Today is most definitely a lazy Sunday, as I'm posting again out of boredom. I decided to go through my penny jar. My penny jar is far from a jam jar or a bottle of some description or even a tub. Its in fact a neat little piece of technology (yes I did just say neat) that counts my change as I push it through the slot. I decided to go through the entire of my change just in case it had lied to me, because pushing a coin through the slot too quickly results in it being read wrong. For example as I was letting it eat my change, it decided two 10p coins were actually pounds. Fortunately I had enough left out to match the number on the screen, saving me starting again.
And now comes the real reason for my post: I much prefer the new designs to the old ones. For a start I think its rather clever. Shiny and seven coins build up an over all image.
Me being me, they had me at shiny. They are far too pretty to spend. I've seen ever coin above so far, except the new pound coin. I'm very impressed by this new shrapnel. Very impressed and I have thought this for a while.
So why I hear you ask, have you been checking up on your penny jar? Well, I'll tell you, in change I've got: £13.09. And £40 in my piggy bank that's actually a sheepy bank. Which makes a good £50 quid. £53.09 if your pedantic. Which means tomorrow I can get two new shinny's as a Valentines present to myself.
I know, its a little sad. But who else do I have to spoil and I do this every year. The one year it was getting my lip pierced, another it was my tongue and this year its getting the first two of my four dermal skin divers done. See the trend?
Dermal skin divers, in case you don't know which you probably don't because from what my piercer has said there still relatively new. Are small studs, singular studs. Similar to dermal anchors, but a lot smaller, which I'm imagining minimizes the chance of you ripping them out. They can be put anywhere. If there's skin there you can put a dermal anchor or skin diver there. And funnily enough, this is what I'm having put in my hips. Well, the bottom of my stomach, under my belly button.
Skin Divers 'star'
Skin Divers 'belly'
Dermal Anchors (and scarification) (okay, sure, this isn't the best picture in the world, but you see those bolts hanging out of his chest, those are dermal anchors. Freaky huh?)
Now I'm no expert, but really, that's actually amazing. I thought dermal anchors were amazing when I heard about them and was adamant I was going to get those put in my hips instead of surface piercings. But really. Skin divers are closer to your skin and sure you might not be able to change the ball, but I don't really want to anyway. I've always preferred my body jewellery to look like body jewellery. And there not going to be huge, which is what I like. More delicate, less butch. (before you scream, at this point I'd never consider getting scarification really not my cup of tea).
So hopefully, tomorrow is the lucky day.
