants me to wear her earings. I can't, I can't do it. I know it will hurt her, but I feel like i have to stand my ground. I feel that if some of my other friends see me in earings, they will feel the need to buy me more and I can't have that. I can't do that to myself. Why would ANYONE want to do that to themselves. When I buy or make people gifts I try to select things that I know they will use. I love to see a person rocking a shirt that I gave them 4 months later. I always act like I don't notice, but I do. I feel bad that I don't want to wear earings...but then again, I told her. I tell everyone. I don't do earings! Never have, never will!!!!!
